yes they are permanent in the sense I have them tightened up on mine and not sure if you would want to take them on and off ?
I am pretty sure it was tacodoc that did a cool mod on his and put on leveling feet on his partner ! very cool idea and if you got those expansion nuts or whatever he used in a smaller size you could make a mount that goes on and off ?
the L channel does not stick out to much and I cant see using mine out of the IGT ?
I ordered mine without the lid attached or the front handle but I have the windscreen for the IGT
also thought the lid could do some double duty around camp turn it over line it with foil great tray
put it back on solid surface for when I am doing just the BBQ etc..
so in travel I just put a strap around it just like the BBQ box from SP uses
I just came up with it on my own so no plans
in quick get the L channel at home depot etc. cut to length then mark where the holes need to be on the L channel then take a drill door knob hole thingy
forgot the exact term but used for doors the size of the opening of the valve knobs ( I had one around that was a touch smaller but worked fine) Itook a scrap piece of wood and drilled a hole in it to act as a guide then clamped that down on top of the L channel against another piece of wood and made the holes smoothed them off and bolted it up using some stainless hardware
since often when we go places we do not have tables we need a place to cook from so instead of setting up a table then putting stuff on it the IGT is pretty slick
also places that do have tables we often use for eating
and having the IGT along side of us at a bit lower level allows me to sit and cook if I want along side the table
so for my family and sure others
the IGT is a great idea for cooking
