Now I havebeen in command of my own Silver Series 22.5 Weber Kettle for manyyears, so try to imagine how excited I was to find this carcass of a GoldSeries 22.5" with much of it still intact. As I walked along the shoulder of the road, I first came to the dome whichwas laid to rest approximately 10 yards farther down the road from the torso,as it had taken what appeared to be a brutal direct hit – it was almostunrecognizable – I quickly looked away. Then I approached the torso. Thelegs were all mangled, one had been blown completely off two were just barelyhanging on with the undercarriage almost completely destroyed. But it seems that all of the premium partsthat make up the lower unit (which is the difference between a Silver and aGold) are in good shape. After one morecup of coffee I’ll mosey on out to the shop and attempt some surgery. Any leftover parts will be up for grabs, first-come-first-serve.
