Post by: Weber MD on September 29, 2013, 11:25:32 AM: Thanks mrbill. Weber discontinued this product. I really don't understand their reasoning for discontinuing some of the products they do. Amazon has a few.

In my opinion, no. It's quite a loose fit. Much more loose than the lid-holders on a Master-Touch or a Performer, not to mention the bars it's made of are rounded rather than the bar-stock the other lid holder is made of.

I'd give it two thumbs up! (Unless you're cooking 'low-and-slow', then mine gets tossed in the grass as it lifts the lid a bit and messes with my vent-setting-mo-jo!) LOL :P

as long as you're not slamming it around, you'll be fine. just a slight lift, then a gentle roll over and it's done.

Title: Re: Weber Slide-Aside
Post by: Weber MD on October 01, 2013, 07:42:04 AM: I ordered two of them since they are discontinued. I'll probably later regret that I didn't get five of them.

Post by: wryt01 on October 01, 2013, 05:17:15 PM: You guys always seem to point out more "must haves"... Just ordered one.

Post by: salad on October 01, 2013, 09:30:32 PM: ^I know! I don't even own a kettle and for some reason I feel compelled to order one. I mean, right now I only have a SS Performer but I KNOW I'll own a stand alone kettle soon. Jesus. Lol, Weberitis, in deed.

These two images show the problem I had with this attachment. Image #635 showed what happened before I "fixed" it. Image #640 shows the fix. Once I fixed the problem there was no longer a problem

interesting. is that the slide aside, or the lid bail system on the performers/new 26/mastertouch ?
Title: Re: Weber Slide-Aside
Post by: salad on October 02, 2013, 10:37:59 AM: The slide-aside is curved round stock, no flat pieces. That looks like the bail set up and not a slide-aside.

Post by: Eapples on October 02, 2013, 11:09:39 AM: It looked the same to me. That's why I posted the photos. I apologize if it was a mistake.

Post by: Weber MD on October 02, 2013, 11:36:54 AM: Got my slide-asides today. I like that you can still use the grill cover with it on the kettle.

What do you think? Do you like it?
Title: Re: Weber Slide-Aside
Post by: wryt01 on October 05, 2013, 01:48:37 PM: I'm up at my parents. So I don't have access to a grill for a fit, but it looks well built.
