Post by: Snyperx on December 23, 2016, 02:53:00 PM
Got my first kettle a few weeks back and added a hinge and wood handles. Looking good:

Excellent piece of hardware. Built really well. Was pretty simple to install.

Kind of pricey.  This is where I always hear of people getting them from.

dang......may have to figure out an alternative anyway.  my cart configuration would require me to mount the kettle end of the hinge on a flat horizontal surface behind the kettle in order to work.

Those are pricey. I thought the lid bale was pricey until I saw this.
