I was thinking about this the other day. My neighbor was looking to get a new gas bbq and being over he asked me what do I think he should buy. He's not a charcoal guy (yet) so I said he should get a Weber. He asked why, so I told him that my kettle lid was getting discolored and I sent Weber an email to find out what type of paint they use. They responded back within a few hours that they would send me some info. I should also mention that the kettle was about 6 years old at that point. A couple of days go by and no new correspondence, then my doorbell rings and its a NEW lid ! Also, I have a Weber gas as well that is about 15 years old and the igniter still works! And those are the two reasons(besides great cooking) that I always tell people to buy a Weber
Cheers
