a few members on here have done it, that's where I got the idea. I cut each leg to 7 1/2" long and bought some 1" plastic safety caps from Home Depot for $1, project complete. EASY!

i like the lid holder! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
So do I - a LOT. What I really like about is it puts the lid completely out of the way of the cooking surface.
You could also check Ace or Tru-valu for the Slide-Aside.
I bought mine in 06 from Farm&Fleet which is a Weber dealer for $16.00.
I know Weber discontinued it for a while, good to see it back cause I need another one.
I love the lid holder too. I did the same thing with my old 18. I used 8 inch legs and then you can hang the lid from the bowl wo it touching the ground. I like your idea better thou.
I just took my old brown 18.5 to the beach last week and just removed the whole leg set and packed it in my truck this time. I think the regular 18's are pretty portable already because they don't take up that much space as it is. I also took the slide aside along with some other acccessories. It was nice not having to look for a place to set it and it was a comfortable hieght.
Pizza first night ("16).
Chorizo and eggs in the morning.
Stuffed crabs as an appetizer.
Salmon, fresh sword and "gus".
Burger and fries.
I plan to just use my SJG when I really don't need much space now. I still think the SJP's are really cool though.
