It could be a good thing I refinanced my house, and don't have to make a February payment...I'm really curious.  If it was a remade Westerner, it would help put 2020 in the rearview mirror.

As much as we would all love to see a new color option, I'm guessing it's going to be some piece of tech - since they bought June a little less than a month ago. - sad trombone

If that's the case, I'm excited. A spring green WSM would be pretty kick ass too.

If that's the case I better start sweet talking the wife NOW!

If it was a Spring Green 22 WSM that would be a hard thing to pass up given I have the Spring Green 22 Kettle.  I have mostly not bothered with WSM because between kettles and stackers it hasn't been a necessary buy.  If they did the Sprng Green 22 WSM it might be more necessary...

I hate to be the bearer of possibly bad news, but there were images several months back of a portable gas grill that folds up that they were looking to release that has never made it to their website yet.  I guess we will keep our fingers crossed.

Hoping for the euro GB MT...

1) is probably the GB MT 22 which is currently available in Australia
2) some tech oven thing to do with aquiring June
3) spring green wsm

Holding out for bird feeders, mailboxes, or bug zappers.  Make them grate again!

I like the way you think!

Anything yet? So far I'm not seeing anything new this morning.

Kamado, traveller and smart grills

Well that was a letdown.  Smart gas grill and gas camping grill.  Yay.

Yeah it kind of was.

I'm into Weber's for charcoal. The traveller looks too huge for backpack camping and most drive up campsites have some sort of grill there already. This one seems off the mark. Maybe tailgating, but you can bring real grills for that.

Booo!

Interesting ode to the past that the new grill was called the "traveller".

That should sell out as fast as the 26" Glen Blue.

As soon as you go through all the trouble of finding a retail store or a WKC member in Europe that can agent and ship the 22.5" Glen Blue Master Touch to the U.S. for you, not to mention after you've spent close to $500+ USD

on the total +shipping. ...Once you get that tracking number... Weber releases the GB Master Touch in the U.S. the following day! That's the way it always goes. I guess Weber has a policy, "If it's made in the U.S.A. for export, You can't purchase it in the

U.S.A.!"

Lol.  They're trying grab a new demographic and new buyers to the brand, I am sure. 

An Weber "regular " customer already knows about a "low tech" Smokey joe or go anywhere

I like the look of the traveller, a bit more sleek than the Coleman Road Trip grill, which I've used camping with a friend of mine who has one...however, it is $80 more expensive than the Coleman.  I could care less about the smart gas grill.  I get the idea with both products, but as I've said before, I'm afraid Weber will become the jack of all trades, master of none.

I was hoping I was wrong about the announcement being the Gas Traveler.  They have recently updated some things though.  Looks like Smokefire Gen 2, Pulse electric grill, Smart gas grills, and the Traveler are the newest editions.  So far nothing in terms of charcoal grills.  Might check back later today, but not getting my hopes up.

I think the "big reveal" was the smart grills in general. I am surprised the traveler isn't even on their main page you have to look for it plus it's not available. I am not seeing what is smart about painting more of it black and including a thermometer that is mounted.

I dont mind the changes as I am not their target market for this stuff anyway just let down by the fake suspense.

Knock a 100 off the traveler and I would think about it tho...

Edit: the suspense was real it was my expectations that failed. Interested to see how the thermo units hold up.

you have been let down before, you will be OK

The "big" news are the new smart gas grill models.

Tough Crowd; As a long-time Weber Charcoal Kettle user I am now interested in purchasing my first "gasser" and hope the "Traveler" arrives here in Costa Rica in the very near future.

Don't get me wrong the design on the Traveler is kinda cool and I would buy one over the Q Series if I had to get a portable gas grill, but I don't see much of a point in it. 

I mean the CGA easily covers any needs I would have with traditional burgers, brats, and so on that I would normally cook on the road.  And the Blackstone Griddle (I have a 22 inch) is far more functional for smash burgers, veggies, toppings, and especially breakfast as far as a portable gas grill goes.  A griddle will probably be the only gas grill I ever own if I am honest.

I really can't understand why this hasn't happened yet.  I mean the SJ is popular overseas as a lot of people keep them on their balcony and etc., but I feel like most people in the US gravitate to the CGA for all of small grilling needs.  Heck even the Jumbo Joe would make more sense as color kettle over the SJs.  Personally I would still build a midget 18 or find an Outrider before going with a newer Jumbo Joe, but that's besides the point.

As high is that markup is on a vintage color GA they could easily mark up the standard CGA ($55) to well over $100 and all of us would happily pay them until they flooded the market with several colors like they have with the SJ

As a camper, the new Traveler is intriguing to me. I kind of want one for Scout camp. Though I would love to see an Ocean Blue or Smoke colored WSM.
