Finally got a 26" Flat top, now I need your help...

I ordered a couple of ash pans from ereplacementparts and they are bigger than the 22"s . Check this thread

Tattoo....Jude is on to something here.  Those legs/wheels look to be in good shape so you may want to try them first.  If they are loose in the socket, you could try the copper tubing inside the leg method to tighten them up.

Yeah, I agree. I'll just pick up a new triangle, the legs and wheels were fine.

Here is the 26" ashpan next to a 22" ashpan. The 26er is about 3/4" larger in diameter.


And inside the other

Be aware, the current triangle sold by Weber and ereplacementparts is for the new style 26 OTG.  It will not fit the old style 26.  Its best to reuse that as well.  Give some coarse steel wool a shot.  If its down to bare metal, Ive used some chrome spray paint to bring it back to life.
