Star Spangled Kettle

[OkieGirl]

My grill was a couple days late, but it finally arrived.
Now I am second-guessing my plans for customizing.

Here I have added the Studio Grill Legs and a Zav handle. I'm...underwhelmed.

The leg is pure white, the grill is off-white. The leg is dark blue, the kettle blue has more purple in it.
The reds are close enough to pass, I think.

The handle is beautiful for the black SJ it was purchased for - but I don't think the wood type looks good on this grill.

I think I may stick with all original on this kettle. My other options would be white front leg and 2 reds,
or all 3 red legs. Or, of course, the standard legs.

Any thoughts?

Great looking grill. I agree with you about the colored legs. The colors aren't a very close match to the kettle. The handle is beautiful but you are right, the wood type doesn't fit. Still. . . very cool looking grill. Well done. Will it be a cooker or for seasonal decoration?

I do like the grill...... do you think they used the Ivory color instead of the white on the bowl?  It doesn't match the stars on the kettle lid either.  Hard to tell the mismatches until you see that pure white leg on it.

I looked at the Walmart site again and I think I like the stock legs and handle better.  My OCD would likely kick in with the customization color differences.

All that said, again I do like the grill and I think it would be fun to have for July 4th cooks.

Looks great! I think I would have to fit an old salvaged handle to the lid though and paint it as I have done with my modern Webers, and spray it blue. Reckon that would look great with some plain wooden logo handles . I am not a fan of the modern style plastic handles with the heat shields but that's just my opinion! Looks great oem and modded!

Thanks Anthony!
I'll probably have to cook at least once, then maybe decoration.
Glad you can see the discrepancies - they are not as noticeable in my pics. The blue leg is almost denim blue in person. Or maybe ocean blue?
I will stare at it for a couple days but pretty sure I will wind up going with the factory look. It's still unique.
Silly of me to think I could do better than Weber! LOL

Could be, I'll have to get my ivory to compare but I think this is lighter. The stars are WHITE, but the blue shows through a bit.

Your OCD would definitely have a problem with this. There is a small dimple in the ashpan and a few scrapes, but I'm not gonna worry about it. It's a $149 grill. 

I agree it will definitely be cool for summer holidays.

Sorry about all the duplicates, I had to go to the computer. LOL

Thanks Tommy! That would look good too.
You are not alone, a lot of people don't care for the taco handle.

Wow! Stunning kettle.
And, yeah, that white leg looks a tad out of place.
The red and blue legs look good, imo.

Yeah it looks like it's in a cast or something, doesn't it? 😄

It's a nice grill, just not my style. Not trying to be unpatriotic, it just comes off being kind of busy, to many colors going on IMO.
