Since I was curious with Huskee's post regarding measurements and his 2015 model, I decided to dig mine out from under the deck. Here is a comparison with changes to last years model.
Classic Black
Thermometer and top vent 90 degrees to each other.
At the start of the second hole the vent is just starting to open
Excuse the mess inside .. didn't feel like cleaning it out

Height from the top grate to the lip of the body = 2 1/4"
From the thermometer to the bottom of the lid = 4 1/2"
Image sizes are all over the place.
I notice a few differences between kettles .. nothing major though. Seems like the older model grate is recessed more to 2 1/4" instead of 2". The outside is actually 22 5/8 and inside is 22". Grate though is the same. Huskee didn't measure the lower grate to upper grate. The legs don't have the push lock deally like the new model.
Performance I would expect to be the same however.

I just thought I'd add a couple measurements. The new model seems to have bottom vent positions a little different than the 2014 model. Keep in mind though that the older model has round holes, and the 2015 model has slotted holes.
Distance between holes = 7/8"
I also thought I'd include the diameter of the bottom opening for the ash tray which is about 10"
