Solving Da Gasser Code

[Golly]

base model had no ignigtor or tank scale

note:  1 bowl handle on TBS's redhead

I don't know if there was any consensus about the originality of the lid on G$'s gasser, but I bought it from him yesterday and this is what I found.



The handle is most assuredly off set as is the vent.





The difference is about an inch.

The speckled finish on the bowl and lid also match.

Yup!! The lid is definitely NOT a regular kettle lid!

Some of the pics in this thread are not showing up.

Were there electric kettles shown that had similar lids?

Just a point of reference, I have an older kettle gasser with the lid standoffs (no louvers)...

Something I noticed was that the flame goes out if there is no venting (my lid was received with the standoffs removed - why would someone to that!)

Anyway, I would assume that your vent would need to remain open for the fire to burn.

Just something I noticed, that's all.

My advice, get an original Weber wok and use it as a wok burner - works great
