Show your pit!

multiple reasons.

mainly, i can't stand dealing with the 3 daisy wheels on the bottom. i strongly prefer the one-touch system.

plus, with so many kettles on my back deck, wasps become a problem - so i moved all but the two performers and the green kettle to the garage.

I love the daisy wheels! I can't stand the OT's. Funny!

the daisy wheels let ash and embers fall and fly all over
the daisy wheels get too hot to touch
they're usually too hard to turn, or too easy to turn

the one touch is USUALLY cool enough to touch.
falling ash and embers are solved by the gold/performer version of the ash bucket

You are exactly right. Those are definitly draw backs. I can't tell you how many times I have been burned turning those things. The daisy's are mainly good for smoking where you only need one.

[Troy]

i can see where the daisies would be easier to fine tune for smoking

i do pretty well with the one-touch though, it just takes some getting used to.

with my bandit, i just keep the vents completely closed until the temps start to run low (usually after 15 hours)

New to the sight, just added this vintage 26" to my collection.
Need to find legs for the table. Such a classic not sure if I should be using it.

Sweet 26 and sweet table.  You should add [img]  to the front of the links so we don't have to click on them.

That vintage 26 is fantastic glrasmussen, and the table is badass.

Knowing weber, they probably used the same piping that the legs use.

I think it's just 1" aluminum. one of the other guys knows more i'm sure.

[Duke]

Welcome! Very nice indeed.

[glrasmussen]

Thanks! I will post a pick when I find some legs.
Found a gem, had a lucky horseshoe that day.
Bet is hadn't been used but a handful of times.
Came with a cover, tossed it, more fun to look at!

Very interesting color, love it!

You can usually get some shower rod.  It's just 1" aluminum tube.  You could have legs tomorrow.  Take the caps off the small propane bottles and put them on the ends, voila!

Zav THANKS! Menards tomorrow!

Make sure it is 1 inch OD.

For the leg tips, like Brian said I have used propane caps with great success.  ACE HW also sells "Plastic Tips".  The package says Plastic Tips, 4 Pcs.  The one inch version is part number 56020, and the cost 2 bucks for the four pack.

I'd love to take one of those off your hands if you dont want them.  -Craig
