I believe you. That's why I make an effort to protect the bowls on my desirable kettles.

Banking the coals on that side repeatedly, I've seen it before

I've banked coals repeatedly for a long time in my ots. No damage yet. Maybe I'm just getting lucky.



 I see a lot more porcelain damage on colored kettles than on black ones. The damage caused by the banking of coals or exposure to high heat on colored kettles (resulting in warranty claims) may be why Weber is reluctant to produce a variety of colors now.
