Round n Round

I have been going around and around with Weber CS.  Not an unpleasant experience what so ever.  I had a question.  And this was it....

I have a EE Code SSP with Gas Assist.  I would like to replace the Lid bale with a bale from a Master Touch.  I want the extra lid room.  Can I have the Part number and how much will it cost?

They (CS) asked me for the SN.  I sent them the one that is under the igniter panel.  Its the only one I can find on the cooker.  They want me to send photos of the cooker.  I don't know why... 

Will the MT lid bale fit the SSP 22.5 Kettle?

Thats all I wanted to know.  Now I have to do the stupid human tricks just to get a price!

So...

Will the MT lid bale fit the SSP 22.5 Kettle?

Thanks fellers....

I checked ereplacementparts, but they don't have the newer MT, or gen4 Performer listed, to grab part numbers.  Your best bet is to call Weber CS around 8:00pm (central). If you have an issue with the rep needing a SN, ask for someone else who knows how to use the system for ordering by part number. They should know how to pull a parts list & order from it.

I'm beginning to wonder if Weber is farming out their CS to Illinois Dept. of Corrections call center.

Finally received an email.  Parts from a new MT will not work on an older kettle....  so they say...  oh well....

I have a 2015 performer Lid bale on a 1996 SSP...I'll try to find the part #....it will work and Weber will sell it to you.
Lid stands at a 90 degree angle..

The new lid bail for the Performer works on the older Performers as a few have done so.  I don't have the number for the Performer lid bail but i do remember a thread about it some time back, maybe do a search here for that thread?  As for the MT lid bail being different i don't know, but i would think so from a manufacturing stand point it would make sense to have one jig to drill holes for lid bales and a standard bail.

As for CS if you get someone who refuses to sell a part for the "wrong" grill or who hasn't a clue, thank them for there time and hang up and either call back after a few minutes or call a few days or so and talk to some one new.

Just call with the part # you need in hand. These threads have all the information you need.
