Foreign finds
« on: October 04, 2013, 06:15:22 AM »
Hit the Dubai Garden Center today (it's the weekend here) and picked up a couple warming racks. They had some other stuff you never see in the states, and of course colors. The one I thought was "Dune" is called "bone" and is only available on the SJG. Still, a favorite color. Too bad it's $92 here! Anyway, here's a few new pics to perv:




Great view from my room. OH, and the tallest building in Dubai is cool too.

A warming rack would be so nice to have available here... why is so much available OUTSIDE the US, isn't Weber a US company? :(

FYI, prices are really scary here. Over $700.00 for a 22.5 WSM! $625.00 for a Performer, and over $4,100.00 for a 6-burner Summit.

Holy crap those are all awesome! How much were those lights Marty? I may be keen on a set of each color if they're not too much.

I did not pick up any tea lights, much as I would have liked to. At $60 a pair for the SS version in US dollars, well, you get my drift. The black ones were a little cheaper, only $55!  :o

Thanks for the pictures Marty! I would grab a light blue 22. How hard is it to bring a 22 back on the plane? Will they ship here? Maybe we can work something out with the owner? The discount might offset the shipping a little.

Those are like Canadian prices ... just kidding.  :o They're not that bad up here.  :P

Great pics, Marty! Thanks. I like the colours of those 22s. They look like they might be Euro MTs? I dunno ..  ??? ???

Seems to be the same as the SJ lime we see, or the C&B lime from a while back. The copper is like the Target color we've seen before, and the blue is called "wedgewood". Wish they still made the MT style kettles in the US, the ones here are nice! I did notice that most of the kettles were date coded from a couple years ago, so it's possible colors and such will change here too. I have a few more pics I'll post when I get home.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Marty! It never ceases to amaze me the raw awesomeness that is the Weber showrooms overseas.. talk about a toy store..
