Stars & Stripes Kettle

[John Burns]

Hi everyone!

We've been working on a really unique new kettle over here at Weber HQ, and it's finally getting ready to launch.

It will be sold only at Walmart, and it's based on the old Bar-B-Kettle design.



Here's the link to find it on Walmart's website.

Cool!

 

[Brenda T]

Well that's pretty cool! 22" only, I guess?

 

[Ross W]

Wow I would love to play with those dampers but not sure I would want to clean the ash out lol.

 

[Anthony Spitzer]

That is a cool looking grill. Love the 3 daisy wheels on the bottom. Fair price too!

Yup, 22" only.

That's what I thought too!
I lasted about 10 minutes after John posted - mine will be here Friday.

@MarkCuda , looks like you may need a "Stars & Stripes Kettle" mod to your Performer. (pic of MarkCuda's SSP below)

I am having a tough time not doing the same. I'm afraid I would be locked out of the house if I did. No way to slip that one into the lineup on the deck in place of another one and not having it noticed.

Wow that is awesome!! If I had room I would order one.
I can’t imagine that won’t be a huge hit at that price. Nice work John.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Will it be released with other models? Or just the plain Jane model? I like it. At $150 I imagine that will fly off shelves

 

[Chris Allingham]

I never would have guessed we'd see this kettle become available.

I would love to know how this came about- particularly being
a Walmart exclusive. Who approached whom?
