Hi all - my dilemma: I found an SJP (6 of them actually) on sale (10% off) at the local Ace hardware store. I've been holding out for a used 18.5 one touch gold that I can cut the legs off of and therefore keep the ash catcher and eliminate the air flow issues....
However, after a month of daily Craigslist scans, not one 18/5 gold has turned up.
So here's my question: does the notched handle and the holding wire of the SJP fit on an 18.5 gold? If so, I 'll continue to wait for a used gold to show up and order the parts to add to it (luv the handle option). However - if it does not fit than I will risk life & limb and put to use my barely existent technical skills to try modify the SJP - and give up on the ash catcher. The grill will mainly be used for pulled pork and steaks at the beach one week out of the year.... I know, I know - if this is my biggest problem in life, than I should just quit whining. You are correct - but it's what I do best. Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. Luv this forum.
