Oh man!..............That 26inch Kettle looks even better than I thought............Chris, Greatly appreciate your status with the Weber Folks to bring us all this data........It's prbablly taken years to develop the kind of relationship you now have with the Company.............

The charcoal holders in the 27 look like they are for the 22 kettle. I hope they fabricate new larger one to fit properly.
 
That just totally made an awesome start to my weekend. I cannot wait until I am able to purchase the new 22" WSM. Actualy my B-day is coming up along with Xmas a couple of months after. Oh boy it is going to be a great holiday season here in the northeast.
 
Four points of clarification:

Kettle shown is a prototype as production has not commenced.

MSRP 299USD

Officially known in 2009 Weber sales literature as the "26.75" One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill"

Cover will be available and sold separately

Have a great weekend everyone.
 
Great pics of the kettle. Looks pretty much like the same lid holder set up I have on my Master Touch. Very cool indeed.

It's going to be tough to explain to the wife why we "need" the bigger kettle and WSM when there is just the two of us.

While in True Value Hardware in Avon, CT this morning, I mentioned to a sales associate that I had heard that Weber was coming out with a larger kettle, and asked if he knew when it would be available. He stated that he hadn't heard anything about it, but that he would ask his manager. He went up the stairs to what I assume was an office, returned three or four minutes later, and stated, "all I can tell you is that Weber has not announced it to us."

Based on that rather inscrutable response from a Weber dealer, I don't know if I can expect to see a 27" kettle under my Christmas tree this year . . .
 
i went to a gold dealer? and mentioned about the kettle and wsm. the guy kinda looked at me. i repeated it and mentioned this site. then his eyes got kinda big. he went and mentioned it to his boss. got a kinda negative reaction. told him to remember the guy in the wheelchair told him first.
 
It is a tradeshow in where merchandise and travel providers exhibit. "Incentive" is a term where companies reward employee's performance or if it is media-top advertisers with merchandise or a trip for two all expenses paid etc. to wherever.
