They should come from the factory that way.  That looks great!

I was going to say the very same thing, with the $300 price tag you would think it would be something that they could do.

Stu, this is pretty much amazing.  It looks so clean and functional...just awesome!   ;D

Thanks again.....amazed at the feedback.  I forgot to mention another benefit....the 26" cover fits beautifully over the entire unit.


Also, as you can see, I removed the supports that hold the ash pan for the Ranch kettle.  However, after cutting and reassembling the frame, I was surprised to find that the ash pan supports were in the correct position to hold an old style aluminum ash pan for a 26 very similar to the actual Ranch kettle.  Therefore if you prefer the ash pan versus the enclosed ash ring/bucket, you could leave/use the supports.

Others have PMed....part number for the top frame is 85740 and the bottom frame is 85750.  I ordered the steel rod for the wheel axle but see you can buy something similar at Home Depot.

WOW! That is amazing Stu! Weber should hire you for R&D. I believe that would be one of their best sellers. Hell, I would buy one tomorrow.

inGenious! Now I not only want a 26er, I want setup like that! I have never seen a ranch kettle in person - how high off the ground is the grate level in your mod?
