I have 2 on my OTG that I would gladly trade with your wooden OEM or Zavod's handles.

gross....what if someone made a wood version....

Are we taking a matching top handle too or something similar to the wood handles of old, but wit h a place to hang a tool?

I would totally try to mooch some off a guy.. Errr, I would promise to send him something in trade
But I wouldn't know what a guy like that wants or needs?

I like the way some grills look with them sometimes, but the wood is definitely better.

What kind of kettle is that?  With the heat guard below the handle on the lid, what looks like a lid holder on the back side of the bowl and those wheels.....is this a European Master Touch?  The new OTG kettles I see in Canada for 2014 have none of those three things as I recall.

The heat sheild under the handle is something I have seen only on the new 2014 26.75 Kettles.  Am I correct here.  Somebody straighten me out.

I like the new tool hanging feature on the new handles as well but I'd take a non-hanging woody any day.....does that sound wrong?

I really dislike the new handles with the heat shield. I see as how it is more practical because you can replace the whole thing easier as compared to replacing a handle that was welded on, but it's not asthetically pleasing to the eye. Anyone else with me?

Look, who are we kidding here?  The thermo plastic type handles look like shit.  We all know it and that's why so many grills on this site get a retrofit with the wooden handles or replacement of the worn wooden handles.   ;)

The fireplace handles will bolt on and take a standard handle

I am confused as to how that has anything to do with what I stated previously?

That grill is an exclusive of a local shop in San Jose.. Note the custom painted Ash Bowl..
If I owned a bridge in Chicago, would you guys be interested in buying it ?  ;) 8)

That sweet blue custom is probably the only one I like with the modern euro handles. I will say as plastic handles go, I prefer the post 2011 dark grey shaped ones over the white humpbacks ten fold but at the end of the day, Its wood for the win!
