The new wooden handle for the mini/small/medium will fit the older Large Egg (just installed one).
Looks better and only ~$15 from a BGE dealer.

I did hear that from my dealer but he said he wasn't sure. You have made it fact. Thanks man!!!!

Need help with new handles for XL and L

Posts: 964
You can make fun of me if you want to, wife always does, but I need to replace the wood handles on my XL and L, both predate 2010 and look to be the same size. Just looking for some advice. I searched threads here and didn't really locate much as the word "handle" is used in association with everything but the handle I need.
Appreciate the help, and thanks.

I am assuming that you have the smaller handles that are about 6inches across?
They do have replacement handles for them, call over to Roswell Hardware and see if they have the smaller handles. I know they have the larger ones....

How about a custom made handle? Alot of us around here have them. Check out this site and it will give you some ideas, mine is even pictured there. I'm not sure if Danny is still making them, but maybe someone else will chime in and point you in the right direction if you want a custom one.

Roswell ain't got em and neither does Buford, both said they aren't made anymore. I could replace the bands on both for about $325 total..... ya, no. Buford ACE said he thinks the new small will fit the old L and XL. Thankfully i have a small to do that comparison at home but I think I would have noticed that.DaveRichardson said:I am assuming that you have the smaller handles that are about 6inches across?

Use the handles you have as a template and make some yourself. I recently did this for an older egg that I rehabbed and it was quite easy. I believe the handles are 3.5" or 4" long and about 3/4" thick. You just need to counter sink the holes for the bolts and apply liberal amounts of sealant and you'll be good to go.Formerly of Houston, TX - Now Located in Bastrop, TX

Are you sure? Older large egg handles look like this:Tony_T said:The new wooden handle for the mini/small/medium will fit the older Large Egg (just installed one).

Or maybe I should call this an ancient egg?

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. -
That's pretty bada$$ nola. Gotta admit though, I haven't got the woodworking tools that you do. I'm more like Anthony Michael Hall in that my elephant lamp didn't light up in shop class.nolaegghead said:

Yes, but not the one for the new Large Egg.
Need to get the one that's listed for new a mini/small/medium for the old large.
Just installed one for my nephew. (need to screw the new one on from the back — and I was able to do it without removing the metal handle from the band) -
