    Do you have an antique Weber?

    I have this cool Weber from 1969 or 1970. It's still functional although the bottom vents are difficult to adjust. Does anyone have any advice on cleaning it up further or tuning it up?

    Check out this http://weberkettleclub.com they have a great section on cleaning / restoring your kettle. Also figuring out the age of your beauty.

      That's where I identified its age, HawkerXP. However I didn't see the cleaning/restoration section. I head over there to see what I can learn. Thanks!

        Agreed, HawkerXP I used those guides on my late '70's model. Worked like a charm. After 35+ years of gunk on the kettle, it's nice to work with a clean, efficient one. It's like having a new one!

        I'm surprised the razor blades don't damage the finish.
