I have heard that story from a few people now. I guess I should update
my Weber web page to provide that bit of advice.
I've also noticed that on race vehicles the top cover is almost always
drilled and wired as well. I've never figured if the cover ever comes
off on its own or if it is a requirements of some race associations.
Oh well I guess I need to update the page again...
