Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent addition for a Weber charcoal grill Comment: This is a relatively simple product so I will get straight to the point. I have a 18 1/2 one-touch gold and the lid already had a hook built in that would hold it to the uncovered grill. This device is inexpensive and will hold the lid a little more securely than the hook will. The only negative I could possible think of is that I have to remove the slide aside (takes all of 2 seconds) to fit the Weber deluxe cover over the grill. I also think this would be even better if I had the 22 1/2 inch grill since the lid for that is almost twice as heavy (neighbor has one). Not a necessity, but a decent add on for the grill. I gave it 5 stars because it fit perfect out of the box and does exactly what it says it will.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Lid hanger Comment: Very handy, much better than trying to hang the lid from the little hook on the inside of the cover.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Slide Aside works "o.k.". Comment: I had a Weber kettle with a built-in lid holder for about 10 years. It was on it's last legs so when I moved I junked it and bought a new one. Unfortunately it didn't have the lid holder so I ordered a Slide-Aside. It clips over the top edge of the kettle and the lower portion just rests against the lower side of the kettle. It is narrower than the built-in variety and the bottom just sort of flops free. It does the job but I have to be careful not to pull it off the top of the kettle when I put the lid back on. Also, the clips that hold it to the top edge keep the lid from sealing completely, so when I finish cooking something and close the top and bottom vents air still gets in around the lid and keeps the charcoal burning much longer. It used to be I could cook a steak, close the vents, and the next time most of the charcoal would be left. Now most of the charcoal is gone and I have to sift down the ashes and refill the charcoal holders almost every time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great product!! Comment: I like to browse the Weber product line on Amazon to find that extra little something for my "I don't need anything for my birthday" husband. When I saw the Weber Slide-Aside, I knew it was something he would really use, and like!! And does he ever!
He uses his grill almost every evening in the summer, and said he cannot imagine how he did without it before. It is such a simple and efficient product...no tools necessary to install...just slide it on the side of the grill and start cooking. No more heat rings on the wood deck, accidental arm burns from the hot domed lid...just slide the dome over into the Slide-Aside. I highly recommend this product!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Can't grill without it! Comment: This is a handy spot to put your lid when working with the grill. Easy to install and use, it also keeps the hot lid away from nosey pets and curious children.
