Man that thing is freaking sweeet!!
What country are you in?
I'm in Capistrano Beach not too far from you!
Like many of you here, I got sick and tired of seeing these incredible accessories and grills that Weber makes that are only available in other countries. So, I ordered a bunch of items from Spain and got hosed on the shipping costs (around $55 for the Mangal Grill, warming rack, and some other small items). At least there was no tax, so I was willing to pay the extra money to get these things. Just like I had to pay out the nose to have a Weber Charcoal Pizza grill FedEx'd from Wisconsin to California. I will say that the Weber Charcoal Pizza Oven exceeded my expectations, and from an engineering standpoint, is a much better design than any aftermarket pizza accessories (I don't want to mention any names!) I've seen.
Thanks for sharing! I've seen this in catalogs for a while but this might be the first one i've seen in the wild. Any meat pics? How would you rate the quality on the metal?
I'll be posting some meat pics soon, as I plan on using this thing tonight.
The quality of the metal is outstanding. It stainless steel that came covered in plastic wrap to prevent scratching. The hardware was stainless as well, and more robust that the hardware for any of my grills, smokers, fireplace, etc. That was the first thing I noticed because when the first thing I do when I buy anything these days, is toss the OEM hardware and go get all stainless steel made in USA. Didn't have to with this grill set.
The most impressive thing to me is the engineering (maybe because that's my trade!), but you can see where the skewers are twisted at the end. This allows you to rotate the skewer in any direction and it stays. You can rotate an 1/8th of a turn and no problem staying still. The only thing I found a little surprising is that the lid bale bolts prevent the ring from seating 100% on the bale side of the bowl. It's not enough to make a difference in cooking, but I was a little surprise by that. I may take my dremel and fix this. I would have to notch for 1/4" slots since my 2015 Performer Deluxe has the newer bale with the bolts in a slightly different location than my 2014 and 1999 Performers.
