Matt, or SixZeroFour in the forums, is the latest member to join the Statesman team. Hailing from Canada, eh, Matt found the site in 2012, but didn’t join up until late 2013. Although he’s been active on the site for less than 12 months, Matt has made a significant impact on the site and the…
Thanks to a friend of our site, WKC member Craig has obtained screenshots of a previously undocumented Weber catalog. Prior to now, few had only seen a tiny snippet of this catalog on the site but now for the first time, we have the full catalog complete with a the actual catalog year, full price list, and a couple of key facts and changes that were…
The best charcoal grill available has gotten even better! Weber has improved their Performer charcoal grill for the 2015 year. Gone are the ‘cheap plastic’ tables that many complain about scratching, staining, and cracking. Weber has ditched the glass reinforced nylon table surface and replaced it with a hammer finished enameled METAL surface. The new…

On behalf of the WKC please join us in an experimental eCook this Sunday Sept 7th! With all the fantastic local events taking place (mostly thanks to connections made on this site!)
