No year designation on 26" vent

[scott hares]

Hello, I need to call Weber about a leg socket with popped spot-welds on my 26".
It's at least 6 yrs old, but there is no date designation on the vent like we see on the 22s
Does anyone have knowledge of this?
Thanks

What if any markings are on it?
Have you already registered it?
A call to Weber should help.

I’d have to agree with Timothy, gotta start somewhere.

Weber Kettle warranty for your review.

I called and the welds are under warranty so all is good there. But I forgot to ask why the vent has no date stamp, so thought I'd ask here. Does anyone have a 26" to check date code on vent?

 

[Bob Erdman]

I have one. I'll take a look.

Go to find the age of your kettle in the fourms there is a area when they are made in China that you have no date stamp.

Hi Scott, long time no see.

No date stamp is probably not intentional, just an error that slipped through the cracks. Unless you have the original owners manual and it happens to have a date code or serial number sticker on the cover, you'll probably never know the exact age of this grill, assuming you did not buy it new yourself.
