Weber patent illustration

Doing a patent search on the grillmaster and ran across this , early design for the performer maybe , I thought it was cool .

[dazzo]

That's very cool!

I'm liking the lid 'storage'.

[Idahawk]

You should make one

[Idahawk]

I'm guessing they realized the lid was kinda in the way ?

[glrasmussen]

You should make one

Had one, now in another members care. Thanks though, it was always a mystery. When I sent the picture to Weber, they said somebody fabricated... Was not made by Weber.

[dazzo]

Ah, I remember that picture. The kettle gasser.

[Idahawk]

Well I guess you can call BS on that now , lol

[dazzo]

No, no BS. The patent says not only for gas, but charcoal and electric too.

I'd like to be cooking on it

Greg was there room to hang the lid like in that drawing?

[Jocool]

So that photo is legit?
