Smokey Mountain Cookers in color

[John Burns]

Don't take this poll as any sort indication that we're actually doing this. This poll is purely for my own curiosity. #IworkforWeber

 

[DanHoo]

I would like a WSK in Deep Ocean Blue !

You need to have the color swatches so we can visualize....

 

[Bruno]

Glen Blue

 

[Michael Chen]

We saw a few of these done for Tuffy Stone recently, see the back row.

Yup! I'm the one who worked with the enameling team to have these made!

Glen Blue

I intentionally left the bright, pale colors out since they'd be likely to show more smoke stains. So, no Glen Blue, Spring Green, Diner/Seafoam Green, Hot Rod/Golden Yellow, Rock N Roll Blue, or Ivory.

Makes sense. I do love the idea of nice colors for the smokers

What colors are which in the Chris pic?
I voted Blue. Maybe a true copper would be a big seller too. Burnt orange looks good. The dark red, great. The silver metal ones may really work in conjunction with the setting.

Of course an R2D2 one...

 

[Bruno]

Ocean blue it is.

I'm an odd bird; I truly like smoke stains on my cookers.

I understand the appeal of the very nice deep ocean blue, but in my opinion if you compare the Ace "indigo" it is a more unique and richer color than the deep ocean blue. I am basing that on newer Genesis and kettles I have seen.

 

[timothy]

Vehicles have recently come out with some unique and different colors.
Weber should too.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I agree, Timothy. I am glad, though, for the progress we have seen from Weber in the availabilities of colors compared to even a few years ago. Like the spectrum, the possibilities are almost endless.

The ones in the pic Chris shared are Crimson, Burnt Orange, Smoke, and Deep Ocean Blue.

Burnt orange baby! Shiny though, not dull like Chris' picture.

In order to make a shiny orange, we would have to make the grill in China. This is because we'd need to use cadmium in the porcelain enamel formula to get that bright, shiny appearance.

There are strict regulations in the US pertaining to the use/disposal of cadmium in manufacturing. Its the reason we haven't made bright red kettles since 1999, except for the Limited Edition Red Kettle from 2016/2017 (which was made in China) and I'd much prefer to make the kettles locally here in Illinois if I can.
