New guy here. Just wanted to swing by and say hello to the community and post some pics of my first mod to the 26.75. I couldn't stand the legs being so weak on such a big grill so I set out to find a better solution. I brought home the new grill, put it together and immediately noticed how flimsy the legs were. I thought the display model was just beaten up from people tugging and pulling but out the box my grill was wobbly as the display at Home Depot. As I was hauling away my old grills I had an idea of ripping out the guts on my 13yr old Charbroil Big Easy grill and using the legs and table for the base of the new grill. I've been using the gas grill to only light my chimney for the last 4+ years lol.
Sorry for the mess in the pics. I had this idea and immediately started in the garage while it was snowing and sleeting outside for the past 2 days.
Old gasser
Sanded, high temp paint and black to black plastic restorer
Done
I got Kingsford, Kingsford Comp, lump, and apple wood chunks in the blue bin and inside the bin is a smaller bin for the Weber paraffin cubes, my instant read thermometer, matches and other means to start a fire.
We'll see how hot it gets before I decide if the cooler stays there while cooking
Cheers!
Really happy with the setup so far. Hope you enjoyed the pics.
