Weber's Independent Store Line?

[Alan F]

Someone told me that Weber makes an upscale line of products for independent hardware stores. That more stainless steel is used, etc.

I was at ACE hardware this week and they have a OTG in green that has a thermo in the lid and a heat guard under the handle. That didn't seem to make sense until this story (if it's correct).

Does anyone know about this?

The current model OTG boasts a dome thermometer, tool hook handle, and "glass reinforced nylon lid handle". Comes in black, green, and blue.

I think you just saw one of these new ones.

when I was shopping their gassers last year, the grills sold @ Home Depot & nowhere else (I think) featured cast iron grates.

Alan, take a look at the 2011 Weber Premium Product Catalog. It shows examples of items available only through select retailers. I think this is what you're referring to.

Chris, for some reason I'm not seeing what your referring to in the catalog.

Next time I'm at ACE I'll take a picture.
