Got two new SJs these past weeks from an epic WKC trade. One was a long time grail, the other its perfect partner. I love this place!

They just came out with Crimson red SJs in Europe and Canada, so keep your eyes open for them! In fact HD in Toronto carries them.

Awesome! ;) I have beat on a lemon grass and a spring green.... :)
Hey Tattooedant,
That beefy handle on the Galley Que could be used to carry the grill around, but that small slot in the metal swing handle was meant for a special bracket (from Weber) to fit into there. That bracket in turn was meant to clamp to a pole off the side of the boat. The grill was secured by this at the metal handle and the kettle itself stayed level while the boat rocked back and forth.
Here is a photo of that bracket

Here is what its supposed to look like when mounted up.

Those galley ques are very cool looking with that dome on the bottom. Is the handle stainless steel? It does look very beefed up.
OH, thanks for that Jeff! That makes perfect sense. I see you're rocking both of yours in the pics. I may need to hit you up for some dimensions on that bracket...currently looking for a boat to mount it on... 8)

Anything you need...just let me know!
tattooedant, those are a pair of great-looking grills. The non-U.S. grills don't get much play here, so they intrigue me. You mentioned HD in Toronto; I briefly looked instead at amazon.ca but only saw "regular" models. Seems odd that the home team can't support more colors, but I suppose we never really did overall.
Nice looking SJs, tattooedant!
I am curious ... How many members believe that Canada is part of Europe?
Well, we are not. We do not get the European colours up here. In fact, we're lucky if we see anything other than black.
I have been lucky enough to stumble upon a few red kettles, and a blue.
Sorry for the short rant ... keeping my eyes peeled for some coloured kettles in the GWN. :) 8)
Nice grills. Don't forget to hook the cable to the lid.
I've actually been kicked out of Canada!...High school, Quebec, couple of cases of Bradors, and several trashed hotel rooms later, we got a personal escort to the border..ah, good times...
Otherwise I be traveling to these stores:

Amazing score tattoo! Either one of those would be a grail for many folks here and you got them both. Nice work! :o
P.S. Thanks for the tip on the 'crimson' SJs!
Thanks Tattoo, I would go for a crimson sj.
