sorry, trying to figure out photobucket. the subject was suppose to be Copper is here. That photo is of my man, Hunter, who, unfortunately, I had to put to sleep last night due to kidney failure and colon issues. So, that puts a damper on my copper deluxe arriving today, but here's some photos (hopefully)

is it possible to buff these out? it wouldn't bother me so much if they were on the backside of the lid but they are facing right at me when I'll be grillin and I can't stop looking at them!
Sorry to hear about your bud.....the little ones are the hardest to walk thru....... :'(
Not sure on the scrapes.....Matt (SixZeroFour) might know about what's a good idea there.....
@SixZeroFour
Hmm, you could definitely give it a bit of scrub with steel wool and water to see if that will take it down. Otherwise call Weber if it came like that new outta the box and they will more than likely help you out.
Great looking performer Grizz - congrats. And sorry to hear about Hunter :/
And Grizz, you can also modify your posts here after the fact, pix or text including subject line if you want.
Sorry to read about your bud.
Give Weber a call concerning the lid. They may ask for a picture.
thanks guys, been a rough day to be sure...sorry no pics of first grill....chicken and shrimp for the missus and strip steak and lobster tail for me....asparagus tips all around....didn't come out to bad!
Sorry about your cat but nice pick up for sure!!

Spend some time just thinking of all the good times.......unsolicited advice, but it helps...... :)
Sorry about your cat but love the copper. I agree with everyone else, if it came with the scuffs call weber and send them some pictures. They should be able to help you out.
Sorry about your cat. He was a beautiful animal. The copper looks really sharp.

Man, that's fourteen sons of bitches to loose a pet. Bad , bad thing. Condolences.
Sorry about your cat, I had a Black Lab for 11 years and that day came, hard to deal with. The Copper is growing on me more and more, Congrats!
I too had to put down a fur kid, very hard to do for sure. Nice looking Copper Performer as others have said some soapy water and 0000 steel ool don't buff that out call Weber they will fix it or you.
Thanks for the well wishes. Definitely appreciated. I'll try the steel wool thingy. Emailed pics to the weber folks the other night. Think I'll break out the roti tonight....
Sorry to hear about Hunter, always hard to lose a pet...
The copper looks great though, my favorite of the new colors.
First off, sorry bout your little buddy. I lost my cherished dog about 2.5 years ago...it sucked horribly. Still miss him today. It does get easier, but always focus on the good times.
Second, sweet grill. I'm pretty anal about the condition of my grills too, but those light scuffs don't look too bad though. Just enjoy it and cook the hell out of it!
Hunter looks beautiful, so sorry to hear about your loss.
Sweet...Looks just like my Performer. Be gentle on her...she's a beauty.
Sorry about your cat. That sucks.
As far as the scuffs, I had good luck with one of those "magic eraser" pads on my copper performer.
Had to put down our little puggy Pug last year. My wife's dog for 14 years. We have been together 9. She had developed a brain tumor and was loosing control of her back legs. We knew it was time when she was dragging herself around but you could tell she wasn't quite there. It was horrible. I cried like a little girl at the vet. First pet I had to put down. Sucked big time! I feel yea bro. My heart goes out to you.
Now...for the scuffs on the copper. Are they 90degrees from one another? If so, then the way it's packaged in the box nesting in the bowl the lid has contacted the grate tabs during shipping. Those crappy white foam spacers don't do a very good job of securing the lid in place and you get funky scuffs.

YIKES! that kinda gouge would have put me over the edge! Checked all over and it's just that one L shaped mark and two small ones just south east of it.
There were 3 of those
@Grizz, here's another option.
Bring it in to Home Depot, which currently has the copper Performer on display in some stores. Tell them the situation and ask nicely if they'll swap it with the demo's lid.
I can't speak to the specifics but I'm pretty sure I saw a guy do exactly that with a new Weber gasser's lid, and the HD guy of course had to help him detach the lid from the demo unit.
Might wanna try that first before weber CS. Just so they don't get suspicious later. You might get the "you ain't using it right" lady
That copper looks really nice with the metal table. Hunter was a great name for a cat!
Yeah that was the name he was given by the rescue folks that trapped him up in maine. He was a semi-feral but just the nicest cat that you ever would have met. I know a lot of people don't get cats and right them off as not having much of a personality, but this guy had the sweetest disposition I've seen so far in an animal. And he knew how to work that to his advantage and would put on what we called the Puss-N-Boots act (referring to Shrek) with the big watery eyes routine. one in a million.
Sorry to hear about the cat Grizz... That grill is sharp. Lovin' the new tables more and more. May want to replace my current C&B table with that one someday. I wish someone had a pic of it done though!
Well, weber got my pictures and they are sending out a replacement lid! You guys weren't lying that's some top class customer service right there.
Sorry to hear about Hunter. It will be a sad day when my Hobbes goes.(He is 14.)
Glad to hear you got everything straight with Weber.
Awesome performer! I love the copper grills.
