big kettle
« on: July 01, 2017, 08:47:53 AM »
Are there any upgrades available for the legs of the 26.75 kettles? I'd like to try doin' the rotisserie with rings but doubt the support strength of the stock aluminum legs. Thanx......Pat

You'll be fine. I have mine loaded with cast iron, rotisseries, slow'n'sear, etc.

If you move your grill often with all the weight, the front handle will eventually suffer.

There are leg upgrades.
Some have built custom carts
others have done the mini ranch mod - http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/mini-ranch-kettle-side-tables/

I'm a tried n true/ died in the wool Weber fan...... have been since the early 70's. Cuppla years ago I opted for the 26.75" kettle.....followed up w/ the 'Smokinator' which I immediately rated as overpriced junk, due to the fact that after being left out on the picnic table during an unscheduled summer thunderstorm, turned into a rusted piece of junk by the next day. So much for "stainless steel". I since have purchased OTHER grills n cookers/ smokers but have to admit....I AM A WEBER PERSON!!!!!!!!! and really wanna make my Webers (accent on the plural 's'...I have 4 charcoal kettles)and I want 'em to be my only cookers!  Gonna check into the 'mini-ranch thing.   Thanx

Mini RK is definitely stable and a pretty low cost option.
