Daisy Wheel Handle Missing
ForwardAssist
Posts: 21
I purchased my Egg from an Authorized Dealer, but it was "used" and missing the handle from the daisy wheel. I emailed BGE, but they don't offer a replacement handle. Anyone know where I can get one. I know I could probably fashion one from a coat hanger, but I'd prefer to stay OEM if possible. Thanks!

If you want OEM you will need to get the entire DFMT. I would buy some stainless wire and loop it through the ends and twist them off to create a handle. Or, just get a Smokeware cap and be done with it. There may be some guys here thet aren't using theirs and will just give you their handle?

Where are you located? Might help getting someone local.

Google metal teapot handles.

They work fine without handles. The older version never had a handle.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
My dealer says he sells several Daisy Wheels every year ... they break when dropped just right. He might save the pieces for you or put you in touch with the last person he sold one to.

Get a coat hanger and make a handle. Once they overturn Roe vs Wade, there will be a great deal of people experienced with coat hangers.

Just go buy the Chimney cap. Which part do you actually need? Since I am not using the Daisy Wheel anymore I can see what shipping it up to you costs.Jacksonville, FL

You do understand the Daisy Wheel is not needed. 4 Eggs and zero Daisy WheelsSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

I just wanted the little wire handle. I want to remove the cap when it's hot and put it on the grill to help keep it clean.golfguyjosh said:Just go buy the Chimney cap. Which part do you actually need? Since I am not using the Daisy Wheel anymore I can see what shipping it up to you costs. -

Should we turn this into a forum about our personal views on abortion? I didn't think that's what it was about, but I am happy to change the direction of my posts if others feel a need to use the forum to express their views.golfguyjosh said:

Buy an 8" fishing leader, steel cable, loop it through one end and snap it on the other.___________

@nolaegghead - thanks for the follow-up comment. Looking forward to more great cooking pics and info from you.New Orleans LA

I've seen a lot of BGEs with the Chimney Tops. I've been controlling temp by adjusting the daisy wheel and the bottom vent (mostly bottom) but is it just as easy to control with the chimney? I don't see how I could keep the temp low (~225) without the daisy wheel.
