Why are all the 22.5 taco handles turned the right way in Europe and the wrong way in the US? Thanks Weber, it's clear you don't like US!

I think what @TD might be talking about is the placement of the vent to the handle?
Late model premium grills ( 2 bowl handle + ash pan ) had the vent 90 den from the handle and MT grills had it moved to 180 deg with the thermometer on the other side.
I'm not sure about the years this was done here in Europe but I think it started around 2010-11 ?

You "could" say that with the vent and t-meter 90deg from each other and the indirect fire on the opposite side.. you might have a better temp reading away from the heart of the fire ?

This assumes that the $10 thermometer is laboratory quality and correctly calibrated . 

Now I'm confused .. I need another drink.

yes he means in the US the vent on the taco handle is positioned like a standard 18 is parallel and in euroup they are placed as a standard 22 vent is , in series with the handle

I know there are people here that wouldn't hesitate at a 620 mile round trip to score a kettle  8) ;D

I've done already 400 miles roundtrip twice to pick up a kettle but 600 is simply too much 😏
