Dreamed up two things really.
One is to attach half thickness fire brick to the lid and the fir pit so it can do double duty as a brick oven of sorts.
I can get these brick cheap up the road where they make them.

The other is to completely redesign the way a lid or cover comes off the pit and the shape of the cover.

The shape on the cover of the one in the link will not allow the grill to go up very far if it is closed.
Why not just make the cover square and not have angles cut in it or round like most are?
This would allow the grill to move all the way up.
Next why not just make the cover go straight up and not tilt back?
Why not put the adjustment or raising wheels down low where anyone can reach them?
The windlass would solve that problem.
The back of the cover could be made to go up with the cover or stay where it is for a wind block as the cover goes up.
You would have a choice.
