Vent position indicator

I will clean that off and do a nicer job, but has anyone else come up with a way to know exactly how far open the lower vents are?

On my old (newer) performer, I had used blue touch up paint (to match the kettle) to mark the ring.

I thought about using some red paint to do the same to my current performer, but don't need it. For me it's either all the way open, or all the way closed.

Here's a bomb idea! We make a wkc sticker with the vent settings! Ha Ha! Weber never thought of that!

Marty!

Anything is possible. I'll mock one up...

I love the sticker idea. 

And Jaronimo, I just use a sharpie to make little hash marks with three circles-- a full circle for 'closed', a half-black circle for 'half', and an open circle for 'open'.   But like Troy, I don't actually use them that frequently, as most of my cooking is cone wide open.  But when I'm smoking something or trying to reduce the heat, it's pretty nice to be able to know where the vents are (If I'm maintaining temperature at, say 3/8ths and I need to turn the food or add coals or something, I'll choke the grill down completely for a few minutes before opening back up to 3/8).

Nice, like the Walleye tape rulers they have here for the boat.(Slot sizes apply here)

I used a Sharpie to make three simple vertical lines on the ring, above the o.t. handle at barely fully open, half & barely fully closed. The result looks clean & simple. I don't feel it is necessary to label the marks because both extremes are labeled on the ring by the factory. I do a great deal of my cooking at 1/2 or 1/4 so having the marks is helpful, but I didn't want it to look sloppy.

I made marks using a sharpie with circles with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and fully black on one of my grills.
