NOOOO!!!



NOOOOO!!!



Fixable, and Olga is 30 years old, and I kinda knew it was coming, but still. It's also really hard to properly operate a Weber kettle with no lid handle.

[MsTwiggy]

Scheiße!! 🔥🔥🐿️

[WayneT]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[mrichie1229]

We feel your pain mnavarre! Glad to hear that she's gonna make it.

[Troutman]

Olga?

[mnavarre]

What? The grills have names. Don't judge.

[RonB]

A drill with the appropriate sized bit plus a pair of nuts and bolts and yur done.

[smokenoob]

all SS and some washers and she is good for another 30 !

[mnavarre]

That's the plan.

[WayneT]

Or, call realdocBBQ. I hear he has some mad welding skills.

[Jfrosty27]

Looks like an MCS moment to me. 🤣😉

[au4stree]

This is the kind of support I expect from AR Pit members. Helping MCS members one cooker at a time. 😂

[xaugievike]

For sure au4stree. while still fixing it of course...

[HawkerXP]

A couple of ss pop rivets and washers should do the job. If you go nut and bolt, get the shortest bolt and low-profile nut. Or your thanksgiving turkey may come out with a pierced breast.

Ok, ok, let’s calm down here a second. This is Amazin Wibs! Yeah we got some purty good fixer uppers here as members. Now there is this matter of MCS. Let’s not ferget our priorities! More is better. So, in this case, put yer drills & nuts & bolts away. The real deal at hand is, what kind of cooker or cookers were you thinkin of gittin? Let us know. We are here to help.

[Spinaker]

Drill and replace! Olga......what a great name for a grill!

[hoovarmin]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Olga

[Grillin Dad]

Damn, 30 years? That is seriously impressive!! Are you going to use this as an excuse to get a new cooker, or fix it and keep it running? At 30 years, I'd almost want to see how long she'll run for.

[PGH_RAM]

Olga is great, and she has put in years of solid service, but have you met Greta--the shiny new 26" Master-Touch? No one could blame you for bringing home Greta.

[Bkhuna]

Greta will probably mouth off every time you light the charcoal.

[zinfella]

Olga?

Yeah, no wonder it broke

[Bbqmikeg]

Olga will be fine. I “fixed” red with a handle off of a chimney.
