Can current model grills equip Wooden handles?
« on: May 22, 2016, 10:00:01 PM »
Simple question. I'm curious if I get a current model 22.5 if I can equip custom wooden handles, particularly the WKC handles!

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find any on the search feature of the site.

I just would enjoy customizing a current with the wood, if possible. :)

Epic! I'd hoped so! I'm getting a newer model, and I want to customize it, and have the WKC Wood showing!

@Titus IMO I'd hunt Craigslist for a model before the taco shell handle. You should be able to find one there cheaper.

They fit I do find they don't fit as securely on the newer models. More prone to the top and bottom separating from each other. I'm not a huge fan of the newer handle design...

I alter the design for newer style grills.  Just tell me if you have a new one and I make the small adjustments so they stay in place better.  No big deal.....

I did THIS to one of the newer kettles in my collection.  Works great.

I suppose glue would also work.  However, I did not want to go that route.

I have a copper 2014 and might need to do that to it if mine start to spin
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.
