Spring is here!
« on: February 23, 2017, 10:16:56 AM »
Had a package show up on my doorstep today.



My Spring Green 18" ordered off Amazon.de



I opened it up and all looked good.



Shinnnnng! Look at that sparkle. It was pretty interesting. A lot more accessories included (drip pan, charcoal rails, charcoal measuring cup) than the US models and it has a lid temp gauge.

Should go nicely with my C&B performer.



Now I just need to get my wife out of the house long enough for me to bring this, and my recently acquired flat top 26" out of hiding in the basement, and get them put together. [emoji35]  Man I feel like such a puss.  ;)

It was on backorder when I ordered it on 2/7, but once it shipped it took about 3 days.  It was unbelievably quick.  I paid the extra $8 or $9 for expedited shipping, more for safety (less stops) and I'm confident it was worth it.

That's kind of where I'm at too. If it's mixed in with the rest it typically gets ignored. It's when sees a new one show up...

Looks Great!  I think your wife is definitely going to notice that one.  Wait til she hears you ordered it from Europe too.

I think I'll keep that little detail just between you and me and all the other WKC members.  If she ever got on this site, I'd be toast.

Congrats! If you don't mind sharing... how much did it run you?  Can't wait to see pics of it fully assembled... and being used!

With shipping, about $155 US.  They've since gone up to some ridiculous price.  $212 Euro without shipping if I recall.  With shipping that would be approaching twice what I paid.  The only other color that seems to be a decent deal right now is the ivory, which is on backorder.  I was seriously considering it.  Must be strong.  >:(

Looking good!!!   Deal with the issue when she brings it up down the road, but for now enjoy. Cut up that UPS box and hide it till the garbage day. She may not notice anything.
