Any news, scuttlebut or views on whether the Limited Edition red kettle, currently available on Amazon.com, will be sold in Australia?
-
I'd say no, not enough demand and they already sell the Crimson
-
But crimson isn't Limited Edition red. Surely Weber Australia would see the point in celebrating with the rest of the Weber world and getting into the spirit. That said, I take your point about it not being worth their while. I still feel the pain from when Weber Australia marketed a Genesis Gold without key features sold on the US version. I wouldn't want a cheapened version of the LE even at double the normal price. While we are at it, why is the Australian version of the Weber Performer sold without a major key feature ie the gas ignition system?

Because gas approval from AGA costs more than $40k

Wow.

Will it be an original premium kettle or a master touch?

I'm sure it will be a combination of the 2, same as here. Long legs and bowl of the Mastertouch, but without the char baskets, gourmet grate and half rack
-
In Europe the red limited edition is a master touch

Hi @aussie_freak any feedback on which kettle Oz is getting (US vs Europe vs something else). Thanks for your news by the way. Cheers, CG

Not only is the Europe RLE a full blown MT, it also comes with the SS GBS grate. You can be pissed about it... but it costs almost $400 here.
For that much money you would think it comes with a free jar of vaseline... nope, you have to bring your own.

Thanks for the link @Bertl but it’s the Hunt that turns my crank. I’ll wait until they show up 2nd hand and rescue one before I buy it new.

Just spoke to them and said they carnt confirm date yet but are def coming soon. They presumed it was the euro model but not 100% certain. “I’ll no more once they arrive soon” she said.
