My Weber kettle finally broke. I owned it for 28 years and used it about every other week. It travelled with me from South Africa to CA to AZ to MI. No parts had been replaced. The only repairs were the addition of screws to prevent the legs from detaching. Cooking on the grill was a pleasure. Heat was distributed evenly over the surface and easily regulated. The 22" was perfect for my family. The welding on the handle has failed. The rust is starting to get under the paint so I will replace it.
