E6 with cart or not?

[Brett-EDH]

Here’s a real world pic for ya. The leg protrudes less than the handle.

Is there anyway to change the mount configuration so the tripod leg is in the rear? That way the front would be flush?

negative. each leg's position mounts to a specific spot.

i'm 6' 2" and i have zero clearance issues reaching/approaching/accessing the cooking grate when cooking. and it's not like you'll be in a static position. you'll need to move around 40% of the grill's front, depending how and what you're cooking, so you'll be able to access veggies, meats and other items you're grilling.

if you have a dickie do (where your belly extends further than your dickiedo) you'll be doing more of a dance to assume a side stance to access the grate. but that's more on you than the grill, its legs, and the leg position(s).

I'm 5' 8", and also have no problems maneuvering around the front leg. As Brett pointed out, the lid handle protrudes more than the leg.

There's a good reason you don't want to put the single leg in the rear: the force to open the lid against the spring tension would have a tendency to tip the whole assembly to one side or the other. I think Weber knew it and designed it this way to eliminate the risk.

My E6 has two fixed wheels and one castor at the front.
Because of the wide track it is not as manoeuvrable as I would like.
I might change the fixed wheels to castors at some point.

what's the production date on your shipping box, if you still have it or grabbed a photo of it?

I didn't. I don't remember if it's on the serial number label, but I'll have a look.

should be on the large SN label, which has the model number and carton weight.

Surprisingly enough, the box was still in the cardboard bin. Date was 9/29/21.

Thanks again everyone…..The real world pics sealed the deal. Now I just need to order it and go get it. It’s costing me a tennis bracelet apparently. Ugh. Wife has more jewelry than she can wear. Which is why she said I have more grills than I can cook on. LOL.

Well...since she's getting the tennis bracelet...you may want to add this too.....

Hold off on that bracelet until she tastes the delicious food. You may be able to distract her.

Seriously, you're going to love it. I didn't believe the praise until I got one; it isn't "just a big kettle", it's a completely different machine and a joy to cook with.

This....I absolutely LOVE LOVE my S6 and the cart/space....would not give it up for anything...that said, I needed the table space and have very limited options for adding one, so in my case, the S6 solved the issues...albeit, at cost!!

That said, I am pretty sure I saw someone that figured out how to do casters on all 4 corners, and I am going to figure out a way to do it this spring...it is the one thing I wish they had done from start.

Please let me know what you find out!! I asked Weber about it during one of my 167 calls to customer service and they told me "no, and if you do that, it voids the warranty"

 

[SSmith]

LOL….yeah, my grill addiction caught up with me. Oh well, as long as she is happy.

I already have a spare SNS, sitting in my deck box. Will add it. Just got done with this…on the ol performer.

Smoked Hoisen wings from Weber cookbook. We love them.

Sound like not a perfect solution the way is was done here.....

21st June 2021

It's a European model (no idea what the differences are) Part #. 18201004

 

[Gary London]

If you look at the U.S. Owner manuals the latest models have 3 castors, manual dated 30th Dec 2020

The previous manual dated 5th Nov 2020 had the two fixed wheels.

Must have listened to customers feedback about poor manoeuvrability with the fixed wheels.

My UK manual is dated 7th Jan 2021 so there is a difference over here.
