@pbe gummi bear .  Not sure if you were implying, but there was no permanent modification done with the above kettle.
That is an original ash ring from a 1996 MT rescue.  Used an ash bar supplied from @zavod44 to get it done.

I was totally implying that you hacked up the underside of that kettle and ruined it's value forever.  :P Jk, I know you know better than that. Hell, your posts about it are part of my OTG upgrade article! The comment was more for people that want to add the bucket and don't know there are ways to do it w/o permanent modification.

You may have mis-remembered …. Or, were thinking of the other 2 redheads that I hacked up ….
No problem, dude.  I dish it out …. I can definitely take it.  No feelings hurt here.   ;) ;D ;) ;)
Q: How do you know something is bull$h!t?

Like MacEggs, I converted a 1990 OTP to a MT by adding the ash catcher.  It was for convenience as I was planning and still do use it as one of my daily cooking kettles.  Also added a couple of Zav handles. @Speedster- I think you will find quite a few members have upgraded their cookers with ash catchers for their ease of use and convenience.

Blah blah blah... bullshit.

It it so simple.  Make a grill like you want.... or buy a grill like you want. At the end of the day, you are the one cooking on this thing.  Do you like the higher legs of the mastertouch?, do you like the colour of the copper or whatever of the premium kettle?

Really... in the end, it's all about you. That's it. No more! No less...  If you're happy with black... go for it
