Weber Kettle Club Forums

I haven't posted in almost exactly four years. Corresponding with my two oldest starting junior high and high school sports. In that time, I've had the opportunity to gather a few unique items.

Spent a week or so in Europe in summer of 22. At a home store there, the sales people were super cool and sold us a Weber emblem brand that was display only. Also gave us a poster/mat. It's about 3 ft across and padded on the back. In the store you could buy a grill with a hinge already attached. Looked to be factory? 

Couple years ago, a client with a woodshop that I helped thru a fire damage made a table for my performer as a thank you.  The wood colors are all the actual color including the orange house. It's called padauk. White is maple and rest is walnut.

Hey @Ted B where in Europe you had been visiting? Seems to me in Germany? Yes the branding iron is original brand and legit. A cool item to add.

We spent time in Switzerland, Italy, and a short time in Germany.  The brand is from Germany.  The sales guy was telling us how in Germany, Weber is not only number one but basically the only one.  The Weber section was much larger than we see here and there wasn't any other grills being sold.  They also had a lot of extra accessories that I haven't seen here.  We picked up an olive oil dispenser and salt/pepper shakers. 

edit:  sorry I didn't realize you are in Europe lol.  I'm in the States for context. 

Ahhh. To have Weber briquettes again.......

I find it strange that it's difficult to get Weber briqs in the US....it's biggest market. We have it by the pallet full here. It's produced somewhere in Europe.

I was given the branding iron as a gift. It sat in a drawer for years, unused. I cut the handle off and nailed the kettle silhouette to my Q-shed.

And yet, amazingly, there are numerous Weber products available overseas that are not available in the good 'ole US of A . . .

Yeah there is certainly something about their marketing that makes me scratch my head. Maybe some of that stuff is just designed overseas? I don't know

After striking up a friendship with a Weber brand manager, I think a lot of it has to do with legal. Some things can be easily done in Europe because of less or different governmentlegal restrictions and vice versa.
