Funnily enough, today I put a 26" grillmark grate into the firepit and it fits
perfectly in the cage.

I almost put a vent onto the top half, it fits nicely on a 26" bowl
They do make a 26" SM adapter, but I would think that the 22" would still "nest" in the taper of the fire pit.
Just a circle into a cone.
That last picture looks like a pretty ideal set up!
Especially with the vintage cooler
Put some sand in the bottom of that bad boy.
Great score. I have to say I'm jealous. ;D I been looking for a new Weber Fire pit as I have my dealer looking for one for me.
Thanks guys, so what dose the sand do besides help insulate from the heat? , my thoughts were it would hold moisture and promote corrosion on the heat shield. Just curious what your opinions are on it thanks again

The instructions advise sand and only mention it helps insulate the bottom.

Not sure about corrosion.. but has the porcelain cracked any after use?

Ok thanks I misunderstood I was thinking you meant sand in the heat shield don't I feel dumb. It was out of the box so I never saw the instructions about sand if the fire bowl as far as I can tell it hasn't hurt the porcelain but that seems like a good idea I'll have to pick up some sand

I think it helps prevent crazing. At least I hope it does. I put it in mine.
Congrats! We absolutely love ours. Not unlike the kettles, the lid on these fireplaces makes a significant difference over an open fire pit. With the lid on it seems to smoke less, radiate heat out the sides & just plain work better. I agree with the guys who say to use sand. It protects the porcelain, but the extra weight will also keep the fireplace from getting blown over in the wind. And you might check if Amazon still has the Weber covers for these. Last time I looked, they had one or two left.
I have one of these that I bought new but have never used yet. The instructions say to use sand to protect the bottom of the fire pit. You don't want the porcelain on the bottom of the pit to crack.
To keep the sand from getting wet, just take off the round metal stand that holds the lid and place the lid directly down on the bottom. That is also the way to put out the fire if you need to.
