Love my Vortex also. I would suggest putting a stainless steel acorn nut on tat bolt coming out because chances are it’s going to rust. Whenever I rebuild a grill I always put stainless steel bolts, washers, and acorn nuts when I can. That way you get no rust.

Great suggestion! I'll look into it. Appreciate the info.

New gasket installed. Should have done it before its first use, but cleaned it up really good before applying. Happy with the fitment.

Ordered it off Amazon, but sold by LavaLock. Have used it before on my offset smoker and has held up pretty well. Link below

How is the Lavalock holding up so far?  I was wondering if the adhesive would start letting go over time.

I installed the same Lavalock gasket on my 22" in July, and it's held up just fine. The real test will be over the winter (I live near Chicago).

Cleaned up the kettle today to her rid of some of the heavy build up. Also ordered a set up wood handles from Grillhandle.com and will update the thread when it comes in.

New Grill Handles came into and couldn't be happier with how they look on the copper turd. Thank you again Brandon, the quality and look is amazing.
