Only thing that Weber needs now is a 2-stroke engine and a steering wheel. Great vid!

@RaleighSmoke 3 года назад

Lol! Totally agree! I wish I could have put a motor on it. Ha! Would be cool if Weber offered some wheel options.

SAAAWWWEEETT MOD! I know this video was made in 2021 but since then there have been some AWESOME after market accessories to come out for the Weber Kettle. I recently added a Spider Grills Venom air controller and I just ordered a Hunsaker Air Diverter. Should be here soon. I'm in Apex we should get together and do some grillin! This weekend I'm smokin some pork belly to be used as bacon.

@johnpryes4360 4 месяца назад

Harbor Freight had the wheels for $6 this weekend so I had no choice . . . . For Weber22 folks - the axle I finished with was 27.5" and front leg 22.25" One thing I found was it seems back heavy, like wants to tip over towards the new wheels. I'll look to add weight there somehow but all in all makes the Weber much more movable, to avoid rain etc when in cooks. Bravo sir, great job!

@RaleighSmoke 4 месяца назад

You can go with an aluminum rod and end caps, but it will cost you a bit more. I’ve thought about doing that for my PK grill.

Awesome Jon!! All terrain kettle... wish Weber invested in better wheels for their grills.

@RaleighSmoke 3 года назад

Definitely would be cool! Phil would have liked this one. I specifically used the same music he used in one of his kettle mod videos. Hope you’re doing well!

@BiggsHomeCookin 3 года назад

Doing well... thanks! Hoping to put a video out soon...

@campmeatbbqcampmeatbbq7951 3 года назад

Hey John, Cool Mod!! I was thinking caster of som kind on the front before you showed the dually, cool. I can just see Phil in Florence commenting about this mod John, wish he were still here with us. J

@RaleighSmoke 3 года назад

I debated showing that option. You can buy a expandable caster mount to fit any size pipe/leg. Not expensive either. Like less than $3. I just didn’t want to wait on shipping. Besides, I like the bigger wheels better. Your right that Phil would have like this one. I specifically used the same music he used in one of his Kettle mod videos to give a nod to the man.

@abc-jq4hi 3 года назад

I'm going to do the same thing to my Weber but I think I'm going to try using solid rubber wheels because I don't want to constantly have to air the tires up.

@x-man4702 Год назад

Thanks for the video! Quick question: the Weber wheels that you removed in this video came with your kettle grill from the factory or did you upgrade them before this video?

@RaleighSmoke Год назад

Factory. Mine is an anniversary edition.

@x-man4702 Год назад

@@RaleighSmoke I had no idea those wheels came from the factory on Weber Kettles, thanks for getting back to me. Those wheels look like the same as in the Genesis or some of the Spirit line, I wonder if they will work on the Weber Performer and the non anniversary edition Kettles...

@stevedoris9002 3 года назад

Love the mod. But I couldn’t catch the hardware you used. So it’s a locking nut and washer behind and in front of the wheel And on the inside of the leg what was it

@RaleighSmoke 3 года назад

There’s no textbook way to do it. It’s all 5/8 hardware. From the outside in I did a lock nut, lock washer, wheel, flat washer, nut, flat washer, leg, flat washer and nut. I’m pretty sure that’s how I did it.
