Thank you, Tim! The vent mod has come in handy many times and makes for quick adjustments. I may want to switch to wood after the new handles show up. I don't remember the size of the Vortex I ordered, but would take up a good amount of space in an 18in.
I agree, no point in adding it if you have that one already. I thought about getting another one for the Jumbo Joe, just haven't pulled the trigger since it's not used that much.
I know someone has pointed out where they found those vent handles but, I’m too stupid to figure out where I saw them, where did you get yours Drew?
One other thing you should do from time to time, is take off the bolts that hold on the lid handle. Clean off the threads of the bolts and clean the nuts. Do the same thing with the thermometer. Remove it and clean it (front, back, sides) from time to time. This will just make it easier to take off in the future to replace in case your thermometer stops working or your handle gets bents/broken.
I purchased mine from BBQ Smoke Mods website. Think they were around 4 bucks plus shipping. May be able to find it on Amazon as well.
Thank you, Kyle. I'll make sure to do that the next time I clean her up. I really want to make sure this one lasts for a good while and open to any ideas to do that. SOB! I didn't even think of the tool hooks!
I use them pretty much every time out of convenience and pretty sure I could live without them. Have you or anyone ever looked into the Dragon Folding shelf? Was looking at that the other day, but was concerned how much wear it would have on the side of the kettle?
I think I’m going to talk to my cabinetmaker buddy about making some in cypress to match the rest of my handles. Should not be to difficult turn a few. Thanks for the information!
Do it!!!
I wish Weber would do the 26er in any color besides black.
Been a while. Recently picked up the basic KettlePizza to try making pizza outside instead of in the oven. I modified the hinged grate slightly to be able to load wood chunks when needed and wanted to share. Works well with the Dough-Joe 15x15 1/4in steel we were already using in the oven.
Thank you, sir!
