Newer model OT Platinum

[LightningBoldtz]

Well, I have somewhat resisted getting one of these.  I don't like the lid setup for one but it was on CL with a brand new set of charcoal holders and cover for $90 so I did it.  What I do like is the cart, I am not able to put my craycorts in them and clean them without making the kettle wobble all over the place like a 3 legged one.

I am going to have to call weber and get a couple of new slide aside rollers, the person who had it previously let a friend use it and probably used an entire bag of charcoal because they were all melted.

There was one locally not long ago with a cover for $100.  I had to resist like there's no tomorrow, but I probably shoulda grabbed it. 
If they'd use that style frame for a 26"er, I'd be on it!

I think they have a bummed wrap around here, I wanted to see what others thought.  The lid is definitely going to be different.

It is much taller than a regular kettle.  Should be interesting.

I make a wood handle for this grill if your interested....

[LightningBoldtz]

Not sure this will be a long term keep.

BTW Brian, amazing job on the one for the mid 60's grill.  I am painting the wheels at present but soon I will be putting it back together.  I can't wait it is going to look fantastic.  I will post pics when it is done.

I'll stay with the single table style thanks.

You will get used to the lid in a hurry. As long as you don't need to take the lid off completely....lifting it back is very simple and maybe even a more natural motion. I love mine and the sturdy stand is the main reason I got it.

Nice score for what's probably a pretty rare model. The lid is the thing I find most interesting about this model. I've never seen one with the lid positioned back and can imagine the lid gets out of the way best of all the kettles save maybe the Ranch. And I do like the wide handle.

I was hoping One Touch Platinum was going to post on my post about a One Touch Platinum.

Nice score! I'm still kicking myself for missing a maroon like this for $75 a few weeks ago. I love the cart!

We need staunch proponents of each and every type and style, color & era.....this is a good thing.....

I have nothing of value to add but can not resist saying that I can not stand these things.  I think that is the " bum wrap" LB mentioned, but it is just personal preference in the end.

Hi LB! Be proud of your grill! It sure it will last a long time with care and can produce just as good food with the rest of the weber lineup. Given the choice, I'd much rather have that OTP than a regular gold, but when releases the OTP was $$$$. I think that's the biggest reason why they get a bad rap. They were basically selling it for close to performer money.

[bryanw21157]

 Personally, after using the performer and having to get used to the sideways position of the lid when "out of the way", I wish that they had designed the performer like the OTP. 

Like others on here, I missed buying one on CL. 

You have a great grill and it should serve you well for many years !

I like that handle position much better to be honest. Looks great and I would snag one at that price. Though this is the first time I've ever seen one of those!
