All my usual local haunts for basic Weber replacement parts have failed me miserably this past week.

ALL I WANT IS A STEENKING LID HANDLE!!!

Today I took an out of the way drive to one of the Do-It Centers that has been a reliable year-round source for all things BBQ, great supply of Lump, Royal Oak Briqs, WEBER parts etc. etc. and even they didn't have any!

And the recurring theme I'm hearing at every Lowes, ACE Hardware, Home Depot, True Value and now my trusted Do It Center is "you'll have to call Weber". "We only can sell "accessories" and not replacement parts.

" WTF I ask, aren't grates replacement parts? I NEED A @#%*! LID HANDLE!! NOW!!" (I'm sorry sir, you're scaring the children)  "We can only sell what Weber allows us, and we have a great assortment of "accessories" but sorry - no handles".

I ordered some from Firecraft late last year and they were on backorder for 6 weeks+ didn't make sense at the time.

Rant over!

Today wasn't a complete bust - I did pick these hubcaps up (3 pack??) for $.65 each!



They always come in handy!


YMMV just sayin'!
I cook on: Backwoods Gater, Lang 36, Hunsaker Smokers, Pellet Pro 22" WSM, BGE's, WSM's, Cajun Bandits, PK Grills, Drum Smokers, Genesis Silver C, Weber Q's, Cookshack 008, Little Chief, La Caja China #2, Lodge Sportsman...oh yeah! Weber Kettles! Kamado restoration and pit modification hack!

Bearded guy...in a hoodie....with a cardboard sign, something about "Hot & Fast".....hollering about "Gimme Some Handle !!!!"



I'd be scared if I was a little kid...... :o

Somebody send this man a handle.....I know they're out there....way too many have been replaced by Brian's !!!!!

Plan was to sell for cash and get a wooden handle instead.
