MORE UPDATES - Wow! New flat top 26. What do I do?

[bear]

It's purpose, it's destiny, is to cook. Not to fulfill it's destiny would be illogical.

Definitely cook. It'll make ya smile when you fire her up. Hell, invite friends over, fire up the flattop and ice down the other for beers

What MrHoss said. If you have the space and don't need the $ then keep both is the best answer.

So with regard to space, my wife is starting to notice.  So space is becoming an issue.

With regard to money, I could use the money.  This was a bit of an impulse buy.

Quick question to anyone who knows.  I thought I've heard that the grate size is different for the flat tops.  Is that the case?

Thanks.

Yes, they are slightly smaller than the newer version. I believe just under 25" for the flat top cook grate. Not sure what the newer 26r cook grate measures....

I can think of a landing place for the new one if you decide to part with it.  😎

I agree with Hoss and kettlebb and say keep both. They are both different kettles. But if I was in your situation, I'd take the flat top and sell the new 26er. If you ever regretted selling and wanted it back.... always easier to get another new 26er than the other way around.  Besides, as much as I love to have a new 26er, given a choice I would prefer to own and cook on the flat top more.

Keep the flattop. Its easy to get a new one, hard to find a great classic, especially NIB

That's a SHARP black flat top! The old style Master Touch ash can and bar can be retrofitted to those if I recall. Congratulations!

Pure awesomeness!  Are you going to put a little Tung Oil on the handles?  it's so easy to apply with a rag.

I actually hadn't considered that.  I was thinking of putting on some Zav handles, but maybe I should keep the originals.

Not to take away from Brian's thing but it would literally take you 5 minutes to apply.

Pure beauty.

[Travis]

+1 on keeping the handles original. They are..well, original!

That flattop is fantastic, I would keep it. Both of you can.
