Title: newer mastertouch height
Post by: johnny 2 shack on March 10, 2018, 09:04:01 AM
has anybody lowered the height on the newer mastertouch ? i find it a little to high , if so how much can it be lowered before it starts affecting the triangle . would like to get it to the height to my ssp . maybe it would tighten up the wobbly legs too . tks in advance .

Just use the legs and triangle from a non mastertouch.

That is fine with 6" wheels. If you want to use 8" MT wheels.... back 2 legs needs to be shortened by 1" to compensate for height diff.from using bigger wheels, and the front leg triangle hole drilled 1" higher to make the triangle level.

great advice guys , but i was wondering if i could just trim a little off the legs . it's no big deal though i can get used to the new height but all i ever cooked on are the old shorter ones . just feels a little different . plus i thought if they were shorter it would tighten up the wobbly legs a bit .

Id say just give it some time.

I think a few have used aluminum foil tape on the legs to provide more friction to reduce The wobbly legs

I would keep the stock legs, triangle, 8" wheels (for resale value, if you ever decide to sell). Find a used or donor 22.5" OKC (Original Kettle Charcoal) grill with the standard leg height, triangle, and 6" wheels, change them

out. This would lower the height about 3 1/2". The newer OKC legs already has the hole for the snap in retainer clip. Then sell the lid and bowl (on craigslist, facebook marketplace, offerup, letgo, or even here on the

WKC "Member Sales & Trades," etc.), or just keep it to sell later. You can also inquire if any other WKC members here has an extra set of OKC legs, triangle, 6" wheels up for grabs on "Member Sales & Trades."

 I would be interested in the leg set. I would prefer a higher grill than my standard size. Maybe we could even trade!
