tony b Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 I use a goose-neck one with a bunch of LED bulbs in it. It clamps on my deck rail right next to the KK. Only problem has become the goose neck is getting sloppy and won't hold its position as well as when it was younger (Insert Viagra joke here!) http://www.amazon.com/Designers-Edge-L-872-24-LED-Barbecue/dp/B001EXRG4K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419870639&sr=8-2&keywords=flexible+bbq+lamp I also have a headband one from Eddie Bauer that works well, too. Doesn't put out quite as much light as the goose neck, but has the advantage of pointing right where I'm looking. http://www.eddiebauer.com/product/50-lumen-headlamp/82203534/_/A-ebSku_0223534100__82203534_catalog10002_en__US?showProducts=111&backToCat=&previousPage=SRC&tab=&color=100
wilburpan Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 I’d avoid a handle-mounted light, mainly because if the lid is up, the light will be directly exposed to the heat from the grill, which can be problematic if you’re searing something. The fact that last night I found out the hard way how hot the handle can get when putting a sear on a prime rib roast with the lid up has nothing to do with this suggestion.

Been there, done that! My episode was caused from the heat off the chimney charcoal starter. Another life lesson learned the hard way!
