I got my Smoky Joe just about 2 months ago and have cooked on it 3 times. Last night I noticed the handle was very loose and rusting! As soon as my wife finds the receipt, I'm gonna give Weber a call.

I see the gorilla . . . but if I squint a bit, it looks like a lion with it's mouth open growling . . .

A gorilla? No big deal. If you can squint just right (or drink enough beers) to see Jesus or the Virgin Mary, then you could get Larry on the 6 o'clock news. :mrgreen:
 
A few degrees here or there can make a difference when welding. Glad they don't weld pipelines like that!!!!!

I can't see the gorilla????? Do I need more beer?
 
Well as any astute non injuneer can readily discern them folks have turned that lid into a battery. Would nearly bet that handle is aluminum whilst that dome lid is some form of steel..sheet metal etc. Two dissimlar metals touching is not a good plan. Rainwater is slightly acidic. Whamo it strikes an arc. They might want to consider hiring me for the quality control dept.

Looks to me there is hair around it. Not thinking gorilla.
I'm going into the kitchen now for beer. :shock:
