I just bought a 26" kettle and love it. My only complaint was...No table...so I am in the process of completing a table to make it movable. I thought of supporting the kettle using the handles, but decided to weld mounting posts on the cart in such a way to utilize the legs already on the kettle. For the TOP, granite looked nice but was much heavier than I wanted for a movable table/cart, so I used 1/2" corian-type material that I found at a surplus store. The handle of the kettle is in a pocket that I routed out of the underlayment of the table. I left a pretty good gap between the edge of the kettle and table (that I need to finish up) because I was worried about excessive heat, but after using multiple times, the heat is much lower out on that lip than I had anticipated. I still have to put expanded metal on the bottom for charcoal storage, etc., etc.
Now, I ran across a rotisserie that I want to build a ring to hold in on the kettle.....so too many other projects...
