I've seen this accessory on this site before, but look what Santa delivered early!

Searched Google and found a handful of sites that carry it but they all appear to be in Europe.

With the number of members on this site seeking non US items I wonder if we couldn't arrange a large order and have crate shipped over here. With enough items perhaps the shipping costs could be spread out enough to make it feasible to ship some of these items here.

I'm in Capistrano Beach not too far from you!

Like many of you here, I got sick and tired of seeing these incredible accessories and grills that Weber makes that are only available in other countries. So, I ordered a bunch of items from Spain and got hosed on the shipping costs (around $55 for the Mangal Grill, warming rack, and some other small items). At least there was no tax, so I was willing to pay the extra money to get these things. Just like I had to pay out the nose to have a Weber Charcoal Pizza grill FedEx'd from Wisconsin to California. I will say that the Weber Charcoal Pizza Oven exceeded my expectations, and from an engineering standpoint, is a much better design than any aftermarket pizza accessories (I don't want to mention any names!) I've seen.

Thanks for sharing! I've seen this in catalogs for a while but this might be the first one i've seen in the wild. Any meat pics? How would you rate the quality on the metal?

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Did you say $55 shipping for that mangal set, warming rack, and some other items?
That seems pretty far from hosed to me. :)

I'll be posting some meat pics soon, as I plan on using this thing tonight.

The quality of the metal is outstanding. It stainless steel that came covered in plastic wrap to prevent scratching. The hardware was stainless as well, and more robust that the hardware for any of my grills, smokers, fireplace, etc. That was the first thing I noticed because when the first thing I do when I buy anything these days, is toss the OEM hardware and go get all stainless steel made in USA. Didn't have to with this grill set.

The most impressive thing to me is the engineering (maybe because that's my trade!), but you can see where the skewers are twisted at the end. This allows you to rotate the skewer in any direction and it stays. You can rotate an 1/8th of a turn and no problem staying still. The only thing I found a little surprising is that the lid bale bolts prevent the ring from seating 100% on the bale side of the bowl. It's not enough to make a difference in cooking, but I was a little surprise by that. I may take my dremel and fix this. I would have to notch for 1/4" slots since my 2015 Performer Deluxe has the newer bale with the bolts in a slightly different location than my 2014 and 1999 Performers.

Awesome setup!!
I agree with you on those skewers, the twisted ends are an awesome idea for rotating them 360 on the grill.
You can find them here if you need more

I had heard from an in store Weber rep that he thought that this was to be offered in the US in 2015.  I'm not holding my breath though.  Certainly cool looking!

I received one of these today (from amazon.de).  An interesting thing is that the hardware is metric, not Imperial as all of my domestic Weber bits are.  I've never considered that euro or other Weber items use metric hardware.  I presume if they brought it to the US, it would have 1/4-20 hardware, like everything else Weber that I own.

So any pics of a cook? What have you cooked on it so far?

I got one of these over Christmas ans intend on using it on Australia Day to cook some plus sized lamb souvlaki.

I used mine today.  It was nice, it arrived before I left for work, so I was able to come home provisioned to use it.

I cooked some sirloin and sweet peppers/onions.  Pretty basic.  My cook at the end of this thread ond some others above (different skewer set).
