Hailing from Silicon Valley, CA, USA.
My original One Touch handle broke, so I got and installed the replacement. Then I thought, can I install one on my old kettle? To answer my question, I go online and discover WKC. Oh my.
These are my people, I thought. A forum of like-minded folks who love and respect their Weber kettles. For years I have scoffed at gas, passing by the sea of stainless steel at the home improvement stores without a second glance. For basic backyard grilling, there is no substitute for charcoal, and no substitute for the Weber kettle.
I own and regularly use two kettles. I have a large family, and 15-20 is the norm for a cookout, so one grill won't do. The old one is an A:1979, the newer one is a DZ:2008 (learned their ages at WKC).
Full disclosure, I did own a non-Weber grill for 20+ years that I used as the second. It was originally a cast iron gas grill that Dad converted to charcoal, bless his soul. I couldn't say no to Mom when it needed a home.
I was shocked when I realized I've been using my kettle for 40 years! Now that I've found WKC, I take pause at the idea of drilling a hole in the venerable old grill to install a One Touch. It feels like sacrilege.
I have so much to learn and explore, I look forward to interacting with my people.
