Mmmmm, I would say I am 80% sure it isnt the standard chip. IMO

Just because its still on the standard baby board doesnt make it standard.

I would double check with Stu, dont risk trying an unknown chip. !!

Shorty,

Ok, as I said, I wasnt totally sure but weber usually had proper printed
labels on.
Although I must admit my experience with standard chips is limited.

I know, it would be too easy to just pop off the cap and adjust fook out of the CO2 adjuster

Hell, it could even be a empty box
