2014 Copper Kettle

[Karl Freienmuth]

Has anyone seen the new Copper/Crimson 2014 additions with their own eyes?
Someone, somewhere mentioned the new 2014 colors are more of a flat/dull finish,
not the bright/shiny were accustomed to.
Bright & Shiny beats flat & dull.
I'd like the Copper, but if it isn't shiny I may pass.
Thx

Do you live near Lowes? They should have them on the show floor. I've seen it and I would say they're more satin finish. Definitely not glossy and definitely not flat. But then again, I like satin more than gloss.

Here's a pic that I took when I was at Lowes the other day.

I like it.

 

[Karl Freienmuth]

Yes, I'm near Lowe's. I'll stop by when I have a chance and have a look.
2 weeks ago, Lowe's didn't have them on display around here. Thus the question
Thanks

I saw a copper one at the local grill/hardware dealer. It is a flatter finish, more of a satin I would say. Also, there was some imperfections in the finish. It's hard to describe, but there was a small area of what would be orange peel if it were paint.

non at my lowes. I like it though.

I'm hoping Weber will make the 26 1/2" in a different color than black some time. The copper color looks great.

I'm guessing that Weber is recycling the Target copper kettles that didn't sell.

That's a nice color.

I stopped at a nearby Lowe's this morning. They indeed had the Copper Performer & 22.5" OTG on display.
It was more of a Satin Copper finish. It does stand out from the crowd. The copper color is close to the copper gassers.
I noticed imperfections in the display models around the vent holes. Looked like a pinhead sized bubble exploded.
The Performer tag also said "Plat Copper Grill". LOL
What's Plat??

 

[Bob Correll]

"What's Plat??"

Probably Platinum, the one with gas assist, the Gold doesn't have it.

What's Plat??

The full tag says "Weber Performer Plat Copper Grill", so I'm gonna guess the "Plat" stands for "Platinum"?

Ahhh... I bet your correct.
Makes sense.

I bought one from Home Depot online and had it shipped to the store. It is definitely a dull finish. Mine arrived chipped and missing the handles and thermometer. I returned it for a refund. I'm not a fan of the new finish.

 

[Karl Freienmuth]

Missing the handles & thermometer??
Really?? Wow!

howdy. I bought a copper OTG two weeks ago and i am very pleased with the shiny finish. the pic here is a great representation - better than the weber website image. go ahead - get you one and smoke it in soon.

don't lift the lid-
