Looks great Brian! I am trying to figure out the door, any chance you could post some pictures of it?

The door is from the opening I cut from the inner lid, its slightly larger than the black kettle lid.



For the RED lid I just mounted it through the handle ( a SS Performer charcoal bin cover handle)



Secured with Harbor Freight ground magnets. Its not airtight, but it really helps the pre heat IMO.

Aha, the two colors where throwing me. Thanks for posting!

Brian, the Redhead only had one Lid?

No, it has the inner lid swapped out from the black kid. It is secured with the fasteners on the handle bracket.

Brian,

That is awesome!! Did you use a grinder with a cutting wheel? Can you post of the cutting tool you used? I've used cutting wheel before and the enamel really flies! I can see where using the tape helps alleviate that issue. I have some extra kettles that I don't use much. I think this would make for a great project!!

Reusing the cut out with the magnets to make a door is genius!

Thanks Bob!

I drilled pilot holes on the corners and used a Harbor Freight 3" Cut off tool.
