Title: Midget mods
Post by: Al b que on July 23, 2017, 07:15:41 AM
A while back I think it was Troy posted about leg dimensions and how much to cut off triangle to make a shorty. can someone help me out with those Dimensions please . I recently picked up my roadside find grey top black kettle but I'm going to make a shorty smoker.

Was thinking of getting the kid one of the toy grills but might just pickup a cheap 18 and do a midget mod for him to play with, would be a much cheaper option and fun for us to work on.

Thanks for the link Rub would leg Dimensions be the same for a 22 I'm doing a stacker?

I used those lengths on my 22. The main thing to keep in mind is to make the front leg 2.25" longer than the back legs, and the ash system fits.

I cut 7 5/8" off each leg on an 18" kettle. Perfect.
