Weberitis got the best of me....and what kind of kettle nut would I be if I didn't get one of these - at least so I could review it and share my experience here. I already have yellows, blues and a weathered warrior but no green kettles except for a lime smokey joe. So there, I talked myself into one of these. Build quality seems up to par or at least as expected, no finish issues on the bowl or lid, only complaint are the scratches on the triangle tray that rode the trip to my house laying upside down at the bottom of the box laying on the lid bale which scratched it pretty good. I'll live with that. The handles would not fit the custom lid strap I have from members here and they will probably be changed out with Zavod44 attire. Lid has to be pressed on to sit flat, grate is bent a little with center piece rocking in it's circle. All good, it still makes me appreciate my older kettles that have a lid and bowl that seem to be made for each other with little effort. That solid easy feel of sitting the lid down on my '69 Statesman is unmistakable and cannot be imitated even by the original manufacturer. I do like this color of green though and will be a nice addition to the collection.
