Title: It's an Euro Invasion!
Post by: dwnthehatch on November 16, 2014, 10:03:55 AM
Blue Wave and Bone Smokey Joe Premiums from Italy. AU vent stamp. It appears that the vent codes aren't accurate there because the BW is marked 2011 and the Bone is marked 2010 on the boxes. The charcoal grate bars are spaced much tighter than US versions.They both came with a plastic charcoal holder and have the silver "grease tray heat shield" found in the 14.5" WSMs. QA isn't that great either. The sealed hardware packs were missing a few flat washers & lock washers in each pack.

^^^This.  And I wouldn't mind having a couple-few of those charcoal grates, either.

Excellent scores! What is the story behind them?

No interesting story. They were picked up during a business trip in Italy for me.
