So, I've been wondering about something. When rebuilding the Weber I had to install a new one touch system. The one they sent me works fine for the vents, but it doesn't go far enough for the blades to reach the next opening when cleaning. It'd been so long since I used it I can't honestly recall if the blades traversed all the way from hole to hole for cleaning, or if they stopped short. The end result is I have to knock the rest of the ash through with a brush or something.
FWIW, the Weber guy was on the phone with me for over a half hour making sure he had the right one. But, I'm not sure.
How do yours work? When you move the handle from leg to leg, do the blades go from hole to hole?
Feel kind of dumb here, I suppose I should go find one in a store and mess with it.

Here's the new 2015 Weber Kettle Premium (formerly One Touch Gold) vent settings/handle position, for comparison to yours. FWIW.
Actually, that post is the one that got me to thinking about it while at the 'puter. It looks like yours stops short as well. After I posted I went to Weber's site and watched the video on the one touch Silver, the closest thing to my old kettle. I'm almost certain their blades go all the way across the hole in both directions. Then I went and dug my old blades out of the recycling bin and checked them against the new ones, they appear to be the same size.
Based on FuzzyDaddy's post and my memory, I'm thinking mine never did go all the way. But, then how does the one in the video? If the legs are the same distance apart and the handle is straight, then it makes no sense. Now I gotta' go look at the stupid video again.
Or I guess I'll could just get a new...
"Hey, honey?"

Usernamevalid. You chop a hole in the ice and put peas around it. Wait for the polar bear to come. When the polar bear comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole!
