How stable is the lid in that position? Looks kinda precarious in the photo but that can be misleading... I sure wouldn't want it falling over if I wiggled the kettle while it was up...

Dave- My thoughts exactly! Just gotta figure out how to sell the idea to the CFO... -Tom in SoCal

Thanks everybody. By far the best solution is a table next to the kettle... gonna have to pursue that. Thanks!

OK -- this will seem awfully basic to many of you. I recently acquired a 22" OT, and I'm enjoying learning how to use it. But one thing... how do you hang your tools during a cook? Grill brush, tongs, burger flipper, etc. I bought one of the $4 tool hangars (wire tool hooks that clip onto...

Hey Mary- Wouldn't the new-style baskets do the job? Only $15... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000WEMGM4/tvwb-20

Cool! A performer is on my wish list... hope Santa is watching. I gotta ask... is there a hook inside the lid? I realize it has the "lid catcher" as you show in the pix, but seems like having the flexibility of having the hook to hang the lid on the side might be usefull from time to...

Thanks everybody -- very helpful.

Can I ask... What vent are you discussing? I presume the top vent in the lid, but it don't understand why that would matter. Clearly I have a lot to learn! -Tom in So Cal

OK -- I'm a noob so please forgive a basic question. After a cook, I close the vents and the fire dies. So... when I come out to cook the next time, there is a bed of partially-burned coals on the grate. Should I load those into the chimney, top it off with new coals, and use that mix? Or...

With the old design, you lifted the bowl up into the collar, and rotated it to lock into place. Great idea, but aluminum doesn't always slide very well, and if things got distorted and out-of-round, the rotation can be a challenge. The new design appears to be very different; now you place...

Saw this on Amazon last night... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00N6XA198/tvwb-20

Leave the ash pan native.... it is just an ash pan... BUT -- share your technique for shining up the Kettle body... a buddy gave me his old OTS (1984 model) so I'd like to shine it up a bit... I'm going to pop for the OTG ash pan assembly and hose clamp it in place... the one thing I don't...

I would suggest going to a local dealer and seeing them side-by-side. The Genesis is build better, IMHO. The cabinet is better, and more importantly the hood has a liner that will help keep the heat in better, although I doubt the difference would be huge. So my take is that the user...

THanks everybody. Looks like the factory-recommended "bag-in" is the way to go. Very much appreciated! -Tom in SoCal

Looking at the box pic, it appears that the bag Hans on the OUTSIDE of the cover, when it is installed on the grill?? Seems wrong to me... But maybe I'm misunderstanding something? Would cut off immediately if it is on the outside. -Tom in SoCal

Hello charcoal mavens... A friend gave me his older 22.5" OT kettle, so I'm giving the charcoal side of grilling a try. So I picked up some charcoal and one of the Kingsford CHarcoal Kaddy's for storage. One dumb question.. for those of you that use these containers, do you pour in the...

The model number is 2251094 The serial number as DU00413528. Enter this on the weber site and get the manuals, etc. -Tom in SoCal

Could you elaborate a little about how you prepped the surface, and what primer you used, if any? Reprinting my grill is on the radar for later this fall... -TOm in SoCal

Will it run ok on just one burner? Or all burners on low? I'm still guessing regulator but not positive. You might try calling Weber to see if they have a better suggestion.

Prepare what you enjoy preparing the most -- and let the judges do their thing. You'll enjoy the competition more, and a good showing will be a lot more meaningful than if you are just working the angles to try and win. My $0.02 -- YMMV!!
