Title: Leg/ash pan/kettle orientation?
Post by: AmirMortal on February 01, 2020, 07:56:06 AM

So I bought this grill used, and it's a model with two handles. Looks like someone set it up wrong though.

My old (also used) 22 had no ash pan, but the handle for the vent/clean out system was installed backwards (left side of front leg), so the vents didn't line up, and the clean out didn't work right either. The obvious solution was to reinstall the handle correctly and everything worked out nicely.

This one though, I think the legs got put in the wrong order or something, and I can't seem to find clarity. Can't tell what needs to move to where. The vents are lined up perfectly, but everything else is cattywampus.

Anyone know the simple solution?

I keep trying but it won't let me. I think the files are too big, and can't find a way to reduce the resolution on my phone's camera.

Try using the wkc app.  It seems to make posting pics pretty easy. Plus you are probably already taking them with your phone.

Take a screen shot of your own pic and it will be low enough res to post on the browser. Otherwise if you install and use the app it will take care of it.

One handle lines up with the front leg and the other handle lines up in the middle of the axle.

Essentially, the legs and ash pan line up correctly, but it appears the kettle itself is 120° off, clockwise.

 Yes legs and ashpan are off.
Front leg should line up with the front handle for easier mobility and the sweep/ashpan handle should be to the left or right not between the rear legs, but position of them is all a matter of your preference.

I believe the folks here refer to it as cattywampus and sometimes leave it for a good laugh.

You can add yours to the Caddywampus Appreciation Thread.  Plenty of examples in this thread:
