Ok, I’m going to purchase it. Don’t be surprised if I call on y’all for assistance.

Will do. The only reason I failed on the vent ring, is I used my angle grinder. And that was maybe similar to trying to kill a fly with a sledge hammer. It was just way too much tool. @Barefly has it right with the tin snips.
I ended up buying a vent ring from Spider Grills for $44 and I don't think they stock them any more.

FWIW, I recently saw a YT video on a guy installing the cart on his 26" Weber Kettle and he said it was much easier than installing one on his 22'" Kettle. He then put the kettles side by side. They look great and the 26" is a beast compared to the 22".. He did upgrade to a larger caster.
As always, YMMV.Last edited by Purc; September 20, 2026, 05:48 AM.Comment

My 26 was easier, cause the vent ring didn't get in the way. -
Argh............drilling out the factory threads to install larger casters isn't necessary. A person just needs to spend a few minutes shopping for the same thread size as original as there are casters with a wide range of choices. One of the issues with the web, faulty info perpetuates... -
I did not put the Lift Kit on the 26, the legs don't change the height.
But I did add them to the 22. The legs will lower the 22 a few inches. And then Weber gave us Smart Rings which raises the cooking grate 4" and I no longer needed the lift kit. And really, I don't think I needed it to begin with.
I saw no need for the larger casters. That was a Tom Horsman mod, he drilled his out to fit, also
Video shows how easy these Kettles roll with the Legs.

UPDATE:
Some things got stuck in our web...
Because of how much our incredible community is loving our Kettle Carts, we've been scrambling to adjust our small company team to dealing with big company demand. Our warehouse team is working tirelessly, managing record order volume, limited warehousing space, and delivery delays beyond our control. We're putting in extra hours and extra costs to get these carts to your backyards as quickly as we can. Now that we've been able to get solid information from our shipping partners, we're sending an update on some shipping delays you may have noticed on your Kettle Cart Order.
Here’s the updated timing:
• ALL 26" Kettle Carts and the first wave of 22" Kettle Cart Pre-Orders (Order Numbers up to 26835): shipping by the end of next week (October 16th).
• All remaining orders: shipping the week of October 19th.

Lynn Dollar do you mean “covered up” or “caught up”? If the former, I don’t think they are covering up anything, just being transparent, IMHO. I’m a patient person… 🙃 -
I meant that that the were very very busy. Those Legs are selling like hot cakes.

Spider Grills is at an interesting place from a business perspective.
They've got a hot product, sales are booming. Do they expand and hire more people ?
They can't meet demand now, but how long will this demand hold up ? Can this level of sales be sustained after the original demand is met ? If not, they have to contract.
Is it best to not grow and just meet demand the best they can ?
I would think long term, they'd have to project their sales to align somewhat with new Kettle sales.
Then there's always the possibility of some other manufacturer putting a similar product on the market and taking away sales, especially if they can produce one at a lower price.
