Are you in Cook County? I was born and raised in Berwyn. Then on to Hoffman Estates till '73. Then and still in Denver. We do have good water here. I was wondering if the new lid is double layered? For heat rising out of the top? After looking at the WLL install, I took out the big inner divider/top panel and left it out.It did serve as a second layer of metal along with the lid for all the heat rising. - Dennis

New lid has three rows of hex holes that run along both sides. Looks so nice I polished the machine to match the lid. I'm happy with look and results.
