I have a Weber Performer Deluxe that works just fine, but it’s old, it doesn’t seal tightly enough to kill the coals, there’s no probe port, no "Smoke Hole", and no "Easy Spin Grate," like the SNS kettle, plus ecowper and Panhead John and others keep talking about how much they love their’s. Today I decided to add it to my Christmas list, and this is what pops up on their website:
There’s no mention of when they’ll be back in stock and no way to get on a list, so I guess they’ll be out for awhile. Even the left-handed version is sold out. Gentlemen, please take a bow. Your work is done!
Tis why I got mine when I did, cuz, I just wonder what the cost will be when they come in. No reflection on Dave, but a reflection on the state of things as everything is goin thru the roof Alice.
Hang in there Sid, I’m sure it won’t be long before they’ll have some in stock. Their customer service is second to none! I’d give them a call tomorrow and see what you need to do to get you one. Plus…..they have a real live person who answers the phone! 😱 None of this push 2 for this and 3 for that crap. Example: After I’d put my kettle together, a few days later I had a question about a part I wasn’t sure if I installed properly. A very nice and helpful lady, didn’t catch her name, answered the phone. I told her my problem and asked who I could speak with about it. She said "I can probably help you with that". I then told her what I did as far as the part and where I installed it. Turned out I did it wrong and she patiently answered all my stupid questions and told me how to correctly install it. Wow! How many times have you had a problem with something and #1…A live person answers the phone? #2 How often is it that the person who answers the phone is able to help you? Don’t worry Sid, they’ll have some in stock soon I’d bet, just hold on buddy!
