Title: Char260??
Post by: steviesandwich on July 31, 2017, 10:15:38 AM
Never seen (or heard of) this unicorn before (UK eBay):

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WEBER-Q-Range-CHAR260-REAL-CHARCOAL-BBQ-outdoor-grill-cooking-not-gas-barbecue/182694106056?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

I can't get there to find out, so any intel (or UK interest)?!

Best, Steve

There was a Charcoal Q offered stateside a few years back, don't think it's offered currently.  They pop up on CL from time to time, or depending upon where you live, you may still find one NIB at an Ace, TruValue, DoItBest or local, independent hardware/outdoor supply store.....

Further Google suggests DE or CK only! Shame really, looks interesting
But thanks!
But unlikely this side of the pond!

They were heavy, expensive, took forever to cool down
and really not much different than cooking on an Outrider.
The composite frame was ill equipped to to handle the
higher temps generated by charcoal vs. gas.
