Offer them $20 and pick up a replacement part at Lowes or ebay or somewhere.
Although it does have some rust where the handle connects to the lid as well.

Ok, okay...I looked. Honestly, you don't even need that vent. I run mine wide open usually.

looks like a very productive weekend

I've seen those vents on eBay USA for pretty cheap, even comes with a stainless bolt

I love the looks of the 26" kettles..... Now that you have played on it a while, whats your take on what you think it could do that a 22" could not (Like do you think you could indirect cook 2 cockspatched birds instead of just 1 or 2 briskets?) Just curious on you thoughts

Dang, can't believe I missed this. Hell of a cook, nice new kettle, and that back yard is fantastic! I'm jealous!!

Scott, have not done any "long" cooks on it yet, butt have some coming up. Will try a couple of butts at once but I doubt she'll hold 2 big packers. (17-18 LB range) All-in-all, same as the 22.5 but over 4 inches bigger and can do more at once. Plus it looks good.
