rubber/plastic vent handle

[Mickey D]

Does anyone know where I can find a rubber/plastic handle that goes on the top vent of a weber gold kettle? Just like the one on the performer series. Thanks!

thanks for the quick response. One more Q. Do you know if it will fit any 22 1/2 kettle vent? Is the two dimples on the vent handle have anything to do with locking on the molded lid vent damper?

 

[George Curtis]

no idea but i kinda assume so. i doubt that weber would make two differant vents. others have added that plastic thingy and i didn't read that they had any issues.

You can buy them here. Appliance Factory Parts
But at $7.99 shipping, you might want to buy some other stuff at the same time.

Check Ace or tru-value esp if it's an older store.

Now & then weber will have free shipping. Last time I bought some parts for my weber kettles, I asked about the vent handles and they gave me 2 of them for free.

I'll never understand why Weber doesn't put these on all vent tabs on all their grills and smokers.
IMO, it's not a place to cut corners.

a buck here, a buck there, and it adds up to big savings.

True, but there's probably a class action lawyer, or a client, out there about to burn his or her fingers and go hmmm...

 

[George Curtis]

thats what tongs are for ! or mitts. or a towel. or-------.

 

[Bob Correll]

I got use to the protector on my Performer and guess I'm just spoiled.
IMO, it's nice to not have to look for or use something else to get the job done, and I'm sure that's why Mickey is looking for them.

 

[George Curtis]

to be honest, until now i havn't given this "issue" any thought. i hate it when i have to think about something. complicates life.

 

[Bob Correll]

Well George, get to thinkin' about something already in a hardware store's stock that will do the trick, and on the cheap.

Maybe something from the electrical department?
I keep meaning to look around, but forget to when I go.

 

[George Curtis]

just might. course i'm also afflicted with crs.

 

[Mickey D]

Your absolutely right Bob....a nice burn line on my finger prompted this...what is that class action lawyers name

 

[George Curtis]

admitting you got mush(pc) for brains ?

 

[Mickey D]

well...yeah, I guess I do, but Weber has a good way of making things stupid proof. They missed one

 

[Dwain Pannell]

The part is $2.99. Shipping is $7.99. I think I'll wear gloves (I already have them).

I have got them from Weber a few times. I usually try to order something else and then I ask them about that part and they usually throw one in, or at least he shipping isn't anything extra that way. And yes the dimples hold the part on. the older dampers don't have the dimples and they won't work.
