I am a Euro now

[Winz]

Hi all,
Recently relocated from Arizona to Switzerland and am starting to settle in.  I liquidated my weber kettles before I left (thanks @jcnaz ) except for Bisbee, who was disassembled, cleaned, and carefully packed in storage.  So when I arrived in Switzerland, I needed a kettle.  A search of the local weber site:





Needless to say, the Glen Blue caught my eye.  It is a 22" master touch.  The Master touch here is basically the same as the US models, however the wheels have a much better design (in my opinion).  After doing a bunch of searches, and watching videos of @Troy reviewing the 26' glen blue sold in the US, I decided that was the way to go.





The 22 MT in Glen Blue is a limited edition kettle for sale in Australia and Europe.  In many countries it is sold out but there are a few left in Switzerland.  I don't speak or read French, but I managed to navigate through the website to buy it.  And yes, it was expensive.  Webers here are roughly 2-2.5X the US price.  I am finding, in general, everything is more expensive.





Got it home, put it together (can't remember the last time I assembled a "new" Weber), and am ready to do some cooks!  While Switzerland may be an expensive place to live, the views are really breathtaking.

I think that view is worth 2.5 times the cost.  Enjoy!

Wow, what a view/location.  Great hearing from you Winz. 

For those of you that don't know who or what "Bisbee" is:

I will get the party started.  Below is a summary of Bisbee.  Although this kettle is already in the customs gallery, it has since undergone some significant changes including the installation of real copper panels, replacing the stainless steel ones.

Project Bisbee – Copper themed project build on a SS performer frame

Features:
•   Original kettle removed and frame disassembled, sandblasted, and powder coated gloss black
•   2014 copper bowl and lid ordered from Weber and installed
•   All hardware replaced with stainless steel
•   Weber logo painted copper
•   Stainless steel top and front panels replaced with replicas custom formed from a sheet of solid copper.
•   Koa wood handles for the lid and table
•   Tel Tru thermometer
•   Lid mod to allow lid to be hung on the bale wire for better access
•   Custom wheels painted to match
•   Custom ash pan made from a copper plated pan.  Ash can ring painted with high temp gloss black paint.
•   Propane tank location moved to the back of the frame to partially hide the tank.
•   Copper themed Mini WSM built to match.
