Crimson SJ? I want one of those too...

[tattooedant]

yup me too..

I looked, Toronto is only about 9 hours from me...if everyone chips in for gas, I'll go, grab a bunch, load up the van, and bring them back.

Definitely on my to-do list when I head to Montreal this summer.  $C47.99 isn't too steep.

If anyone figures out how to get them I'm in for one. Keep me updated please.

Where can I get a look at these Crimson SJ's?  Could someone post a link please.

I did an online chat last night with someone from that Canada site about buying one and having it shipped to my house (I pay shipping because I knew they wouldn't do a free "ship to store") and they basically said, "No can do".

I'm going to stop by the local HD today and see if i can sweet talk the pretty lady who works at the service desk to work some magic for me.    (cough, cough)

I was thinking about going to my Home Depot also,I don't think it'll work but its worth a try.

Somehow this crimson SJ is different to me than the other 'euro' colors.   I don't think they offered those euro-colors in Canada.

Also, since they sell the Crimson OTG here in the US, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Crimson SJ suddenly show up here as well.  Heck, for all we know there is a couple of trucks loaded with them headed for an Ace hardware distribution center as we speak!

Again, I don't understand Weber's commitment to keeping these products out of the hands of possible US buyers.    There are so many kewl colors in other parts of the world, but not us.

The European market does have its subtle differences than the US. My wife who works in the fashion industry, both in US and Europe, is always telling me how the vendors in Europe won't even buy stuff unless its in some new sleek color. So companies who want the business, make what the customers there demand. I'll bet that Weber has done their market research and realize that a black kettle doesn't sell very well in Europe, so they make them pretty. Sorry Marty...

I have access to a forklift. Send that truck my way and I'll take good care of it. Haha

This is true. I dug up the following stats from an old post:

The BBQ market in the UK is unlike that in the US. Women almost account for the majority of grillers: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/barbecue-man-toast-women-grab-2392753 and the average family that own's a bbq is in the 75th percentile of the income distribution: http://www.marketresearchworld.net/content/view/51/



That's quite different that the US.

It looks the same as the euro one to me.
