I just ordered three! One for the Performer Deluxe, and two for my 22.5" WSM :) Beautiful work by Zavod44!

Those are stunning @LightningBoldtz 

I love the colors in that wood, it reminds me a little bit of the colors in my GA handles









Looks like tasty nought

Got these from Brian. They are Osage orange. They really pop against my '14 Crimson OTG. Quick backstory, this kettle was a rush out to Ace Hardware and buy two years ago this week when the news broke of the lid handle change for 2015. I pulled a Troy and sacrificed grocery money to buy this. [emoji14]  I know some don't care for Crimson but I like this color and I actually like the matte finish on it. Fast forward to last month and Brian set me up with these handles. Thanks again, Brian!








These were taken when the grill was HOT so it's a little darker here. Yes in the tradition of the red kettle, crimsons darken when hot. When Crimson heats up, it resembles a 2000-01 plum kettle. I'll snap some cold pictures later.

Nice looking kettle there Craig. The handles really pop.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

8 MBH, 2 WoodDale, a SCG, and other stuff, including Pellet grills.

My Crimson performer has grown on me over the last year. Really like those handles. Great contrast.

African Leadwood on my Copper OTG. Wood is native from S. Africa to Tanzania.
Dropped some 1"x10" boards off with Brian during the Chicago meet-up. I happened upon the wood when a friend told he had some dense boards he was gonna throw in the fire. These things are like bricks!!!
Another fine @zavod44 production.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

You might wanna hit Brian up for a set. A little sweet talking (+ cash) & he might make you a set.
