Wooden Lid Bale Rollers

[MacEggs]

@MacEggs Looks classy, especially if the handles match. Did you make them or is it a miscellaneous piece of something? Reminds me of an old bathroom faucet handle

I do believe the handles match.  I had these lid bale rollers custom made by a gentleman who makes custom spice grinders.
I requested him to make some, and he used sugar maple.  The above pic is from @MrHoss 's M/T. 

I currently do not have a M/T, but am looking for a cheap OTS to convert, as I have all the parts for a conversion.

Nice. I took the melted plastic ones off my kettle that is dedicated for the kettlepizza. Would love to see some heat resistant ones made out of wood.

I can't see having any issues with the wood.  These were made from sugar maple - a nice hardwood.

Yep. This was the thread I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

I can make these rollers if you need them.  Send me a note and I can help you out.....plus I can match the wood to your handle

Alright, I have had these wooden lid bale rollers on my new-to-me lime green performer for a few weeks now.  Done maybe 4-5 cooks on it so far.








I decided to do a good test on them.  Some high-heat chicken wings. 
Two charcoal baskets located close to each of the wooden lid bale rollers.








I gotta say ... I am very impressed. 

Sure, the wood got very hot to the touch, but I was never concerned that they would "burst" into flames.

If anyone is considering this, I recommend it.  Whether it be for a Performer or a MasterTouch.

A good hardwood would be my preference.  Mine don't match the handle, but that is not a deal-breaker for me.
