18" Redhead "G" transforms into OTG Spot!
« on: November 13, 2014, 05:03:59 PM »
I picked this little Red "G" up during the Summer and its been on the backburner awaiting some attention. Missing the ash pan and the sweeps were toast.

Pre rehab with Cajun Bandit Reversible Rotisserie ring.





Found a couple old ash pans and buffed them up.



Added a stainless steel cook grate and some charcoal rails and installed the new One Touch sweeps.



I was waiting on some replacement handles and kind of sitting back and pondering pulling the trigger on an OTG ash catcher assembly, when this showed up on craigslist for $20.



An "AU" 18" OTG donor kettle.

Stay tuned...........

OK - well the OTG Ash can assembly swap went more seamless than I would have imagined. I thought for sure I'd have to drill into the leg sockets, but instead was able to use a pair of tin snips to remove @ 1/4" of one of the tabs and it fits like downtown!

I never realized there was an SS grate available in the smaller size. My Google-fu is weak today.
