Title: Beautiful new ivory weird mark/stain ?
Post by: hoochiemama on July 04, 2019, 04:31:01 AM
I was fortunate enough to be gifted a wonderful new ivory by my lovely wife!  I love it. Very strange though during the first cook (not when assembling) there appeared a very odd green mark. It is smooth to the touch and does not want to scratch off. Just tried with finger nails.

I have no idea. It was assembled then covered outside then cooked ribs. Only noticed it about midway through the cook. Any ideas what it is?

I would send photos to Weber for warranty.  It is either something really simple like it needs to be wiped off with something, or it is a mistake that they will hopefully correct.  I think it is too noticeable to ignore unless you just really like it because it is unique.  If nothing else you might get a back up lid.

Exactly my thoughts

Looks kinda like slate and spring green.

Filed a warranty claim. Let's see what happens.  Definitely seems unique and I was also thinking it looked like spring green too. Just very confused how it showed up after a couple heats. Anyways hopefully if nothing else the mystery will be solved.

It could have been a spring green splatter on the lid and then it went through the ivory. It makes sense that it would bleed through and color changes are known to happen with heat.

I would keep it as back up. I try to be careful but they always get banged, dropped, or scuffed. When you have a new color grill and it happens you want to cry haha.
