Lid bail attachment or hinge??

Hi all,
I’ve just purchased a limited edition 22” red kettle and looking to add lid bail or hinge attachment to it. I really don’t like the lid hanger. What would you all recommend?
Also any tips or tricks appreciated!
Thanks

I installed a lid bale on my copper premium with relative ease. I went to Home Depot to get some quick measurements on a master touch before I drilled the holes. I’ve thought about the hinge but I fear the wind catching it and tipping the kettle. That’s just my 2 cents.

I have a hinge on one of my kettles. Probably wouldn’t do it again. I like the bail better on my others. The hinge is nice if you build a table to put your kettle in.

I installed a lid hinge on my 2006 original kettle - back when I had ONE kettle….39 ago?? Lol… I like it, but probably won’t put one on another. I also put one on my 22” WSM and wouldn’t trade it for anything. I say try it…. And maybe buy a master touch used and see if you like that. Realistically, the most convenient grills I have are early 2000s OTP with lid bails and tables. Love cooking on those.
