If you are interested in industrial design, you can see a bit of what went into the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill and Grilling Center at ChoiDesign.com
Move along...nothing to see here.
Update 2/10/2017: Today I received a friendly email from CHOi Design stating that they are taking the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill information off their website. The email also included a link to this post and asked that I remove the two images I had posted here and delete this post entirely. One of the images was a design sketch of the Summit Charcoal Grilling Center, the other a computer rendering of three Summit Grilling Centers showing different design treatments of the storage area on the right side of the grill. Each of these images was posted on their public-facing website as examples of the excellent, innovative work they have done for their client, Weber-Stephen Products LLC.
While it is my view that, from a journalistic standpoint, I was within my rights to include those two images in this post based on fair use as defined in Section 107 of the US Copyright Act, it's not my intention to pi** off anyone or invite possible legal action. So while I have decided to not delete this post, I have deleted the original design sketch and the computer rendering.
My intention in posting this information was to help you see some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into bringing us these new Weber grilling products that we know and love, and to celebrate that design process. Apparently CHOi Design or Weber or both would prefer that you not know about their working relationship.
