Seriously Weber...this better become one of several thousand pretty darn quick. 

The only thing that has held me back on a 26er has been that they haven't released a color in years.  Doing a glen blue would make it a definite seller and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a black 26.  My ‘09 is my workhorse.  Both of my Aristocrats seldom get the call due to being so colorful.  Glen Blue 26 would be the ultimate.  The only way this color sees production would likely be on a MasterTouch though.  Weber would get my money either way[emoji23]

Either way I will eventually get one, but something like this would make it way easier to drop full sales price.  In the meantime I have kind of just been waiting for the right deal to come along and have plenty of room on the Ranch.  I think you are probably right in terms of it being a Master Touch if anything, but who knows.  There has been a lot of color missing from all of their other kettles.

Agreed. I would save up money to buy a new 26" in that color, rather than continuing my search for a cheap used black one.

+1 on this...ever since I picked up a 09 26er, every other grill has seen less use.  the lid bale, ash catcher, and hinged grates make it just too easy to use, especially on busy weeknights.  As to the "Tuffy Special" what has me most curious is if Weber enameled it themselves.  Do they have the capabilities to just whip up any color on demand?  I suppose I don't know enough about enameling.

I dunno if or when we will ever see the glen blue in production but they sure stirred up some chatter which I’m sure is what they wanted to do

Now if they wanted to boost 26” sales then release a color

But I’m on the conservative side thinking it’ll be a limited edition master touch.

Why not just release one new color ever year?

Where is that Weber Grill Academy located???

North of Chicago - near the old Weber HQ. It's where they train dealers and entertain from time to time. Closed to the public. I've been lucky to visit a few times back when their former CEO was there - an old boss of mine when we were both with Black & Decker. Had a really nice dinner one evening with Kevin K and others from Weber, along with WKC founders Jeff and Brian. We grilled our own steaks in the indoor "kitchen". Kevin and another Weber chef had a bunch of other goodies already made. Basically a fully equipped super ventilated grilling heaven. Plenty of vintage grills to drool on, not to mention all the new stuff. Good times.

Thats a nice one Weber...make one of the most wanted colors of all time and give it to someone who cooks on something that isn't your brand.

FWIW- There is allegedly a copper colored one someone at Weber did that now resides in another state.  If memory serves, they did it to an old MBH but using that copper color that they have been selling for a couple years.

He competes with a custom Jambo pit.   He beat out my friend Tennessee Mojo at Memphis In May last year with it.

I believe they probably enamel over the original.  When I’ve watched videos of how Weber does it, when there’s a colored kettle, the do black first then whatever color. 

I stand corrected.  Very cool capability.

The price will vary based on your imagination.  The grand estimate above was not close (actual is under).  I had the robins egg blue made for much less than it would cost me to buy a colored go anywhere from a grill fella.
