This is very cool. When i was at Weber they didn't have any examples. When i did the 18 and 22 designs, I had to start fresh with the 14. It would be interesting to see how close I was in positioning the door opening and grill strap relations.
The water pan of the 14 was actually the top half of the weber torch that was made at the time. That wasn't being made in the late 2000s, so i tried a few from the Dollar Store and a partial stamp of the newer Weber torch. I still have one of the few remaining 2006/8 prototypes and use it every so often. Another was taken home by a guy in the machine shop so he could use it to burn documents and mail??
The other 4 were shelved because Weber thought like the first time, they wouldn't sell very well.
That's an excellent example. Congratulations.
