Hey everybody!
A good friend of mine gave me the 22' kettle charcoal grill last year because he never used it. During winter (I live in Montreal, Quebec), the grill stayed outside, in my backyard, covered. We had crazy amounts of snow last winter and the structure/stand holding the kettle bent like crazy and now the grille is unusable.
I was curious if any pros here could shoot ideas on how I could manage to fix this either with new parts or like creating another structure from scratch DIY mode. I really don't want to get rid of it as the kettle is still in good shape.
Thanks a lot for the feedback 🍖

You should be able to get some electrical conduit for the legs.
They have aftermarket carts and stands for these. You can turn it into a budget performer.
You can buy the legs on amazon. Those connection points on the bowl though, that might need some elbow grease.
Just an example. But after market google search might help you.

Are you handy? [Homemade grill platform. ](https://youtu.be/kIhbaKEB_q0?si=p8vz5ppNxP2CAu__)?
Damn he’s hitting that stanky leg
I’d be more concerned with the bent handles. Hope they didn’t mess up the porcelain.
you can go online and find schematics to make a wooden one. It’s not very hard. It’s not cheap but you can make them cheap too. Or you can buy aftermarket stuff.

Get a hammer and hit it back to shape
It’s dead, Jim.

Also, if this helps you,
i have a whole lower assembly, a set of legs, wheels and the lower grate that connects the three legs that i would be willing to sell to you for $30 bucks but you would have to figure out a way to pick them up from me. I live in kitchener in south western Ontario and work in Toronto.
another suggestion is to mount it to a table of some sort or do something like this.

I have built two of these. It’s a modified early 1990’s stainless steel performer. I call it the double barrel 22.
The fenty fold
I keep like 4-5 around and take spare parts to fix. They’re always available cheap used
Also parts can be ordered if not on shelf at the storea
It’s got styyyyyyyyyyyyle

Probably a better price out there I’m sure, but if not here you go.
Would not recommend trying to bend them back. Tubular aluminum or mild steel is going to break when you bend it back. Short story, you’ll do more damage trying to ‘fix’ it.
Little fella looks too drunk to make it to his car.
I would build a table and mount it in that.
Kinda related. Once had an off brand grill and the leg broke off near the top of leg/bottom of charcoal grill. I remembered that when I was a teenager (many many years ago) my dad taught me how to solder—and I had the materials in my garage. Repaired it beautifully and even bragged about it. I felt like a genius until I didn’t – ugh when I cooked in it… the grill got hit and the solder remelted and it all fell over. 🤦♀️🤦♀️ lol
Could be a Homer Simpson art piece.
Buy a new set of legs for it.

I fabbed my own in gal pipe, gave her a lift and some duallies…
Either build a table or buy new legs from Amazon. Those legs are a pain in the ass to get off by the way.

My 26.75” gold hit the stanky leg and I converted to a table. This is a stainless table you can get from Amazon, I cut a hole and dropped it in. Also added a pizza kettle at the same time.
No shelf control.
As others have stated, just buy the replacement parts. Personally I hate the ash catcher. My 22” has it and my 18.5” and 14” don’t. Much prefer just the budget/disc for simplicity.
