Title: Quick and easy Gas Assist template
Post by: VetteDoc on June 22, 2020, 05:15:00 AM

I added gas assist to a kettle I put together for my Dad for Fathers Day and thought I would share the template that I made up.

This template is to be printed on standard 8 1/2 x 11 printer paper.

To line things up, print out the template, then fold the paper in half lengthwise - I measured 13 3/4" from the ends of the bowl mounts to center the template - mark that point and line up the fold in the template to that mark.

The template is made so the edge of the paper sits in the rolled edge of the bowl - set it down and mark you holes.

Hope this helps someone trying to add gas assist.

I just installed a gas assist on a new bowl that I placed on a Gen II frame. No need to try & cut that oblong hole if you take apart the burner assembly, then you can thread from the inside of the grill. I measured 8.5" down from the top of the bowl, & used a step drill to make a round hole.
