Weber Kettle Forum / Re: Vintage kettle lid handle ...

Last post by Nightgriller - Today at 07:50:01 AM

Brownie damage before and after. The weld on the lid vent side was broken and barely hanging on. (I chipped a lot more than I wanted to as you can see). I was thinking about drilling out the spot weld and using stainless bolts but that seems so wrong to bring a drill bit around that vintage beauty.

And the redhead before. I haven't touch the redhead yet I'm still waiting before I get to that repair.

Thank you for the advice.

Red Ripe Jalapeños are plentiful and delicious. Two Beef Burgers W/Jalapeños and four Pork/Beef W/Cheap Cheddar.

Burnt Buns and Tots too, but no pics...

How can I get an invite? I've been following this for years, back when Troy would put it on YouTube. I can pick a few to bring and could cook.

jiveturkey1 We would love if you would join us! We are getting things started at 11AM on 10/10. I will send you a message with my address. Excited to see what you bring and cook!

Thanks! The problem is not having receipts or anything because it came used with my 26. I've actually gone back to SNS easy spin for the last few cooks, it's a lot easier to work with!

Also if you have a summit or performer with gas assist you can use the gas tube to connect your billows.  Just need the universal adapter, a length of SS pipe and JB weld.  Works great and regulates the air coming through the gas tube.

@Bamakettles. Why did you use the gas tube instead of the port on the summit?

Because the summit gas tube sucks air anyway and this way I can control that.  When smoking on the summit (without a fan) I have to close the bottom vent all the way and the air intake through the gas assist tube is usually enough to keep it at 250F, closing the top lid about halfway.  Same exact setup with my performers and this solution solves that.

Interesting. I usually run with bottom set to the smoke icon and the top with about a 1/4" gap. I will try your method. I use the gas starter 99% of the time. So, it is impractical for me to connect the fan through the tube. Plus, I have used the fan maybe 3 times in the 4 or so years that I have had it. I only bought it so I could get some sleep at night for the occasional overnight cook. Thanks for the response.
