Took some pictures this morning.
Like I said, I got a late 80s black kettle. A friend has a barrel smoker and wanted a domed lid, so he got that. I'll probably use the legs on a different project, refurbishing an older cousin's grill that has been neglected. Anyway...
I showed MacEggs' plan to an old friend that owns a welding shop. The two minor modifications were using a 1 1/2 inch upper band (because thats what Jim had on hand), and I asked him to make the legs 17" instead of 16" and turn up one inch to create "feet" on the legs. Otherwise, true to his plans:
Painted with Rust O Leum High Heat. After some debate I chose silver.

Oh, I did do something else differently. I ditched the OTS, just leaving open vents.
Ready for fire
