My 2021 Weber Premium!

[Samuel]

1st Ever Weber Kettle! Yoda!






Upgrades!

 

[DanHoo]

Nice!

Yota? Or Yoda?

 

[Samuel]

Yoda is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, first appearing in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back. He is a small, green humanoid alien who is powerful with the Force and served as Grandmaster of the Jedi Order.

Fire that baby up!

 

[Ron De Hoogh]

Very nice, congrats and enjoy!

Time to get it dirty!

I love looking at grills. All of them. Noticed that baby has the Smoke setting with the P shaped vents. Nice!

Just a note: The Limited Edition Badge is off of a 14615001 Limited Edition Red Premium Grill.
I always wanted a Limited Edition Green Headed Kettle.

I tried to order it from Weber but they would not sell it to me because I did not own one.
I found it on eReplacementParts.com.

I did not like the size of Weber Charcoal Baskets so I ordered an Original Slow-N-Sear today.

 

[Tim Snyder]

The green seems to be one of the nicer quality Weber finishes. I really like that color.

Added a "New" Dragon Wing.

Have you considered adding a lid bale or hinge?

Yes Eric, later on. Just have not decided on which one.

@EricV , when you mount the bail handle, on the bottom does it miss the sweep on the inside. I know it works on the performer but I have never seen one installed, thus my reason for asking.

No. The bottom support hole should go above the sweepers & below the charcoal grate, right in between the two.

I put a lid gasket on the new crimson kettle I just assembled. I must say that it makes quite the quality difference in the way the lid "feels" when you're putting it on/off the grill (plus seals it a bit better for smoking). Highly recommended and MUCH easier to install on a new clean grill.

Hey Tim,
May I ask what gasket material you use?

Hey Tim,

I used this from Amazon:

Fireblack® Hi Temp BBQ smoker Gasket Self Stick 15 ft High Heat 1/2 x 1/8 Black

$16.00 a roll but it should do two 22" kettles. So far it seems to be working well, but I can't vouch for it long-term yet. Definitely stuck well to the new kettle. I want to put it on my user kettle but that will be a project to clean. New is the time to do it.

Samuel,
You may find that your grill will be a little more stable if you position your Dragon Wing over the rear wheel.
Very nice addition to an already great grill. You are going to love cooking on that MoJo. Be sure to post pics of your first cook, we're dyin' to see them.

I think I will take your advice and invest in one of these lid gaskets. I agree with you now is the time to put one on since the grill is still unused.
Now I will have to decide on which one and from who I am going to buy it from.
Thanks for the Link on the one you used Tim and the advice.
