Solving Da Gasser Code

[G$]

Vented

Where?

[G$]

This is the gasser in question. 


And here is the F code 1984 daisy wheel vent.....


Interesting huh?   Have you ever seen a non F code gasser with a daisy vent?   Do you think the last gassers sold had normal lids to avoid a special lid production run for few sold at the end?

[dazzo]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm sure they will), but that's not the original lid.

That year should have the louvers (4) around the edge.

Is this yours G$ ?

Do you think the last gassers sold had normal lids to avoid a special lid production run for few sold at the end?

Although, you never know with the way Weber thinks sometimes.

[G$]

Dazzo now you see why I am asking the question.

I believe the lid is original. I will be having a closer look Friday.

[dazzo]

Yeah, and all my lids fit the gasser just fine too.

I still say it's wrong.   

Hey, let's call Weber support and ask them.   

[jcnaz]

Hmmmmm.
Very interesting!

[Hogsy]

Nice find G$
That's a first for me and I'm tending to think its the wrong lid too
The gasser lids also had higher lid handles and I believe the louvered vents were to prevent a build up of volatile gasses under the lid
Anyone have an 84 or 85 catalogue?

[G$]

Hogsy, I have not seen an 84 catalog, but I think the manual that you posted in this thread was revised from 1984 and it 'shows' the louvered lid.

[jcnaz]

Hey G$, not to muddy the waters any further...

Oh Hell, who am I kiddin', let's muddy it up!
The first pic is my DU 22.5 lid with a centered top handle.

Next up is my AT 22.5 lid with a centered top handle.

And finally, the F'er .

Handle is offset by about an inch and a half...

[dazzo]

And he's got a daisy wheel vent lid sitting on his gasser too!

[G$]

Now I see what you mean JC.  That definitely looks "off set".  I am more inclined to believe this is possibly the original lid.   

[jcnaz]

I know that this pic shows a MBH,

But it IS a daisy wheel vent on a gas kettle that I found at webernation.
The handle appears offset to me also.

[MaxBobcat]

is there any way to know that the above pic is not an electric kettle?

I've never seen either of them up close, so I don't know what the buttons on the front do.

kind of looks like a cord coming out the front, like in this pic...hard to tell though cuz its dark

[G$]

i think the yellow is electric JC.

[jcnaz]

Yes I think that it is too.
