Restore your Weber Grill with this easy to install kit. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and installation was quick and easy. My old cleaning system was rusting out (OEM kit) this fit perfectly and my grill is working great again. Highly recommend.

I have a Weber 22 kettle that I saved from the curb on trash day, over 15 years ago. It was already old when I found it. I use it for Thanksgiving Turkeys and sometimes steaks, burgers or a roast, but it sits outside neglected year after year. I decided to freshen it up recently so I cleaned it, painted it, and decided to finally replace the ash cleaning star fish thingy. I don't know that its ever worked for me. It was rusted out completely and seized. What I did to remove it, and I recommend, is I took my RotoZip tool with a metal cutter wheel on it and I cut a big X into it right in the middle, and then chiseled it a bit until it fell apart and out of the hole. Then I ordered this replacement piece. It's not as stout as the stock piece I don't think but it installed easy and it looks and works fantastic. It will be really great to have one that works. If it holds up for even 5 years at this price I'll be perfectly happy with it. I think it probably will.

Perfect fit to replace rotten old ones. Easy to install.

My Weber grill was a Christmas gift from my father in 1989, so now (May, 2025) it was time for some refurbishment, including the old One Touch cleaning \ vent system. I'm cheap, and I was also spending almost 70 bucks on a new grate, ash pan and wheels, so rather than drop another 25 on the Weber branded One Touch, I ordered this set for 10 bucks. I'm one of the lucky ones who received all three blades on the first try, so I think they've sorted out their packaging issues. These are a new style compared to my old ones - the old ones had a large hex shaped aluminum block that fit through the three arms and had to be lined up very carefully to get the angles right. This set is designed such that the arms will automatically be at the right angles, and was much easier to install than the old one was to remove. A suggestion - if your grill is not clean, slather it in oven cleaner and let it sit overnight, then either hit it with a pressure washer or wipe it clean, and the old parts will be a lot easier to remove. I still had to use a mallet. The "arms" in this set seem thicker than the old ones. I didn't measure them, and it could be because the old ones have been outside for over 35 years, but it was a bit harder to bend these to fit than it was to snap the old ones off. That's a good thing. Assembly was not difficult, but does require a little effort, and can be awkward if you have short arms. Once installed, they work perfectly, and seal the vents just fine. I'm tempted to buy a second set to keep as a spare, but I'm pretty sure this set will outlive me, so . . .

Works like a charm! Install was super easy. My old ones were rusted out on the bottom, so I had to use an angle grinder to get them off, completely seized. Before installing this product, I made sure to clean all the crud out of the bottom of the grill so they were starting on fresh grill steel. Package didn't come with instructions but the blades are numbered. Piece with 90 degree metal nubs goes down through the top of all three and then the flat circle goes in first at the bottom. You have to press the middle of the blades down, put the flat piece in at the bottom and slide the handle through the holes. The system is held together with pressure. Process is mus easier to do with 2 people or with a rock or brick to push down the blades.

The piece fit my Weber grill well. The directions were given on the box in a very small, hard to interpret image, but since there were such a small number of pieces, I could easily figure it out. The hardest part by far was removing the original cleaning system which was broken. It was badly rusted in place, so I finally had to use a circular cutting blade on a Dremel tool to cut through the old metal and remove the old pieces. Penetrating oil did not work.

Good quality and easy to install.

Works very well
