David Chang Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 this is a 19 TT charcoal splitter mod for vertical and horizontal splits. this is simply welding 304 ss hooks on the top of the splitter plate and grinding out grooves for the cover plate to sit in the horizontal position. the vertical split is not compromised. the hooks are placed in a 30/70 position but 40/60 or 50/50 splits can be achieved, but only held by one hook. so the same equipment is now modded to place rotisserie charcoal parallel but away from the meat as well as low n slow in the vertical position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Bill Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Will there be a big gap bottom right when used horizontal ? Could a secondary plate be fashioned to cover that gap when used in that configuration ? Edited March 16, 2022 by C6Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Chang Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 well, i spoke too soon. it looked good in the office. but when i took it home, i didn’t consider that the fire ring gives me no clearance for the cover plate. part of the edge is too long to rest on the basket evenly. its not a total fail, i think it still works. but in the horizontal position, i would need to fashion a new cover plate or make a foil drip tray as shown… in the 30/70 position, the cover plate needs to be grinded slightly to sit properly. in the 50/50 position, it sits ok. unfortunately i cant bring the grill to the machinist to test out. i’m going to run a small pork butt tomorrow, see how it goes in the 30/70 position. curious to know if that little charcoal will last a hot and fast cook with no refill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Bill Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Blocking it with foil as shown in the latest pics should get the job done 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
