Discada handles?

You could just call a local welding shop and see if they'll do it for you. Shouldn't cost much at all.

A welding, wrought iron shop, or even mechanic shop will have a small welder laying around and will probably do it for a few bucks or a few beers. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is drilling holes and using nuts and bolts.

Try a muffler shop.

chipping hammer make good handles

I sure there vocaational school in your area, or a local high school shop. At our school we weld for free

Buy a set of vise grips and use them as needed. You don't have to weld on handles but I am sure it would be nice.

In the interim just get a set of long vise grips and have at it.

Don't go to a pro welder and ask him to work for beers. You will get a very short and probably unfriendly answer. Good fabricators charge something like $90/hour and would charge a minimum of one hour's time for this job.

That said, shear a couple pieces of flat bar to length, punch two holes, drill a 5/16" hole down the center of a wood dowel, bolt through with a long 1/4-20 bolt, weld to disc .. that's how I did mine. When I get a buddy with a wood lathe owing me a favor, I'll get some custom turned hardwood handles. Until then, ugly but very functional.

But you are mixing up burner design and handle design. You want your handles to stay cool, right, that's the whole point. If they act as standoffs so hot air can go beneath, they will get as hot as the hot air, which in this case is very hot indeed.

+1 on the auto mechanic's shop, they can weld with the best of them without the attitude, I know, I am one! JB

Muffler shop will weld them, maybe for "Trade"

Or go to hardware store and pick up a couple garage door bolt on handles.
