Wow, I never knew that.  Ironically, I have an SJG here that needs a charcoal grate, and also need to place an order with them sometime soon for some other items.   Hmmm....
Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.

My second post on this thread - that bone color is very, very cool.

Does anyone know if that style of charcoal grate is also used on the 22.5 (57 cm) models?  If so, I have to get a couple.

Love the bone too - would love it even more in a 26.75! I've seen these in my travels abroad too, and next time might have to carry one home for myself. Of course, you could always pack more than one, but the ride to the airport may be kind of slow:

Now THAT is an awesome score! Nice to see what Weber can do, but kinda sad they don't do it here. Of course, they only retail for $35 here, so I'm not too sad.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm hoping this keeps up....she earned her keep this month.. 8)

The one huge advantage we in the US have over the International markets is the price. Weber grills are very expensive in most parts of Europe. To put it into perspective, last week I think the euro was almost $1.30 US. That grill, although brand new, cost 95 Euros, which is about $130 US. A black one in the US costs $30. Although they have cooler stuff, they pay the price.

However, that cool charcoal grate gives me an idea. If they come in larger sizes, I can totally have my wife fill a suitcase with several of each size. Who's in?

If anybody is interested, I have a person willing to ship the euro color smokey joes to USA.

Joe+Shipping will be $200 USD.  PM me if you're interested.

I can totally understand the price difference with the US dollar being so weak over there.  UK and Switzerland are the worst for exchange rates. I once spent about $45 on 2 McD combo meals in Geneva so I can only imagine what the 22.5" MT costs over there.

And don't forget shipping costs, taxes, lower volume, etc.

Very nice pick up! I love that colour. I have a blue wave one sitting in Edinburgh at a friends place that I hope to pick up in the next few months. Might have to see about getting a bone one.
