Never keen on a Ranch till now!


 
Wow. Shame we can't get them in colors for us regular folks. I absolutely love my Ranch Kettle though. It has produced for me some of the closest to offset results (and I do mean a true offset Custom smoker costing two and a half times as much) I have ever gotten. They really are amazing grills, and it's a shame more people don't consider them especially since they work quite well with the sns XL basket.
 
I want to give a big shout out to our hardworking team at our Huntley, Illinois factory for making this Glen Blue Ranch Kettle. I received a request from the head Grill Master at our Grill Academy at Weber HQ to see if we could make a pair of these and then worked with the manufacturing and enameling teams and they knocked it out of the park!

Hi John! We would have to enamel them in China in order to make them in the classic Weber red. This is due to the US environmental regulations pertaining to the hazardous waste byproduct disposal required. The classic Weber red color requires cadmium in the enamel formula, which is safe once applied, but you end up with hazardous waste byproducts. We'd much rather make our kettles at our Huntley, Illinois factory, but that unfortunately means no classic Weber red kettles.

Would be grate to see the regular mastertouch colors available on the 26. I know the grey was recently added, but any plans for ocean blue, burnt orange, ivory, etc on the 26? Or even another limited run like the 26 glen blue?

Hi Allen!

There's no info pertaining to immediate plans for a different color 26" Master-Touch, but I'd never rule it out.

The 26" is a bit of niche model, and colors make things even more niche, so there's not a great business case for making one. That said,, I love putting out limited edition models and the 26" Glen Blue was one of my projects. I think you just gave me an idea for a poll.
 
Sad to say, I just today saw what happened to the price of Ranch Kettles. Yikes! A $700 dollar jump.

Makes the deal I got on my never used one last year even more of a steal, and made things more dangerous for anyone hoping to physically steal it.

That price jump is insane! I was in the market for one. I'm just going to buy an Offset from a different manufacturer now.

See if you can stumble into a used one my friend, or get ready to really do some research on finding an offset of a proper size, construction, and that can be tuned to minimize hotshots. It will be just as if not more pricey. If I had the money, I'd put in an order for a Patriot Pits Freedom 94, but such is life
