At this point, it isn't about us. It's about sucking money from the "foodies" that need to have the latest, greatest gadget.
As for polling this forum... that's a complete waste of time. Most of us are complete cheapskates that will burn 100 bucks worth of gas to drive around and find a 30 yr old kettle for 30 bucks, then bitch about a new weber kettle for 150 bucks. Problem is, it's not Weber's fault. They made a good product many yrs ago that works fantastic. It's hard to improve on that. Sure, new colours, different handles... etc, etc.
Unfortunately, we are probably less than 1 or 2 percent of the market. The vast majority are gonna go to Home Depot, Lowe's or Walmart and buy a black kettle, whether the original, premium, or perhaps a performer... and then go home and cook some burgers or dogs...that's it. And that group is probably a small percentage of those that will just buy a cheap gasser...
