Mine is about 10 years old. I bought it when I moved to this apartment and
have a nice spacious fenced patio which allows for grilling. Firemarshall
law requires at least a 15 foot space between dwelling and grilling. I have
a 22 sq. foot fenced in patio. One of the first things I did after moving
in was buy a Weber kettle! So yes, it's old. But I'll have to look inside
the lid for some sort of hook. Still seems rather silly when I can simply
set the lid on the patio while I turn the food

I just wheel it away from the fence and the planting areas to the middle of
the patio and grill away! I do put it away in the built-in storage room off
the patio come winter. But otherwise it has withstood some rather
torrential rains and searing heat (heheh) without any problems.
