I hope I'm not the only one looking at all the teaser pics and reading all this speculation and my first thought being that I can't wait for people to buy this grill, decide they don't like it and put it up on CL...

I can see it now "bought it for my husband last Father's Day but he says it takes to long, going back to gas grill. Make offer"

We can only hope!

I'm totally going to retrofit that vent hatch onto something.

I've been trying to guess why the exhaust would need to be able to flow so much air. Maybe the thing's a hybrid; cook with gas also.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Maybe we are going to have to throw a couple bucks in and have a drawing for one lucky member.  Unless it turns out to be lame and no one wants one.

Most of the egg style cookers have a top vent cap thing that comes totally off.  I'm guessing weber thought it was a lot cooler to put a hinge on it.

That's why I hope there's a smokestack accessory. Part of the Weber Style line of course.

This is the most revealing photo to date IMO! At first I was kinda disappointed to see the ash bucket collector system, but if you look closely at the the cutouts @brettbrown mentioned you can see a small dot above each setting (smoke or grill). I would imagine the lower vent setting is done manually and then you program in your exact temp via the built in ATC...



Which is pretty damn cool...

Unfortunately the teaser is of a 22.5 bottom... but who knows, maybe a 22 and a 26" model?!? Only a couple more days 8)

So it will do everything?


Can this new Weber core a apple Chef of the future?

Bad news. No pics tomorrow. I just spoke to my Alliance Dealer. They were originally told they will arrive tomorrow. They have now been informed they will ship tomorrow. The will definitely have one one hand by Saturday for the demo.

I am as in the dark as you guys regarding the new Weber, however, I know with 100% certainty that our tester Max Good at AmazingRibs.com has had one for a couple of weeks now and his review will publish tomorrow.  Yes Weber is spilling the beans at that time anyway, but Max has put it through its paces and will let us know how it compares with everything else at that price point.  I do know he's pretty excited about the whole thing!
