    New kettle and uncles 100th birthday

    Well, I got the second weber and put it together on Friday. Yesterday we celebrated my uncles 100th birthday and everything turned out great. I did not get any pictures with food on the kettle
    but I did get one after lighting.

    Wow, a century! My Mom would have turned 100 in November this year (she passed at 90). That's a hell of an achievement! And congrats on the new kettle

    Pass along my best wishes to your uncle. 100 years! The wisdom that he holds! Great that you were able to still get the grill for this special cook.

      Congrats and happy birthday to Uncle John! Please tell him he doesn’t look a day over 80. Good on you for handling the grilling.

            Tell Uncle John we all said Happy Birthday, and I’m with the others, he really does look a lot younger! Enjoy your new kettle. Just an observation here, but I noticed your kettle lid vent doesn’t have the plastic heat shield that goes over the tab. I thought they came on the Master Touch series 🧐 mine did. It makes using your fingers to adjust the vent impossible during a cook…without getting burned.

            Several years ago my first kettle was their basic $99. model and it didn’t come with the heat shield for the tab either. I called Weber about buying one and thought I was gonna be charged for it. I think it was about $8. or $9. back then, plus shipping. I nicely mentioned to the lady that I thought Weber should include that on all their models, without having to buy it. Without it, you’ve got to use either gloves or a utensil to adjust the vent during a cook. Anyway I politely asked her if there was any way she could let me have it at no charge….she said yes! Just an FYI in case you ever wanted to get that part some day.

              Well, I received a package from weber and it was the damper. So they did not send the plastic part that I requested. I called again and she said it does not come with the grill. She said If I sent her a picture of the damper on the lid I would get the plastic part. So I did and she said she will process the warranty. In the mean time I have cut a slit in a cork from a wine bottle and I use that. It works good.

            I’m confused. It’s Uncle John’s birthday, but you’re the one who got the toy. How’s that work?
            But seriously, happy birthday to Uncle John and enjoy your new kettle.
