No. Mine is black. I'm holding out hope that they'll eventually put out a "chrome" model.

Congrats! Did you get the "flames" model?

After trying several grill baskets, I went with a Lodge Pro-Logic 14" cast iron wok ($80). Sure it costs more, but I don't have to worry about replacing it every few years. I keep it well-seasoned, so I don't have to worry about food sticking. Also, unlike the perforated models, it can also be...

Yes, they're both bi-metal, but the difference is in the quality of the components. The Weber thermometer (as well as most of the $15-$25 gauges) that I've tried have normally been at least 10 degrees off. The Tel-Tru models that I've used have been much more consistent in their readings.

I use a Pelican waterproof case with foam-padded interior for all of my BBQ electronics (BBQ Guru, iGrill, Mavericks, Thermapens). The cases are a bit pricey, but it beats damaging and replacing the "toys."

I picked up an iGrill (came with 2 meat probes) on Black Friday for $90 + tax. Once I got it home, I read the instructions (located in the free app, then paired it with my iPhone. I also took a moment to check it's accuracy in boiling water, and found it to be within a few degrees of my...

I picked up a "Dove Grey" 22.5" kettle on Craigslist for $10. It's in relatively good condition; needs a little cleaning & restoration. There was no date code on the exhaust daisy wheel. It has 3 daisy wheels for intake on the underside, as opposed to the newer OTS. Also, the lose handle is...

Temp control is good. Once I have a fire going, I close the One-Touch blades to the point that there is only a sliver of opening. In the next 30 days, I plan to add a 22.5" WSM to the opposite side, and a Guru Cyper Q to control both sides. Details/pictures will follow.

This is a project that I have an idea about for a while. It started with an 18.5" WSM mounted on an 18.5" One-Touch Platinum. Then I decided to mount the entire assembly alongside a 22.5" Platinum (had to fabricate some mounting bracket extensions). Added the rotisserie kit to the larger kettle...
