would like to start off with how i appreciate the wealth of knowledge that has been shared on this site. thank you to all those before me!
while on my paternity/baby bonding leave, i've managed to find pockets of time to work on my version of a 26er retrofitted into a gen 2 cart.
after seeing the mini ranchers some of you have created, i've always wanted one but didn't have the tools and skills necessary to build one. learning to weld is on my bucket list of things to learn.
in the meantime, i've pondered of ways to build a 26 performer without knowing how to weld a frame and has a large table top i do not need gas assist at this time and I use my 26er when I want to smoke a 18lb brisket low and slow. the gas assist would be in the way for my smoking setup.
Last note, It seems that I will never completely be “done” as I am constantly finding little things here and there to change up. Overall, I am very happy with the build the way it is now and even happier if it inspires anyone else.
main parts:
Weber performer gen 2 frame
26” weber kettle
2 - 10’ superstrut strut channels (cut to size)
4 - 1” pipe clamps
1 - 36” long 3/8” axel (cut to size)
Pair - unknown bbq brackets
Table table top
tools:
Angle grinder
Drill
Drill bits
Screws and nuts
