Handles

I realize this is probably pretty subjective, but can people out there please point me to some nice (maybe even bespoke) wooden handles for the following? WSM; Performer; Smokey Joe.

Thank you!

Brian O'Neal, aka Zavod44 is the owner of grillhandle.com, he also goes by the handle executor70 on Ebay. Brian is very well known on the Weber kettle Club forum which really caters to Weber kettles & restoration projects. I have purchased 3 full sets of wooden handles from him, (2) 22” kettles & my Performer. The complete sets include 2 handles, vent wheel tab, ash sweep handle & lid bale wire rollers. He can make just about anything you request pending his wood inventory. Listed below is his listing on Ebay:

Actually I think grillhandle.com is that other guy, but here is another vote for Zavod handles. I've bought a bunch.

The Ebay store listed above is a good way to find him.

I've tried to be discreet, but this is a direct quote from Brian "Zavod" O'Neal in April 2022:

Yeah old Brandon's at it again stealing my ideas, stealing my pictures….
I have absolutely nothing to do nor will I ever have anything to do with that guy again. He's such a phony he refuses to take my name off of his website I have had nothing to do with him for over 4 years on that grill handle website.

At one time there was a partnership - it seems it didn't work out. You can certainly buy handles from them, but they won't
be "Zavods". I accidentally purchased some during the "break up" period. I make sure that I am getting genuine Zavod handles now.

Just my two cents.

 

[MichaelLC]

I bought some from grillhandle and they're good handles. Had to check in a few times; took multiple months to deliver. Handles are good quality though.

Just ordered some for my GGA from Beeblebrox, so will be able to compare.

So here's Zavods:



And here's grillhandle:


Fit is better on eBayer's, but I like the look of grillhandle better. Not a one-to-one, as it's a different wood, but think I like the unpainted look.

I'm sure both will last a long time, and very happy not to have the plastic handles.

I agree looks great!!

I used a guy named Mark Britt to make a set of cypress handles for the Overperformer with vent handles but, I use the thing year round and the handles don’t much like Michigan winters, they didn’t get installed this summer.

I just saw that these come up in california. I have no idea if they're a good deal or not. I'd imagine they would ship pretty easily.

It's all relative. Here in northern Michigan, I'd probably offer $10 per handle and seller would need be within a 10-15 mile radius.

Brian (Zavod) usually has all sorts of styles available that are not listed on eBay, and you can also reach out to him on Instagram for custom requests: https://www.instagram.com/zavod44/

 

[Tim Campbell]

Thanks so much, everyone. Huge help. Sorry for the delayed response...really appreciate the help.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I have found Brian's workmanship to be top drawer.

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

I just looked at my ebay history and I bought some from executor70 back in 2017 for my kettle and they are still going strong.

And that is the name Brian O'Neil (aka Zavod) uses on eBay. All of his that I have bought have held up AOK so far.
