Thank you!

They may - but I think they're going to wind up back in the box. Maybe they would look better on a solid grill.

Just for comparison.....These pics from a couple years ago - how the R/W/B legs look on a '75 Statesman.  Not sure I liked them on that grill either... legs and triangle moved from this grill to a Gourmet that needed some love.  I also used a basic Weber triangle I had that was rust free.  I think two red rear legs and the white front leg would look better and more "Bama".

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.

Yes, we did use Ivory for the bowl. #IworkforWeber

If you like the look of the red and blue legs, maybe a can of Rustoleum Ivory spray paint for that stark white leg?

Thanks for the suggestion!
That might work, but i think I'm going to just use the original Weber legs.

It would be cool if Weber releases a Master Touch version like the one on display in the U.K.

Yes it would.
That looks more...MORE. 😄
And more expensive.

Quote from: Tommie on May 05, 2025, 01:54:55 PMLooks 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!

Great minds think alike!  This is my still new handle I bought about 10 years ago.
