Will this ash catcher fit on a OTS or do I need to buy something else?

Would love to have an ash catcher for my OTS.  Will this work?

Or do I need something else?  Will that part fit?

Thanks.

How old is your OTS? I think that the very early One Touch kettles had a different vent shape than the newer ones and the ash ring/bucket doesn't cover all of it.
If yours is a later model that should work fine.
One of the experts will chime in soon with more details than I have. ;)

Check your leg sockets and see where the open notches are..
If they face towards the center, you should be fine.
I think they made OTG's in 05, so I am fairly confident the ring will just pop right in

Yep diff. Vent shape. I tried that swap, the older vent slots are longer.  8)

The One-Touch vents are longer on older 18s.
