Also, depending on what you use your kettle for and how much buildup you have in there, when you start getting that hot and the stone reflecting the heat back into the bottom of the kettle, inadvertently starting a grease fire is pretty easy to do; I've done it - completely ruined the food, fvcked the stone up and had to spend quite a bit of time and caustic cleaning the kettle afterwards.
And $150 is outrageous for what it is. I would think that for about $15 worth of sheet metal and $4 worth of bolts from home deopt or lowes, you could probably build a kettlepizza clone in an hour.

Agreed, after talking with my buddy who does fabricating, he is convinced we can make something to fit on the PBC. Will it work, won't know until we are done.
side note: I was also glad to hear from him he could easily make the PBC but to clone it down to the new drum, powder coating, & grill, he couldn't beat the price. We live in a small town so getting the small things need to build ONE wouldn't be cost effective.
