Anyone ever make their own Weber Summit?

Has anyone ever tried to nest a 22" in their 26" to create a double walled kettle?

[Huskee]

Interesting. Never tried it. I have a loose 26" bowl & lid but not a loose 22"...... I bet if it fit like we're imagining it'd work pretty nice efficiency-wise but be a pain to operate, that vent would get hot!

[Attjack]

One day I'll run across an old broke down 22 and I'll experiment. As far as the vent goes I was thinking one would install a fan.

Attjack, just get you some clay and sculpt your own Kamado kettle, fire it in a kiln, boom! Home made Kamado.

I am now thinking "Play-dough grill".

[Troutman]

Ah but how would you properly form the dimples? Large golf ball form?

[Attjack]

I've definitely thought about that too.

Interesting idea. I’m thinking you just need the lower half of the 22 and a complete 26. Leave the bottom vent in the 22 fully open and use a few bricks to create an air space between kettles. Might be worth it in a colder climate?

Interesting idea.

I think the leg receivers would probably provide the spacing.



But I also think you would want the lids to nest too, or you would lose a lot of the insulative properties you get from the a double walled setup.

[SmokeyGator]

True. I forgot about the leg spacers. Using the lid for the 22 May or may not require modification of the handle, but that wouldn’t be a big deal.

Anyway interesting idea. Certainly something to keep in mind when hitting up yard sales or when someone just leaves a kettle on the side of the road.
