All Texas Original Pits n Smokers already have these stainless steel springs as handles, but they are great to replace worn-out/rusted handles on other bbq smoker pits or when building a custom barbecue pit .  You can even add a stainless steel spring to a firebox door handle or the vertical chamber door by using a push nut cap. These stainless steel springs are constructed of Type 302 stainless steel wire and measure 4 1/2" in length. These stainless steel springs are clean and ready to use "as is". They look good and do not require a tedious polishing with cleaning compounds to remove the chalky anti-sieze agent used in the manufacturing process.   Examples of  possible uses of a stainless spring with a push nut cap are shown here:
