An old friend was in from out of town yesterday. Smoked half a salmon. When I went to grab the lid to start moving the WSM from the garage to the driveway, I was left with only the front handle in my hand. Popped right off the lid. It didn't affect the cook, but I need to fix it. Is it as simple as drilling out the handle ends and the lid and screwing it back on, or is there something else to consider? Thanks. I think the WSM 22 is 13 or 14 years old.

I'd drill it out and use a bolt /nut with washers to hold it on. I'd use stainless.
Depending on how nice you want it to look you could use something like a sidewalk bolt on the outside with a washer and nut on the inside
Or a hex bolt on the inside with a dome nut on the outside. You could go black or stainless

I second.
I'm a fan of replacing [insert politically correct adjective here] hardware with nice stainless nuts bolts and washers where ever possible.
