Search "petcock" and "Smoker" as the author.

I haven't seen anyone else do it.

Price sounds good to me. The Pingle Guzzler and adapter I bought were over $200. Not to mention what I spent on the one-off knob setup.

If you look on Ebay, there are many Pingel petcocks that sell for a higher price.

You don't have to go with the #1 company out there. There are other companies that make much cheaper parts.
