Thanks! The problem is not having receipts or anything because it came used with my 26. I've actually gone back to SNS easy spin for the last few cooks, it's a lot easier to work with!

Weber Mods, Tables and Customs / Re: Thermoworks Billows

Also if you have a summit or performer with gas assist you can use the gas tube to connect your billows.  Just need the universal adapter, a length of SS pipe and JB weld.  Works great and regulates the air coming through the gas tube.

@Bamakettles. Why did you use the gas tube instead of the port on the summit?

Because the summit gas tube sucks air anyway and this way I can control that.  When smoking on the summit (without a fan) I have to close the bottom vent all the way and the air intake through the gas assist tube is usually enough to keep it at 250F, closing the top lid about halfway.  Same exact setup with my performers and this solution solves that.

Interesting. I usually run with bottom set to the smoke icon and the top with about a 1/4" gap. I will try your method. I use the gas starter 99% of the time. So, it is impractical for me to connect the fan through the tube. Plus, I have used the fan maybe 3 times in the 4 or so years that I have had it. I only bought it so I could get some sleep at night for the occasional overnight cook. Thanks for the response.

How can I get an invite? I've been following this for years, back when Troy would put it on YouTube. I can pick a few to bring and could cook.

Have you tried contacting Craycort directly? They may still have some 26" replacement inserts available even if they're no longer listed on the website. It might also be worth checking eBay or contacting a few US BBQ/grill parts suppliers, as older Craycort inserts sometimes turn up there. Hope you manage to find one -that broken section would definitely be worth replacing.

Thanks for the reply, I did email Craycort but they didn't reply, you're right though, worth replacing as i don't really have use for a griddle on there, it's just better than looking at an empty section for now lol. I'll send a few more enquiries

Try calling Mjaik. I ordered griddle plates for the kamado during the 2024 black Friday sale. They sent the wrong ones and gave me an extended return period because I was dealing with very serious medical issues. They told me that they didn't have the inserts when I called about the return. They called and told me that they found some when I finally sent them back a few months later.

Broom handle should work, or just and bit of slightly curved ended wood that you can press against it

From experience, I would definitely push out from the inside yeah. Lay it on something soft like a pillow/rolled up groundsheet/cardboard.

 Don't hammer it- not even with a rubber mallet, just push it!
