Leg stuck in bowl

[CatskillSmoker]

Anyone have experience getting one loose?
I believe it to be an 81-82
Thanks for any wisdom.


And what year are these plastic wheels from? I've never seen them

I'd throw a wd soak.

liquid wrench , twist and pull with a light rocking motion , and mind your forehead when it lets go . (short story but i'm not telling )

What he said, by time you get back with a beer, it should twist out..

If it dont want to come off...leave it there

[charred]

Yes. Kroil soak, firm grasp, and patience. Some have taken 20 solid mins. and given me a nice forearm burn. Feel the burn.

And jostling the leg all around will make the porcelain around leg socket deteriorate quicker.

So true.  The Avocado I just got is my first thumb screw kettle, and after moving it around a few times with no worry of legs falling out I am wondering why weber ever went away from this.  Sounds like it would have save @johnny 2 shack some head trauma!  LOL

I'd leave it there... at least you know it's not gonna drop out on ya when ya move the kettle...

[YardBurner]

Can't remember how many kettles I've
scrounged that hat either tape wrapped
around the leg or foil jammed in the socket
to keep a leg from dropping.

I like the new Premium setup with the spring loaded button... awesome idea.

I don't have any new kettles but that sounds like a nice improvement making the legs both removable and secure when in place.

I picked a NIB Copper OTG Premium last fall.  I must say, I do like the new spring loaded buttons.  Kettle took longer to get all of the pieces out of the box than it did to put it together.  In 40 minutes time, I was burnin' her in...
