performer ash catchers

[Jules V.]

I prefer the look and built quality of the squeeze- on ash catcher  but find the older type to be easier to use but with a catch. The ash catcher that weber used just before the transition to the current ones are of lower quality than the older versions. The ring and ash pan were flimsier and therefore easily prone to being bent out of shape. Also  on the older version, the ring is slightly larger in relative to the ash pan making it much easier to install/ remove. 
If using a kettle with a table, try installing the handle under the bale side.  All 7 of my grills are performers  and i have the ash catchers installed as such. I find it much easier to manipulate.

That makes so much sense!  Half the time I have to take some baskets or other grilling accessories out from under my performers so I can get the ash pan in and out.

I'm short but it makes it easier especially for taller people. You also gain storage space underneath.

I have had both types and ended up putting my 2011 twister onto my new 2015 MT. I like the black pan with flat bottom and the twist works for me.

I prefer the older as well.  Do the newer ones loosen up a bit and break in?  I would think those with arthritis would have a tough time to squeeze.

I hate the new squeeze style
