Internal ash catcher experiment

[Craig]

Recently I picked up an Happy Cooker internal ash catcher compliments of Buckie (Thanks, Ken! .  I am in love with it and have been wanting to see how it works with my 26". I set it in the bottom of the bowl and there's just enough contour in the pan and space between it and the daisy wheels that it worked. I tested it last Friday for wing and pigs in a blanket night. Has anyone else with an older 26 and an HC pan tried this? I thought it worked out great!

The internal ash catcher is such a great idea I am surprised weber didn't try to use it..

Great idea craig.  I like the internal pan so much that I might even try to use it on my OTs (by adding a few supports to it)

Awesome! 

I need one of those so that I don't set my wooden deck on fire using the Westerner.

Great idea (and awesome looking 26 Craig)!

G$, Thanks You'll have to keep us posted on how you do the supports for the pan. 

Winz, Thanks! Decks are the one thing that would make me slightly squeamish about using a daisy kettle but I think that this pan is the ticket!

Couldn't you just take a new Weber ash pan and drill it and put a couple of long screws and make a spacer and set that in the bottom of the grill?  I'll try it this weekend....

 You could, but that's aluminum......those Happy Cooker ones are thicker than the wall of a Weber & totally coated in thick porcelain............

..........but, you wouldn't maybe know that, 'cause IT'S A HAPPY COOKER THING !!!!!!

What buckie said.

Hot coal on a HC ash pan gives me no worry.  Hot Coal on aluminum may eventually 'melt' it.
