Oh boy, it's on the truck right now sloshing through the ice and snow and hopefully not delayed by weather for another day. Hope it's not damaged in shipping. I already have my ribs ready and waiting in the fridge! Going to alter my rub, charcoal and smoke for a little out of my wheelhouse rib flavor, wish me luck.
I'll get some pic's up later when the real fun starts happening.
Ribs are a good first cook on a new grill. What grill did you end up going with?

Love waiting on a grill to show up

Can't wait to see whatcha got!
Alright..... it's here, and the box doesn't look too bad. Probably not damaged in shipping but what's the odds I'll have factory flaws?
It doesn't really matter to me a lot. It'll be red and it's supposed to change color when it's spitting fire so there's a real good chance I'll be happy with it.
I'll be smoking with Cherry wood on this baby, fitting for the color on the first cook but have never tried it before. Any tips for time and intensity of smoke? My three normal flavors are Hickory, Mesquite, and Apple for reference. Thanks all.

you will love it
Cool! I second, you will love it. If you've been around here very long, you know I love mine and use it a lot for all kinds of cooks. Let the grilling begin!
I'm pretty green to this place, barely made it in before the cutoff. Been grilling on Weber's for a while though. When I found out this changed colors like my buddies old one, that sealed the deal!

I've got a picture somewhere that illustrates the red going to a much deeper shade when I was cooking pizza. I'll try and find it...
She definitely darkens up when she's hot.... before and during shots. Anyway..... have fun!

Dude! That's so cool.
Mine probably won't do it tomorrow, it's only supposed to be 7° at cook time, ugh.

Well, the lid is perfect, time to get building!

So jealous.
My new kettle is enroute for delivery next week. It's not a limited edition like that beauty but still can't wait.
Too bad it's so cold right now in Canada but it gives me something to look forward to. :)

Congrats on your red LE!
Hooray! The finish was almost perfect! Only had a very minor bit of black showing on the bowl handle.
Definitely a little lighter built than my '05, but it still looks and feels like a nice quality grill. Was hoping for "P" shaped bottom vents but no luck, wasn't sure what it would have.
Just need to spit shine the thing and I'll probably paint my hub caps before they go on. I'm REAL close to not cooking on it, just leave it out for display in the house. Lol

Congrats on your new LE. It looks great, and it look as though your copilot agrees!

I wouldn't worry about the black showing thru on the bowl handle. It will be just fine.
Let's see your first cook. Get it dirty and some thin blue smoke rolling.
Cheers
Get to cooking on that beauty !!
Looks great, congratulations!

Thanks Thundermtn, I just ordered one (from Kroger). I got a 15% discount using SHIP15 on my first order with them. I should have ordered a cover for it and gotten 15% off that also, but I was too fired up about ordering the grill. :P
Looking good! I second, no worries on the black showing at the handle. These are totally coated in black porcelain, red on top of that so you're good as far as metal protection. Ribs are calling!

Love my LE red. Not used so much since I got my GB but still in the rotation. Now it's time for you to dirty it up with some food. Have fun and keep grilling.
Are these really available? I'm in the US. I have one but I banged the lid on a metal chair while cooking and porcelain shot everywhere. Not a huge deal but I put a good quarter size chip in the lid rim. It was my pride and joy. My wife said thank god it wasn't her that did it.
I've been looking around for another one used but they always come up high priced. Would love to score another new in the box. My wife says we have enough kettles but I don't think so. My LE got me back into Weber and signed up for the kettle club. Many people complain about them but I have a certain love for them. It's an amazing looking grill.

One member bought a new one recently online from Ralphs which is the Kroger family of stores so Food 4 Less, Dillions, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, King Soopers etc or just go to kroger.com they all have it for $159.99
That's where I got mine, there's a discount coupon too but I was in too much of a hurry to check my inbox for stuff. Pretty sure mine shipped out of Ohio, had it in less than a week including a snow day when the truck was parked.
I might not cook on it, as it was 99% flawless. Plus the wind chill is -17°, with a blizzard warning today, supposed to be 15-25mph wind and 8.5" of snow. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Well, it's a red kettle day for me! Just got my new limited edition red and I can't find any defects - Yea! I hope that anybody that wanted one has already ordered it, because it was listed as "unavailable" on the Kroger website this afternoon. I may have snuck in just under the wire.
Congratulations, she's a beaut!! Have fun......
Right on! Congrats!
Very nice. Congrats.
If anybody wants a red (or green) grill, Uline has them for $180. They're the Weber® 22" Premium Kettle™ Grill, not the Master Touch - but they're still red!

Got it rolling smoke today, needs WAY less charcoal than the 26". Lol
