weber kettle exhaust mod?
I've been looking around on here and haven't found anything yet. does anyone out there have a mod they do for their kettle so then can adjust the exhaust with out burning the hand. obviously i can use a utensil or a glove but where's the fun in that? :biggrin1:
i wish my 22.5 OTG had the little piece on the exhaust like the performer so you wont burn yourself when touching it. like this: http://uncrate.com/p/2011/05/weber-performer-grill.jpg is there maybe something you can buy that will fit over it? any ideas, brethren? |
Drill a hole in the tab, install a small porcelain knob from the hardware store. I've seen some grills with just a bolt.

I suppose you could drill a hole through the upturned metal of the upper exhaust and put a metal rod through it with a wooden handle. I know people do a similar mod for the smokey joe mini-wsm mod bottom exhaust (I didn't for mine).

I'll tell you this much. I ordered The new mini chimney, and asked if they had free shipping. she said she'd wave shipping for me. Before I got off the phone, I asked about the ash catcher tabs for an OTS, she just threw them in for free.
I know some folks here have bad luck with Weber customer service, but I'm not one of them. Give them a call, worst thing they can do is say, "No". Matt |
Update:
I called Weber because of another issue here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh....php?p=2343598 I asked if I could purchase one the little tabs that come on the performer exhaust and the lady said no. I have to have a performer of my own, which I don't. I found this really shocking. It doesn't make me mad but it's sure surprising to me. Sent from my Nexus using Tapatalk 2 |
Weber will only sell you parts for grills that you own and have registered.
