Default Weber kettle mountain

Just curious what you guys think of this stacker mod for the kettle?Almost finished with mine just need to seal it up and maybe add a thermometer. Got the idea from a user on Weber kettle club forum. Picture of his for reference.

Interesting. What's the thinking, run a water pan on the grate of the bottom one and have both racks for food above? I'm guessing it won't have quite the control of a WSM but should work.

At full price, not sure you gain anything. At the $35 I paid for my OTG, might be

Pretty much exactly what you said except I don't generally run water just a deflector and something to catch the drippings. Definitely wouldn't pay full price to mangle a kettle lol. I'll be trying it out tomorrow and depending on how it works I may add wsm dampners. Hopefully it's good with the kettle dampner because I don't want to screw up my premium kettle

so would your lower food grate be the diameter of the coal grate on the top kettle?

Yep. Depending on how wide you want to make the hole in the kettle you could get a bigger grate. Once you get to thinking there are a few ways to go about doing this and pretty cheap.

Care to elaborate? I know it's not the most optimal stacker but when you look at the prices of a Cajun bandit and ez stacker it makes it more acceptable.

Looks tippy to me. You could get a barrel for less and make a CB clone.

The picture isn't mine it's the guy I got the idea from. It's pretty stable and sturdy to me. Can't just push it over.

What I initially wanted to do but didn't have anywhere to burn out a barrel.

Scrub it, cut it and burn out the section on the kettle. I burn splits in my kettle all the time, just use hardwood, not softwood.

I'm already in on trying this one out. Like I said earlier I k ow it's not optimal but I'm sure it will work out.

Will probably be using a 18.5 wsm charcoal grate with expanded metal since the kettle one is so large.
