copper

Sorry to hear about Hunter, always hard to lose a pet...
The copper looks great though, my favorite of the new colors.

First off, sorry bout your little buddy.  I lost my cherished dog about 2.5 years ago...it sucked horribly.  Still miss him today.  It does get easier, but always focus on the good times.
Second, sweet grill.  I'm pretty anal about the condition of my grills too, but those light scuffs don't look too bad though.  Just enjoy it and cook the hell out of it!

Hunter looks beautiful, so sorry to hear about your loss.

Sweet...Looks just like my Performer.  Be gentle on her...she's a beauty.

[blksabbath]

Sorry about your cat.  That sucks.

As far as the scuffs, I had good luck with one of those "magic eraser" pads on my copper performer.

Had to put down our little puggy Pug last year. My wife's dog for 14 years. We have been together 9. She had developed a brain tumor and was loosing control of her back legs. We knew it was time when she was dragging herself around but you could tell she wasn't quite there. It was horrible. I cried like a little girl at the vet. First pet I had to put down. Sucked big time! I feel yea bro. My heart goes out to you.

Now...for the scuffs on the copper. Are they 90degrees from one another? If so, then the way it's packaged in the box nesting in the bowl the lid has contacted the grate tabs during shipping. Those crappy white foam spacers don't do a very good job of securing the lid in place and you get funky scuffs.

YIKES!  that kinda gouge would have put me over the edge!  Checked all over and it's just that one L shaped mark and two small ones just south east of it.

[MINIgrillin]

There were 3 of those

@Grizz, here's another option.

Bring it in to Home Depot, which currently has the copper Performer on display in some stores. Tell them the situation and ask nicely if they'll swap it with the demo's lid.

I can't speak to the specifics but I'm pretty sure I saw a guy do exactly that with a new Weber gasser's lid, and the HD guy of course had to help him detach the lid from the demo unit.

[MINIgrillin]

Might wanna try that first before weber CS. Just so they don't get suspicious later. You might get the "you ain't using it right" lady

That copper looks really nice with the metal table.  Hunter was a great name for a cat! 

[Grizz]

Yeah that was the name he was given by the rescue folks that trapped him up in maine.  He was a semi-feral but just the nicest cat that you ever would have met.  I know a lot of people don't get cats and right them off as not having much of a personality, but this guy had the sweetest disposition I've seen so far in an animal.  And he knew how to work that to his advantage and would put on what we called the Puss-N-Boots act (referring to Shrek) with the big watery eyes routine.  one in a million.

Sorry to hear about the cat Grizz... That grill is sharp. Lovin' the new tables more and more. May want to replace my current C&B table with that one someday. I wish someone had a pic of it done though!

[Grizz]

Well, weber got my pictures and they are sending out a replacement lid!  You guys weren't lying that's some top class customer service right there.

Sorry to hear about Hunter.  It will be a sad day when my Hobbes goes.(He is 14.)

Glad to hear you got everything straight with Weber.
