Can anyone tell me anything about this?
« on: July 05, 2015, 04:57:55 PM »
Thanks to Indy82z, I was recently able to purchase a grill lid for a Smokey Joe that looks like a football helmet (mine is specifically a Packers helmet but I have seen the Titans, Browns, and Broncos online). It fits the grill perfectly and is really freaking cool in my opinion. The seller mentioned that it was part of a Miller Lite promotion and it does have a Miller Lite sticker on it but no other branding. There are no signs of it being made by Weber. The handle is made of wood but doesn't have any marks or logos on it. Have you guys seen these before of have any ideas on what it's from? Any info is appreciated.
Also, I decided to "upgrade" it today. I removed the old wooden handle and added a Weber Jumbo Joe handle. I also replaced the vent with a Weber vent. There were some slight changes needed but nothing major. The vent isn't curved the same as the original but it seems to work just fine.

Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

I just came accross this on craigslist this morning. According to the seller, these were promotional items that were not sold in stores.
