All you vintage 26'r owners and those looking for that elusive "original 26" ash pan" - what is the consensus?? Can it be had? Does Weber/eReplacements sell them?
I've had numerous inquiries regarding my recent acquisition of the EO red if it is indeed a 26" ash pan-WTF? I don't know! All I do know is that it looked good in the pics @Jeff sent me. It didn't really matter to me at the time.
I had some twist on's from 22's that are the same size and years ago when I had "Earl Grey" I ordered a replacement pan from Weber using the schematics only to find out it was the same size as the 22" pans (which really pissed me off when I had dozens laying around) I was able to recover the original J hook(which I thought was a DIY)
And when I was dropping the Red into the Ranch frame I happened to notice that the 26.75" OTG Ash can assembly is the exact same size as the 22" OTG/Master-Touch!! Who would have known? I have yet to see a Flat-Top "OTG" yet.
So what is the answer?? I saw a lot of 26'rs in a thread without pans and owners looking for an "original 26 pan" - so besides the U cutout/J hook pans what is considered "the real deal"???
Personally I think its a scam!
Lets get to the bottom of this once and for all!

Are we questioning if the 26 pan is the same size as the 22 pan? Yes, the 26 pan is larger.

the OTG style ash catchers used on the one-touch 26" are the same as the ones used on the OTG 22"
The twist on ash pans and u-cut-out ash pans for the 26" are bigger than the ones used on a 22"

I don't see it as a possible bitch-fest. No one seems to have any, or can find buried in the posts here, documentation on the size of the original j-cut/twist-on ash pan for a MBH 26'r. Curious minds would like to find out. @Craig , do you have that info?
Thanks!
Thanks!

OK- But can anyone provide dimensions?
I never took the time to measure the J hook 26" pan, but did have an 18" twist on side x side. If I remember the 22" almost sat in the 26'r pan.

Thanks @Jeff! For the sake of those searching for the "elusive 26'r pan" can you provide specs?
***As a side note***
Anyone considering a Mini Ranch with a 26'r Daisy wheeler - the 22" Ash pan perfectly fits (provided you measure twice and cut once!)

All of the above. And if anyone with a j-cut/twist-on ash pan can chime in with those measurements, it would be appreciated...

P.S. If someone has an extra 18" twist on ash pan they want to part with I'd be happy to add that to the comparison

I received your pan in excellent condition. Thank you again. 👍I began the clean up and polish. I can measure and post the dimensions. It is at home and I am at work. Gimme a few hours.

I gave up on looking for a vintage ash pan and just ordered one from ereplacementparts.com for ZZ top. Yeah, he's an old timer but I'm looking for functionality over esthetics.

I bought a new 26 pan from Weber thinking I would cut a 22 twist pan out of it. It was only 15" in diameter. It would have been big enough if the edge was not turned down. Same turned down edge as my 96 daisy wheel has on it's 14" pan.
