Weber issue?

[delearyous]

I have a Weber kettle 22". Is it normal to see "flakes" underneath the lid? Normal? Cause? Thank you in advance.

Are you using it as a smoker? Is it paint flakes or built up grease flakes.

This is quite normal and is a build up of smoke deposits and tars from the charcoal/wood.. Just get a soft wire brush and brush them off every couple of smokes.

If you don't brush them off they tend to drop down on the food.

So then its most likely just grease ans smoke just use a plastic scraper and scrape it off every so often.
