Just saw this on the Today Show, and looked it up.
Hey Shaun R, check out the lid latch system


Check out all the cool colors.
$50 at Amazon.
13.4 dia. cook grate.

Most definitely cute-i think the $30 i spent on my smoky joe is the way to go,at least i could not justify extra unless i cooked on it first to see where it may perform better.I like the lid clamps-next trip to the hardware store i will be looking.Thanks for posting!

they'd make nice planters for the deck....

coconut charcoal.... interesting.

I would guess it's made in China, and probably not even hold up as a planter.

But once again, if Weber made these colors they would sell like hotcakes, IMO.

Thanks Bob, that pink is so darn ugly, but the colors are nice. Weber needs to do this. We need to try and copy that latch system. And where is the bottom damper? As far as coconut charcoal, I like it but it has to be good stuff. Here's a review you can trust. Then you decide. http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm

thats funny cuz i was thinking of a clip close to that. a similar setup on a mercedes was what i was actually thinking of but i was concerned about the amount of metal on the sj lid. crazy colors.

I totally agree. It's one of my only irks with Weber.
Here's one in something other than Black.

no way 'am i paying that much for a colored sj. crazy !

It does seem as if Weber in the US, at least, has the old Henry Ford attitude, "you can have any color you want as long as it't black"

Any new findings on that latch lock?

the color is nice but that handle HAS to get smokin' hot, located where it is!!!
