Slide aside vs lid bale

[pbe gummi bear]

As far as putting the lid bale between the handles, I think it's weird and I wouldn't do it.  Again that's just me.  I am a little particular, but it could certainly be done....

This is the way I am leaning too.

The thing about finding an OTS instead of an OTG is that, in the used market the prices are actually nearly ifdentical, but woith the OTG you do not need to fiddle with finding a donor ash ring and pan.  Not a deal breaker of course - just eliminates a step.

You will apreciate that I am lookign for a blue Master Touch, and struggling to find one, so trying to keep my options open.

Aren't all blue 22's OTG? In any case, you can just buy both grills and sell the leftover bits as a complete kettle. Good luck on your search

Depends on the year.
