Brian hooked me up with these gorgeous handles today, and I put them on my new to me 26 that I also picked up today.

Wow, that euc looks almost as nice as koa. What made you decide to get a new black model 26? They are really nice with all the extras. Now you can send me your red 26.

I wanted a 26 with the otg style ash can. I haven't been inspired to grill lately, and when landgraft offered to make a trade with his 26 for my lime green and my red smokey - it felt right so I jumped on it.

I plan to cook on it tomorrow! My first black grill!

Damn those handles turned out great! Glad I could help out with the grill...I'll be cleaning up the limey and red SJ today hopefully and get you some pics when I'm done.

Wow - they are nice. Enjoy the new grill. It is the grill that I use most of the time.

Great trade Troy. It's handles like these that really make we wish Weber offered the Ivory-colored grills here in the USA. That would be sweet.

You need to understand Troy is the "Don" around here.  He deserves "Respect".  I don't want to end up like Maury or Billy Bats.  Troy gets the nice stuff no questions asked.......When he says he needs handles, I ask how many.....

That is a nice handle. Seems this year a lot of us that started with colored kettles only are adding a black one here and there to the mix and vice versa. One question, how do you get the wood handles to not spin around on the newer elongated bowl handles?  ???  There's no nubs or notches to hold the top piece of the hanlde in place... :(

I noticed that. I don't have a solution yet though :(

Maybe we need to mount the older style handles with the two rivets and drill out the metal handle.  Or just tighten the screw....

Won't the two rivet screw right in to the nubless single screw handle?
