New Eko Nozzil;will it fit?

barnartist · Jan 12, 2016

Im a gasser veteran, but have yet to replace my nozzil(s). Kntryhart posted a You Tube video around this but his new nozzil didn't fit. Has the company made the adjustments for proper fit yet? Anyone done this recently?
I also like the idea and video of using a piece of stainless steel for added protection and helping keep the bigger coals in the upper chamber longer. Im getting tons of coals and ash in my lower chamber each burn.

I replaced mine summer before last and neither one fit. Major pain grinding them down. I doubt they've updated them, since I think the Eko line is discontinued, at least in the U.S.

As I mentioned in another thread, I used a small wet saw to cut the nozzle - worked very well and I got a nice straight cut. You can often find the 4" wet saws on sale for a good price and it doesn't have to be great quality to make a few straight cuts. The hardest part is removing the old nozzle. Once the new nozzle is in, definitely get a plate over it. Mine has held up well and stops the erosion of the refractory.

I jacked my old nozzles out from the bottom with a hydraulic jack. Just take it slow and bang on the old nozzle(s) periodically to loosen them up as you go.
