Dude! Condiment rack and old school teak work table that attaches to the leg! I've taken to hitting every old/family/small town hardware store I see looking for these gems.

Are those charcoal rails hung from the bowl of the kettle?

Troy I missed the heading and only saw the picture, I didn't know charcoal rails could be used like that.

Never considered those charcoal rails in that way, interesting. So are they actually current, or ancient? I never could understand. I know the "other" ones, with "curved wires," aren't current.

These could totally be used to hoist an 18" grate above the 22" grate... A pair of these came with my 18" OTG and my mind is blown on the extra versatility of them.

You can also use them to raise a second charcoal grate up above the standard one.  Really nice for putting a serious sear on fish, burgers, or steaks.

Never knew they were tool holders, though.

Tried them that way, worked well, until...accidentally bumped it from the wrong side......unfortunate, but yes......'Turds do roll downhill....... :o :o


I could try again, but a bad experience as a child sticks with ya...... 8)

A couple twists with a few pieces of bailing wire could have saved all those turds from a fiery demise! But anyway, good point, they hold ok but aren't rock solid so an additional support is probably a good idea.

I saw that grill on my local craigslist. I think they were advertized as book holders in the ad. LOL.
