Jocool - how are the kettles mounted? If I had to guess I'd say the handle brackets are secured to the underside of the table top. Your table surface doesn't butt up against the bowl, does it?
I mounted my Kettles by drilling a 1/4 hole in each of the straps that support the charcoal and cooking grates. And then used some perforated metal straps to connect to the table. I can get some more details pictures when I'm on the PC to show you.
There is a guy not far from me that regularly makes and sells a single kettle table on E-Prey. He just cuts the hole and has the 2 handles supporting the kettle. It seems to work for him.
And yrs, I have left a 1 inch air gap all the way around the kettle so I don't overheat the table and make it smolder.
