Does anyone know why this triangle would have been used instead of the more traditional one we see most often? (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170311/dc96d344b7d3ecfc3b45d5f1ae03a12c.jpg)

That's the triangle from the lower end Weber daisy wheel and economy kettles from the 90's
Is that an 18? The one you see "quite often" is the one you'll never see when you start looking for a donor kettle with one lol. Lots of the 18's have this one and the newer ones with the other style often are black or painted that silver color.
If it's a 22, it will be easier to find the other style.
I just went through finding a donor for my 18 avocado. In my case I ruined the original by leaving it in evaporust for a loooong time.
It is on a 22 avocado. Found it at an estate sale last year.

Not an original to the avocado kettle. Just change it out to a reg. triangle if it bothers you. I do have both of the kettles pbe gummi bear mentioned with this triangle.
Wonder why the previous owner changed it out. I will probably change it. Thanks for the input

Don't be too quick to dismiss it as not original. Weber has done all sorts of twists on the kettles, depending on the retailer.
