Lid T2. Flat cover for the grill head, 2 x 38 x 38 cm.
The T2 lid is a flat stainless steel cover for the Thüros T2, protecting the grill from rain and dirt and extinguishing residual embers. Not a hood, not a cooking attachment, not an accessory for indirect grilling.
The T2 lid measures 2 x 38 x 38 cm and fits exclusively the small T2. A grill on a balcony is rarely under a roof. What rains in overnight is what you find when you light it next time. The lid covers the grill head when it is not in use.
What the lid does
The lid lies flat on the grill head and seals it from above. It keeps rain, leaves, and dust out of the charcoal tray.
The second benefit is often overlooked: when placed on top, it extinguishes residual embers after grilling. Without oxygen, the charcoal goes out instead of smoldering for hours. This saves charcoal for the next evening and makes the grill quicker to transport.
No cooking under this lid
The lid lies flat; it does not dome. This means there is no space for heat to circulate.
It is not suitable for indirect grilling, baking, or smoking – for that, there is the barbecue hood with its dome shape and thermometer. The lid is a cover, not a cooking tool. Anyone who confuses the two will be disappointed.
Stainless steel V2A, easy to store flat
Made from non-magnetic V2A stainless steel, the same material as the grill. It will not rust, even if it lies in the rain for months.
With a height of two to three centimeters, it can be stored flat against a wall or slid under the grill. For the winter break, this is the practical difference compared to a hood, which takes up space.
For grills that stay outside
The lid is worthwhile for anyone whose grill doesn't go into the cellar after every use. If you put it away anyway, you hardly need it.
One limitation: The lid protects from above, not from the side. In case of driving rain or snow, a complete protective cover is the better choice. For everyday use between two barbecue evenings, it is sufficient.
A covered grill is simply lit next time.
