I just got off the phone with Weber. I was asking about a replacement lid for my SJP. The very first time I used it, I hung the lid on the side of the kettle and a gust of wind kicked up and blew it off. I got a nice chip in the porcelain lid - damn!
I just noticed when I was cleaning all of my Webers that the chip is starting to get a rust spot in it. I called Weber, explained what happened, and the lady quoted me a replacement price for the lid at $43.70! I told her I could buy a whole new unit for $49.99. That didn't impress her....
So I guess I'll be sanding and painting the lid, while keeping my eyes peeled for a new SJP. I have two chances of finding one: slim and none. I'll check my local Ace first, then any other Ace stores I go by.
Wish me luck....
