22.5 Donor lid

[Fwismoker]

Looking for a 22.5 donor dome lid. Before you say Craigslist let me tell you that no one BBQ's in this State so CL is useless.

I'm thinking just doing a 22.5 Jumbo Joe unless someone has another suggestion. I figure with the JJ at least I'll have another kettle in case it's needed.

Try Big Lots, or some similar discount store. I've seen 22.5" kettles for $25-$30.

Nice suggestion although it looks like Big Lots grill is a 21.5

Jumbo Joe's are $70ish, right? You could try calling Weber and see if they will sell you a lid only for cheaper than that. Just tell them you have an old OTS and want to get a new lid for it.

LOL...$72 dollars for a Weber lid with a handle kit they charge separately for. Looks like the 22.5 Jumbo is the best way to go.

Cost of gas, a bit of time and I have a Weber knock off bottom you can have. The lid is already on one of my UDS's. Similar to N8man's , second photo down.

Thanks, could be an 18" but I'll find out.

Yea it's hard to tell but worth a shot

It's an 18. The position of the lid vent gives it away.

What's a 22.5" lid worth to ya? I know where there's a couple.

Oh just about a trip to Wally or Lowes to get the $68 22.5 JJ... The positive is that It'll be an extra grill.

Harbormaster is right. The handle is sideways to the top vent.
On a 22.5 the handle is in line with the vent.

Just out of curiosity, what project do you have going that requires the extra lid?

You are not kidding about the Craigslist thing, and Indiana in general. I'm so jealous of all these CL finds that people post about.

I have been wanting to take a look at 270 smokers. Have to drive three hours to Amish country Ohio. Want to look at backwoods or humphrey? Hit the road to St. Louis for just shy of 6 hours.

Mostly gas grills, I've spotted a few kettle grillers but even those people use lighter fluid! :twitch:

I went to an Egg Fest a few years ago just outside of Ft. Wayne. I don't remember the name of the place but they sold the BGE and I think Yoder.

Other than that, your best bet up there is the local Ace Hardware type place having kettles.
