Stars & Stripes Kettle

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Having thousands of spare blue and white parts laying around seems unlikely to me. Differences in the white color may be due to how the blue bleeds through the white, or different whites being used on each part.

My take is that it’s not as cool as the one I saw at Weber HQ years ago, but I understand the limitations in trying to do this affordably in mass quantities. I say good on Weber for doing something fun and different!

Yes Chris, a prototype is often much more carefully finished since they are, obviously, pre production.
The manufacturing process is designed for speed with a little more latitude with respect to color.
I think it is a very cool kettle, I don’t have room for one but, I like it! There is a hot air balloon quality that I fine appealing!
Daisy wheels? Of there was a way to clean more easily I’m absolutely in! Temp control is so much more delicate. As I said before, I started with daisy wheel vents and they were just fine!

I seen this a couple weeks ago and thought maybe. Then I seen it was a daisy wheel design, I bought! Doing the burn off today finally. (Still waiting on handles from Brian. He is swamped with orders because of this grill!)
