Weber 1201 Tool Holder

The tool holder works well. There is a little leakage of smoke, but I don't think this reduces the quality of food preparation or changes the temperature of the grill. The tool holder ships from a company other than Amazon, and the shipping/handling costs are more than the holder.

What more might one need to know?

Eh -- Here's the thing. It's only useful if you've also got the typical BBQ tools that have a loop on the handle. Their all kind of bunched together. Still, it works, and I guess I like it, but it's not as handy as a whole new table on the side. (Not that I have the room for that table, which is why I have a little thing with 4 hooks instead.)

If you are a good griller and put the cover on religiously, you'll probably need to remove the holder (lest it get in your way while trying to maneuver the canvas cover down). No biggie -- Just slip it inside onto the grill grate.

Note also that really long tools on a smaller Weber kettle (the 18 1/2 incher for example) might be dragging on the deck below. (And, don't bother with your Smokey Joe!)

If you bend the clips on this rack, it fits on the grill very well. The lid of the grill will close, but it doesn't close as well as before. When you close the lid, you will see smoke leaking out of the side of the grill. I didn't notice any problems with utensils heating up. It's a cheap little utensil rack that can be useful.

The holder gets in the way of the lid's lip when you try to put the lid back on - as a result the lid no longer slips into place with this holder attached. Also, the holder doesn't clip onto the kettle's edge too snugly (when you do finally get the lid pushed into place) so the holder can easily become dislodged by picking up the lid. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do.

(It's obvious the original engineers who created the grill didn't have this accessory in mind in the final design!)

Quality material, and well finished. It adapted easily to my drum style smoker, and will hold just about anything I choose to hang on it, shy of my truck.
