Under the ruling, Weber will no longer require consumers to use Weber parts as a condition of remaining under warranty.

This is part of a larger FTC initiative to encourage companies to drop rules that would void a warranty if third party repair shops or parts were utilized.

That's the FTC, Fed Trade Commission, not the FCC, Fed Communications Commission. Wondered why the FCC would have anything to do with grills...

Is the MPLA?
Or is this the UDA?
Or is this the IRA?
I thought it was the UK!
Or just some other Country.
Another council tenancy...

Finally, I can get my kettle’s wheels rotated by my own mechanic!

Bbqmikeg LOL! As long as they don't look under the hood...

We can’t legally let you put charcoal in that grill until you buy our wheels…

Finally, I can put some 20's on my copper 22.

So does this mean if we take the legs off and set it in a table the warranty is still good?

[RichieB]

So I can stop using Weber charcoal?

So I can stop using Weber charcoal?

I still have 2 bags...I am holding onto them for god knows why, but I can't bring myself to use them yet.

They were the best briquettes I've used, including blue bag, B&B, JD, and a few others.

[Bbqmikeg]

I still have the sample box of Weber briquettes they mailed to me!

[zinfella]

Weber has not given me any briquets, and I could let that grate on me, but decided to just put a lid on it.....
