I really enjoy seeing how all you folks tinker with your kettles. I've just started to play with mine, a 1990 22". I've already made s set of short legs for it, and that went well, but just for shigiggles I think I'll try to make a tall version.
I wish I had metalworking equipment to fabricate something like a charcoal basket. Man I miss my junior high school metal shop. If I had that equipment at hand I would be banging out portable grills.
Anyway, just saying Hi and keep the sparks flying.
