Lid handle broke

[Lightning]

This happened to me two days ago when I lifted the lid off my black performer while cooking lunch.  The two spot welds that hold that end of the handle to the lid gave out under the weight of the lid. 



Are there any recommended repairs for this?  I've temporarily swapped the lid with the one from my black kettle that doesn't see use to get by.

Not that I know much about steel and metals in general but it looks like a clean break. Steel wool both sides and then re-weld it?

Clean off both sides and JB weld

How rotten is the rusty bit?

[LiquidOcelot]

stainless nut and bolt, little black touch up paint is the easy route unless you know someone with a welder

If I was in your shoes (which I am), I would try one of these first.

I was initially thinking resistance/spot weld it back in place or try jb weld.
