So, what the story on this. Did someone take them off to replace with black lid and a bowl. I know few members here that prefer black.
They were replaced by Weber, due to the rust/porcelain issues. Hence the lack of lid bale bracket/thermo. I need to take a closer look at the lid, to see what issues it has. The porcelain loss/rust is somewhat surprising (to me) on an AD kettle. It's definitely been used frequently.
It
did crack me up that you can still smell the lighter fluid in the bowl. Has gas assist, and still uses lighter fluid... SMH. I guess I'm not so surprised at the bowl damage now that I think about it.....
