Quick fix for the wobbles

[Bob Correll]

Perhaps mentioned before, but today I finally did a quick fix to the wobbly legs on my 22 OTG.

One, broken in half, round toothpick in each socket did the trick.
Turn grill upside down, pull out legs, insert toothpicks, replace legs, done.

You could also just twist/turn the legs.

Here's another. When you shut it down twist/turn the lid until it's snug and the fire will go out faster.

Funny, I just fixed some stripped wood screws on a back door on a side-job with some TP's.
They will prolly scorch and turn to char after awhile.(But toothpicks are cheap) Someone mentioned Alum foil or tape around the legs as a shim.
I just ran 3 self tapping sheet metal screws thru mine and it's been solid.

I used fire retardant TPs

Bob, where does one find fire retardant toothpicks? At the "fire retardant stuff" store??

 

[Bill Freiberger]

I usually wrap the end of the leg in aluminum foil. That seems to do the trick and doesn't burn up.

Tried the alum thing first, didn't work for me.
Don't forget that Weber grills use to have wooden handles.
I'll report back if they burn up, but I just don't see that happening.

Bob. From a Carpenter to a Surveyor try the ST screws. Trust me they are the catz arse.

I put a small stub of broom handle inside the legs and used a machine screw to hold I think I may have seen that done by Mr. Lampe?

Actually the best quick fix for the wobbles is to switch to light beer.

 

[Jim Lampe]

must be all that fricken meat i put on the weak Webers
