This may be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s been reported by WKC member SixFourZero that Weber has indeed moved away from welding on the lid handle.
It has been replaced with a bolt on version.
This is the biggest design change we’ve EVER seen to the iconic Weber kettle grill.
Just a bunch of holes.
I’m sure there is manufacturing advantages to this, as well as shipping advantages.
European kettles have been like this for a number of years. Has Weber done field and durability testing on this?
How do you feel about this significant change?
