I have had my 18 inch WSM a while. It has the circle handle. The door is shot and so is the handle. I would like to get the cajon SS door, however I do not have a handle. What should I do?
 
I wonder if Weber would sell you one of the handles from the new models. My guess is that they would only sell it with a door. You'd have to call them. You might also want to call Cajun and see if they have something.

Your other option depends on how handy you are. A trip to a good hardware store would get you all the parts you need to fabricate a handle assembly. You'd have to be creative, but it could be done.
 
I have a 20+ year old 18.5" WSM and recently replaced that same flimsy aluminum door and the round knob latch (which was very worn out) with a Cajun Bandit door and Southco compression latch. The old door was very leaky and the new setup is quite solid and sealed things up very nicely. I would strongly recommend the Southco compression latch and a Canjun Bandit door.
