Has anyhone heard a rumor....

lol yea me too - maybe it's the $2000 model

I think some of us, myself included, are so used to quick eye tests we can give our beloved kettles that we're having a hard time even envisioning a new form factor.  When you've been looking at the same sillothett for 60 years...

If this is more of a Komado style cooker like some of the more creditable reports seem to indicate then it's probable it's not a typical bottom 22" or 26" bowl being used.  Maybe more of that egg shape?  Just thinking out loud.

If this grill has been built from scratch, why even have the leg sockets?  You can see this is mounted on a cart with the wheels in the background.

Probably for the same reason every Performer since 1990 has had leg sockets, just take a kettle off the line, add support tabs for the table to it and drill holes for the lid bale. My '92 even has a front handle loop, unseen unless removed from the table/looked at from below.

Then again, if this is a unique, double-wall bowl, then the sockets were added only for the ash catcher.

Wonder if they'll offer any colors other than blaik.

I'm also thinking an egg shape would make things difficult with the One Touch cleaning system which still seems to be present.

Like ATS mentioned They could easily be sharing bowl parts from a performer as they like to do that sort of thing. No new grate sizes/models that way either. Perhaps just the center section is double walled?

... Or maybe it's a fake image by Weber to throw us off :p

Do any of the Summit gassers auto light the fuel, like a gas stove? Turn knob, get flame, done. That would be a worthwhile addition to this or any gasser IMO. Why press a separate button?

[SixZeroFour]

The Summit gassers have an integrated igniter that fires when you turn it on. It's called the "Snap-Jet Burner Ignition System". You can also launch things into outer space using the same system

That's kind of my point.  We're all speculating here, especially about size and design.  The ash catcher pic makes it appear this will be a 22", and not something completely build from the ground up.  I'l guess we'll all find out tomorrow!

[addicted-to-smoke]

I hope there's a 22. That's still a great overall size and should provide some commonality. And it increases our chances of some interesting parts upgrades to ours, right?

On the road all day tomorrow. I'll be burning up some data for sure.

I hope the tool set that comes with it includes their new spring loaded burger spatula.

  I'm personally not a fan of the OTS in a smoker application I prefer the zonal control of daisy wheels.

Flux capacitor depth charge port?

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"

Are we thinking along the lines of a Caliber Kamado?
