Has anyone done any mods to their 26.75 OTG or know of any threads that I can't get some ideas from.
Thanks

Great idea, It would be a pain try and weld the kettle without grinding off the porcelain coating.Mike, no I did not weld the kettle to anything. That would not be a good idea. I will be attaching the kettle to the frame by suspending it using two metal straps. I will likely drill two holes, one on either side, possibly two on either side and bolting the kettle to the straps. The straps will be bent partially round to fit the contour of the kettle then I will weld the straps to the frame.
Arc temps can be as high as 3000 degrees so it would affect a lot more porcelain than just the area of the weld.
