Copper kettles available!
« on: February 13, 2014, 04:10:54 AM »
I was at Lowes last night and they are selling copper colored OTG and copper colored Performers.  Guess the new line for the year is out.
Copper colored Weber OTG, Black Weber OTS, Copper colored Weber E310, UDS, and a wood burning pizza oven.

I've saw one of the Copper OTG's at the local Lowe's as well,, not sure I like the matte finish myself..
I always expect a beautiful glossy finish when I think of new Weber kettles..

Yes, the finish on the ones at Lowes is not as nice as my older copper kettle.

Yes, I totally agree with everyone here. Weber really messed up when they switched to the dull, matte finish. When they first announced this color, I thought it would be like the previous version sold thru Target stores. I shouldn't say this, but I will: I hope no one buys these in the hopes that Weber will quickly get the point and go back to a glossy shine finish.
This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

I'll be the guy to say it.....I dig the matte color. Kinda wish they put it on the black kettles for the rat rod kettle look. The dull copper is kinda cool. Maybe weber could bring back shiny copper and do the dull black.

Thanks Harris....I though we were going to have to resort to pencil sketches at this pace

Thanks for posting the pics of the Crimson.  I was planning on ordering a Crimson Performer Platinum through Ace Hardware, but was having a hard time doing so without seeing one first.  I also just saw that Nebraska Furniture Mart in KC has them in stock.  I guess I'll be making an hour drive in the near future.

Shit, they both look pretty nice to me...
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

The picture of the copper looks a lot shinier than the one at my lowes.  Maybe it was a crappy job, or maybe they never wiped it down?  Good to see the others are better.  The crimson looks good too.  I dont have that color, hummm....

I wonder how long it will be before someone puts one of the new performer colors into a ss cart?

 The power of suggestion, eh?


Usually not too, too opinionated on this kinda stuff, but the cart that Copper's in looks sort of....how you say.....yukky?
