I ordered my Red Limited Edition via Amazon.  The first one was fine as far as where the one Touch Dusten mounts and the leg sockets but had a dent in the lid of the rim and missing porcelain.  Returning it for another one couldn't have been easier via Amazon.  A few clicks and I was done.  UPS picked it up the next day.  I did manage to forget to pack up the ash pan and haven't heard anything from Amazon about that yet.   A few days later my second red LE arrived.  I gave it a thorough inspection and deemed it to be a good one.  I happened to have a match set of handles, lid vent tab and bale rollers so I went with those during assembly.  During assembly I didn't notice a scratch on the lid vent but wasn't too concerned.  That is easy to replace plus in trying to remove the lid vent tab that comes on it I managed to add another scratch.  This is going to be a cooker so I'm not worried about scratches in the vent.  It's not like that is going to cause the porcelain to fail. 

Anyway here is my round 2 Red Limited Edition Rock the Red grill.  GO CAPS!

Lid from first grill


Lid vent scratch before I added another on the second grill.   (I would just leave the vent tab it comes with in there.  That sucker is in TIGHT!)








Wanted to see how the cedar handles looked.  Not bad at all.

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

I really like the pics of these outside with the other redheads in the lineup.  Really shows the contrast and variation over the years.  Congrats Mike.

@zavod44  - It's like I new this grill was coming when I ordered all of my Caps handles a few years ago!!!!!  Glad I still had an unused set sitting around!!!!

Thanks everyone!

@Neil_VT00 - All of my grills made it unscathed.  Had to get a bigger moving truck to be sure they all fit.  Was able to load them all up without taking any of them apart.  Just waiting on Weber to respond to my warranty for my new in the box copper premium @AZRaptor snagged for me on clearance in AZ the weekend before I moved that had a dent in the lid.

Looks nice! Can't wait to put mine together now. I just got home in time to put away the replacement bowl I got today before my wife came home.  Finally putting together mine this weekend when wife is not around.

LB is correct! It is a beautiful grill. I am glad I got one.
