Handles on my 18 inch

[Jason Howard]

Nothing too new here, but figured I would post a picture.

I picked up two sets of garage door handles from Lowes (4 total) for about $3 per set, and mounted them in the grill strap holes.

Others have reported having to drill out the holes, but not me, the handles I found had big enough holes without modification.

Total install time, approx 10 minutes.

Just got to use them to lift off the top for a coal stirring...they worked great, and were cool to the touch!

Hello Jason
Thanks for that great tip! I bought my weber the other day and went out to lowes and found the handles. They only had one sets left. Put them on and they are great!
Thanks again

I did mine a little different. The setup is much the same as on the new 22 inch cookers. I used garage door pulls for mine, and installed them just under the rim. You can see them easily in this pic. I used sheet metal screws,
I did have to cut off the ends with a cutoff wheel in a Dremel tool.

My handles are mounted horizontally also, I could never figure out how vertical handles would be very functional. +1 on horizontal handles
