I have the 22.5 stacker kit and it works great, but I can't confirm the fitting with it on a WSM or if it is the same exact stacker as the WSM stacker they have. I personally don't have any issues with my stacker making my kettle tipsy, but I generally use it on a performer. I can confirm...

There have been some people that will add air vent dampeners to their lids, but generally they do so on a cheap throw away lid like a 22.5". I probably wouldn't recommend doing it on a 26er lid unless you just have a junk extra lid. There is a member on WKC that actually has four lid vents...

I would offer less. It isn't an unreasonable price, but that Ranch has had a bit of a rough life. The charcoal grate is pretty rough and the top grate appears to be a replacement(one good thing about it) so its hard saying what the original grate looked like. I would also say this one has been...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HZ9ZXWJ/?tag=tvwb-20 Probably the best price for bulk buy. Weber is crazy to list them at the price they do.

I am ok with the diffuser plate and rack delete as long as they make it available for a reasonable price. Would be nice if it fits in the 22 as well. Will most certainly fit in the 26er. The reasonable price is the big kicker. I don't have a problem splitting things up so I can pick and...

I am just doing the math and from what I can see on the exterior it doesn't look like it warrants a $500 price drop. I mean removing the gas ignition and some of parts that made it look more substantial/premium quality might be $200 or $300. I will stay optimistic that this is a solid deal...

I managed to buy stainless steel rods from Grainger and have them delivered. If you have a metal supply near by that is also an option. The cheapest way to cut the axels is probably an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. I was lucky enough to have access to a chop saw. If you are using it on...

Hmm I wonder if this is really a true second generation or just an addition to the existing line up. At least on the surface there is no gas assist, they simplified the triangle so it is less material, they removed the tool holder, and added casters to the back. The real question is did they...

I used stainless steel collars on both sides of my tires and left maybe a half inch space on each side between the inside collar and frame. If you are really worried about it you could also install some plastic washers.

Some have removed the table and dropped another kettle in on the other side. Definitely works with an SSP frame. A modern frame might be a little tight but I think it would work. I have seen a custom set up made with a table in the middle but it requires a pipe bender to fabricate.

I believe Fedex notifies you as soon as the label is created. I imagine it is pending pick up so it will be in route within a day or so probably. I remember seeing my Fedex tracking history being created a day or two before Weber actually notified me.

Never use high heat paint or any material inside the kettle that isn't definitely food grade. Clean it and oil it is your best bet if you are trying to do it on the cheap. Best long term solution has been mentioned with Killa Grilla.

Black kettles have their uses, but if I could only have one or two kettles they wouldn't be black.

I think the best gasket for a kettle is just frequent use so grease/smoke clogs all the air gaps. Sometimes the bowl or lid can be slightly out of round making leakage worst though so that is something you can check with a tape measurer. I wouldn't bother with a gasket unless it was a...

I have the Glen Blue 26er and it does seem more solid than some of the MTs of the past in terms of not being as wobbly. However I believe they should go with a Mini Ranch style or even Performer style cart to drop the 26ers into. I would have gladly paid an extra $100 for a better leg system.

I did a write up of my build on WKC as well. If anyone is curious. http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=42492.msg422900#msg422900

I did something similar with my Ranch. Raised it up to the height of modern performers roughly. I found the wheels at Harbor Freight and Service Caster to be the best place for the casters. They have tons of selection by size, metal type, and etc. More importantly they list how much they...

As for prices in the above Platinum I commonly see them in the $100 to $150 range. They only seem to move quickly in that range if they are the Brick Red or just exceptionally clean. When they get in the $75 or below area they sell quickly. You can buy a used Performer cart in the $150 to...

Personally I would buy an 18" kettle, put the ash bucket on it, and then do a midget mod. You get all of the advantages of a regular kettle, but it is a little bit bigger to travel with. If I was going to go with something similar to a Jumbo Joe, I would look for an Outrider (the predecessor...

I do not have one myself. I think they would be fine for general grilling, but one major criticism is the top vent placement. I know that it probably wouldn't work as well for vortex wings, because I have read that the Ranch has the same problem. I believe it (along with the Ranch) has a...
