That's very cool!

I'm liking the lid 'storage'.

Dude, relax your chicken.

Had one, now in another members care. Thanks though, it was always a mystery. When I sent the picture to Weber, they said somebody fabricated... Was not made by Weber.

No, no BS. The patent says not only for gas, but charcoal and electric too.

I'd like to be cooking on it    8)
