Is there such a thing or are these size references used indiscriminately? Did Weber change from a 22 1/2” to a 22”? If so, when?
I’ve been looking at the Weber brand rotisserie ring for my 22 1/2” “Late 1979” “A” code kettle and it got me thinking about a post on TVWBB by a member there who was apparently having a difficult time getting the correct size roti ring from Weber, indicating that he had ordered one directly from Weber and it didn’t fit, in his estimation, it was about 1/2” too small. He returned it to Weber and received another roti ring and it, too, didn’t fit. He described it as not resting on the lip of the kettle, all the way around.
I’ve seen a number of grates and roti rings described as 22” or 22 1/2”. If at all possible, I’d like to save myself the time and annoyance by getting the proper size(d) parts and accessories for my kettle the first time around.
