I was in a Tesco, in Stroud, UK, yesterday and saw the "original Weber OT" on sale for $221.90 at the current exchange rate, or 129.99 british pounds.
I have been living on the outskirts of Paris and saw no modern grills for sale. Charcoal is readily available but it is small chips of charcoal that would fall through the grates on our grills. Most grills here in France are made of material like cinder block with a large open front and no control over air flow. Just pour the charcoal in the front and light it like in a fireplace. The grill is above it with one or two heights available for the grill.
