Title: Blue WSM
Post by: ClubChapin on April 13, 2016, 05:28:57 AM: Would love to pick one of these up in blue. Must be a euro color. Hopefully they will release blue in the us.

Funny I watched that video last night and if I could find a 18 or a 22 in blue I would buy it right now. Wish my dealer could find me one of those.

Post by: AnotherPintPlease on April 13, 2016, 11:23:26 AM: Thanks guys...I'm really lucky to have the blue. She is absolutely beautiful and always a conversation piece. As far as the back story, at some point it went down the line as a limited run, sat for a long time, and then was given to me by a friend at Weber. Because it IS such a unique item and Weber doesn't sell it (yet? future? I dunno..) I now, post SCG work, keep it on the down low, except on APP.

Cheers!
Mike

Post by: bladz on June 15, 2016, 06:00:51 PM: It's not. I made one about a year ago. Well...had one powdercoated about a year ago. :)

Very cool, @bladz. How's the finish holding up?

Post by: Travis on June 15, 2016, 11:54:37 PM: That looks good. How did you do that access door? The cross hatch marks.

Very cool, @bladz. How's the finish holding up?

@pbe gummi bear, I haven't cooked on it since it was painted. :-[ Where I used to work I could get anything powder-coated at no cost. When I picked up the 22" I thought what the hell, if the finish comes off I'll just get it redone. I plan on just using it for low temp smokes when one comes along.

@Travis, that's the door that was on the smoker when I bought it a few years back. It's a 1989. The guy had a giant thermo drilled into the lid. I took that out and installed a Weber thermo.

That is the multi million dollar question, which it seems, Weber wishes to ignore. I'm pretty sure that if Weber started selling, in the US market,
all of the colors they produce, their sales would triple at the very least..

@Travis , I believe that's how the doors were on earlier models. My WSM knowledge is very limited.
I was able to see @LightningBoldtz 's latest WSM acquisition (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/wsm-weber-smokey-mountain/pimping-my-$40-wsm/) in person. We were commenting on how different the door looked. Also, an "L" code.

Post by: Travis on July 12, 2016, 03:56:28 PM: @MacEggs. I have no knowledge of wsm' at all other than one or two I've seen at a store. Thanks for the info!
