Does anyone have any experience ordering from C&B?
Never really heard of them

[Bman]

C&B is a higher-end store.  I wouldn't think twice about ordering from them if I needed/wanted to.  Just kinda bummed their local outlet store closed as it was less than a mile away.  Now, the full store is more than the allowed 30-California-minutes away.  lol

I'll be a few blocks from the NYC store in the morning. I'll try to pop in a get a picture of one if they have it setup.

C and B has done colors in the past that weren't available before, the gray and the green. So I wish they had gone with a different blue. Now that would really be cool. Not that this blue isn't cool.

[bthorn9435]

So this is more of what you guys would call the standard blue?

 This is not the standard Blue ~~>

Yeah, they weren't sold. Only given away as promos..
Sure are purdy blue..

...................but it might be the Blue you seem to be looking toward.......

I've been getting a bunch of PMs about the pics I took at the Annapolis C&B. The best I can describe the color is lighter than navy blue and darker than royal blue. I can see a hint of purple. The kettle looks different in different types of lighting.  I cannot tell anyone what pic best describes the color since all monitors are adjusted differently. What I did today was buy a can of Pepsi(yuck!), drove back to C&B and took pics of the can next to the kettle. This should give you an accurate example of the color.

Nice work. I've been meaning to take my red MT lid to do a side by side at my local C&B too, but haven't had the time yet.

This is getting ridiculous but good work, hatch!

I was ready to reassemble the crooked lid thermometer while I was there but I got enough stares from the employees when I was taking the pics with the Pepsi can. The Kettle pizza kit was also assembled wrong. They had it setup for an 18" Weber.

 " lighter than navy blue and darker than royal blue."

It's not quite Wedgewood stove blue either......it is darker than most older ones...........

Personal thanks to all that have helped with this endeavor, I am about to make the purchase here in a few. Any last words? Anyone
wanna talk me down from the Performer ledge? One good thing is I can get here Red from C&B for 54 bucks, ironically that's the same they
charge for ground or 2nd day. Don't understand it but what the heck I'm not gonna complain.
