OT: For the 22 Kettleheads, Dragon Wings

Focker

Picked up a pair at Target using Code HOME for 15% off, with tax and free shipping, OTD for $45.  Plan on using one for each OTG kettle.  One could easily find an item to total $35 for free shipping on one dragon wing.

I like this!

Can you put the lid on with those attached to the side?

Me too.  I keep all of my nonegg grills, smokers, in vinyl storage sheds without covers, so stowing the tables in the grill, or shed, or deck box dedicated to accessories, will be handy.

Yes.

I don't see the fit being an issue at all.
Here is a longer review.

I like 'em.

So when is a 26.75 going to make an appearance in the family pic?

Figures I just deleted their sale email. Oops.

I should have asked the more elaborate question - do they affect the airtightness of the seal between the lid and base?

If I was just grilling burgers or chicken wings the seal would be no big deal but if I am firing up the SnS and doing a pork butt or two any air gap might make getting stable temps a bit of a pain.

The video indicates that keeping a tight seal might be a problem.

Thanks!

I'm thinking my next kettle toy might be one of these - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weber-barbecue-22-inch-Santa-Maria-style-attachment-accessories-adjustable-grate/131842374077?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIM.MBE&ao=2&asc=41376&meid=6dc43c90d95d4d6695dc5ac21dc44f2f&pid=100005&rk=4&rkt=6&sd=142392927348

A friend of mine got one a month or so ago and has been having fun cooking santa maria style with open fire on his kettle.



EDIT - went ahead and ordered a pair. Will be handy when doing wings which is about all I use my kettle for 95% of the time and lid/base seal is unimportant for that.

They recommend installing them over a leg.

@Focker - is the same shelf offered on the BBQ Dragon site? seems it is <$30 with free shipping if I read it right. I use my old 22" as a place to hold the 12" Camp oven. Would be nice to have a shelf on it. Thanks for the info.

I don't have the SnS, and use the snake method, I'm not worried about it, the kettles are leaky to begin with.

Glad you got a pair.

Yes it is, $30, with 10% off if you give them your addy.  Target seemed like the best deal, $24.95 with 15% off.

I would really love one, 4" is a uuge deal, but I paid a total of $30 for the 2 OTGs.

I sift CL occasionally, ya never know....

The SM attachment looks solid btw, and worthy of the $210 pricetag.

Double Dragon Wing Ding!

Tight fit @HeavyG, no worries.

Focker

Found a small dent, wing still functional.

Sent an email to BBQ Dragon CS, to see what they could do.

Didn't hear back, but had another wing on my doorstep 3 days later.  

Wanted to pass this good CS experience along.

I may need to find another kettle now, a redhead would be cool with wings.
