Last year I was looking for a roller catch for my ashpan as the rollers on mine had crumbled over time (3 years).

Quad dealers want $40+ for a pair. (Please note I'm not blaming them, I know they don't come cheap from quad, and dealers are most certainly entitled to their markup.

I'm happy to report I found a cheaper version. Just google
"Amerock 143 Allison" and you should find them available for a couple dollars online.

While they are not heat rated, they have worked fine on my stove. I put an oven thermometer probe on the ash pan near the catch with the alarm temp set at 175F. The alarm never went off. You may want to do the same. Keep in mind this has worked for me. If you decide to give it a try keep an eye on them for melting. Your mileage may vary.

Nice find. Keep us posted on how long they are lasting, and if you have run on high or not. Kap

They now use a catch called a twin ball catch. Not cheap ($40 each) but they are all metal and as far as I can see would never need to be replaced again.

Thnaks for posting this!
