I can't handle the handle

I can't stand it anymore. I LOVE Weber charcoal grills. I LOVE their quirky Customer Service.

But I cannot stand the taco handle. It just isn't right. It besmirches a lovely work of American Art and Design.

Therefore, I feel it is incumbent upon me to start

The He-Man Taco Handle Haters Club!

Who's with me!?!

Take the TH-MTHHC oath:

(hand over heart please)

"I, (state name here), a member of good standing of the He-Man Taco Handle-Haters Club, do solemnly swear to be a he-man and hate taco handles and not play with them or touch them unless I have to and especially never fall in love and, if I do, may I die slowly and painfully and suffer for hours or until I scream bloody murder."

I'm in. Weber history is now divided into two eras: BT and AT. The closest I've come to owing a taco is my 26er that has a mini taco mounted to a welded handle. But never a bolt-on taco for me. As a designer, I feel the profession lost a little credibility the day it was introduced.

I do have a taco on the 26 but I haven't seen a non taco 26 come available in my area.

I don't care about a taco, but I dont own a taco. Therefore, I'm down with pre taco.

For the older gentlemen here, "Down" is urban slang for "this is the side I choose"..

Not a fan, but will have a Topper. Will be the only Weber I buy new.
Still need a 22" yellow

You find it an aesthetically-pleasing addition to the kettle? If so, the irony is sweet.

I am also not a big fan of the taco handles but do own many due to new colors. Weber will never go back to old welded handles but older handle strap that can be bolted would be nice. Even better if they can offer us purist a metal handle (MLH) that can be bolted would be nice.

I'm obviously slow. Lol. I know this thread but  why are we calling this the topper? I didn't read all the post throughout.

Topper was the Weber mascot in the 50's. He is going to be featured on this grill.
