Will this over heat your Weber Kettle and ruin any part of it, i.e. the thermometer on top, the handles?

I run mine from 800-900 degrees and the paint on the i side of the webber lid started to flake off. Just hit it with a paper towel and it comes right off with no problems. I have used it for two years now and my grill is still fine.

Not at all, I have been using mine for about the last 8 months, and apparently the Weber is built for high heat, without any ill effect whatsoever. I thoroughly enjoy using the kettle attachment, and the pizzas come out very very good. Hope this helps.

I haven't yet and use 2-3 times a week at about 800 degrees. The thermometer on the Pizza Kettle has gone black,

I have used the Kettle Pizza at least 50+ times, zero issues. I have had my performer up to 1200 degrees with lump charcoal & wood for steaks, no issues. I can't say the same for the stainless steel behind my grill. On a side note, if you KP thermometer goes black it can be cleaned.

Do not suggest you use it over the grill as heat source is greater than a burner - and remember there are plastic parts on this you don't want to expose to heat beyond the burner. We have a thermal carafe and pour the just-brewed pot into it and then brew again so we have an endless flow of hot coffee for around the morning campfire!

I have not had these issues. If the boiling water overflows, perhaps fill kettle 3/4 full. The handle for me has never been hot. As for the top nob, I treat it with caution, ie...do not touch till the kettle water is no longer boiling.

The heating element isn't exposed, but the kettle itself is metal and gets very,very hot. Only the handle and maybe part of the lid stay cool. Other kettles I've had have been more insulated and get warm but not extreme hot.

I think you will end up burning yourself as the handle will become hot as well - so I think it is a very bad idea...Note that this certainly not what it is designed for, and it has some form of inside isolation and can keep liquid warm for an extended amount of time

Oh, it absolutely will damage it. If you're using it in Teflon (non-stick), get a plastic spatula. This one is great for cast iron pans, though!

Not sure of question; yes, leaking to anything below would occur if used on a grill. No idea how the metal would react in/on a grill. Sorry!

it could damage your stove top. You can buy heat diffusers at your kitchen store that will help heating evenly and maybe also protect for stove top.

Only heat water. Inside it has a metal base on the bottom of the kettle, and that is what heats up the water. I would imagine anything loose would damage the metal base and potentially ruin the kettle.

Yup, I have the GrillPro prongs using with the Weber rotisserrie on a 22 inch Weber kettle. Works great. Go for it!

Nope. The only problem I have had with respect to heat is that coming from the spout when I empty the kettle as I do not let excess water sit in it for more than is necessary.

Not at all. I use my kettle on a cast iron wood cook stove (I use the stove to heat my kitchen during the winter so the kettle is on all day) that's very hot and the handle does not heat up at all . If you keep the handle upright while it's boiling it's comfortable to grab at any time.

No. It's got a porcelain overlay that can cause horrible damage to your stove.

Barbara, you wouldn't want to do this in any case -it would alter the heat sensitivity of the probes (rendering their readings inaccurate.) The "don'ts" are few and pretty simple: Don't use the wire over the direct open flame, don't get 'em wet, and when you take the probe out of the meat you need to grasp the probe, not tug it out by the wire. Hope this helps.

Just cooked some soup on mine today. Remove that dumb cage top and bend and trim the carry handle so it's snug against the lid. Then be careful; a boil-over will make a mess and maybe crack the glass chimney. I don't see any danger like all the chicken-littles squawk about; that's just how kids are trained nowdays.

Yes, but make sure it's not being exposed to heat from the stove. I've got a gas stove and if any of the heat from the flames washes over the pan the handle holder gets hot AND STAYS HOT!

I'm certain the handle cover is silicon, no transfer of heat thru it at all. True to Cool Breeze's comments, they probably could design the silicon cover to go all the way to the spout to avoid getting burned when your hand slides forward. And it will. It did for me several times. Still... love this kettle!!!
