One of the options on the table - think of H. Simpson logo placement....Quote from: Jet300 on March 23, 2017, 06:34:45 AMQuote from: harris92 on March 23, 2017, 05:27:24 AMCurrently, not one of the options..."I am also guessing that if logoed will be on the handle or on the taco shell somehow."So you're saying it's going to have the logo printed on the lid in some fashion? Forgive me if I should know this, but is this "Topper" cartoon guy a part a Weber marketing from the past?

At the end of the day, who gives a s#!? about tacos or bolt on handles. It's gonna be FRIGGIN BRIGHT RED! For the first time in 18 years. A new kettle from Weber in Red!! Only question I have is how did they swing the environmental aspects of the red porcelain? Maybe worked out a temporary deal with a disposal contractor? Who knows! But I'm pumped!

But I'm pumped!I had the same question. I am thinking they have come up with more environment friendly red porcelain composition similar to all auto manufacture going to a water base paint. I hope not, but very possible the red porcelain will not look anywhere near the bright Red of past. Maybe thin finish like on a Slate or even not really bright in color. Lets hope not.

I'd be honored if he's going to be featured on the lid of this beautiful new red.
Option 2 -less prominent Topper on the bezel. Most of the "Bobs" like this option best. available early Q4....

Pre-orders are now because it is not being made here (Far East). Made there because of environmental issues for the bright red finish. I would pre-order..
Yes, thermo bezel.Quote from: Jet300 on March 23, 2017, 07:22:04 AMQuote from: harris92 on March 23, 2017, 07:14:32 AMOption 2 -less prominent Topper on the bezel.
