No, I didn't find one. I know that is why you clicked this.

I am however going to design one for myself. I have access to my BIL's family metal shop.

I have 2 reasons for doing this. One, the legs on the new 26 are awfully weak and I was going to replace them with something stronger. Two, it's a 26" performer!

Looking at the design of my old (SS) and newer 22" Performer, it shouldn't be hard to come up with something, the hardest part being connecting the grill to the frame. I do have some ideas for this, but if anyone else has some, send them!

I will probably go with a SS table since they can easily make those.

I can reuse the wheels of my 26 OTG, so I will just have to pickup a couple casters. It won't have gas assist or drop down storage bin.

So my question is, what would the kit be worth ? I am not trying to sell them, just trying to figure out how much pork to cook my BIL's family.
 
I don't think you could put a price on a custom job. I would just do a nice pulled pork buffet and call it done. Its family anyway! They should be happy to do it.
Are you planning on drilling into your Kettle or how will the bowl attach to the cart?
 
Omar,

Got really busy so I have not got to it. My brother in law was over the other day and looked at my performer and said their shop should be able to make everything I need.

I just need to work on connecting the kettle to the cart. I don't mind drilling holes, but would rather not. I am looking at using something that would insert into the legs and then attach to the frame.

In the end, I will probably just have him make me some brackets and drill the holes.
