Well you can compare some of teh other product and webers... I don't know of a virtual brinkmann site, do you?
I know green egg has a site, but that is a specialty much like the WSM. Some drive Fords, others drive Chevys.
As posted earlier, it's hard to mess with success and a company never wants to alienate people. So a few improvements were offered. What Weber has in store the next time around remains to be seen.
I think the pro-staker is kinda neat. I saw a smoking team over the weekend (Mike's BBQ/BBQ Jedi (not me)) use the BBQ Guru's fan. that's cool. multiple input thermometers are really useful.
but some of those things are not as useful or worth the price to the regular everyday user.... that's why we mod and tell chris we need more room to archive all these posts...
