Good news and bad news...

[DWCowles]

The red limited edition Weber Kettle was delivered Friday and I have been to busy to assemble it until yesterday. After I finish the assembly it took it outside to meet it’s relatives and that’s when I notice how poorly of a paint job it had. The red paint was so thin in some spots that I could see the black primer. Needless to say I disassembled it and took it back to Home Depot. 😡

Now for the good news.

A friend of mine called me to tell me about someone he knew that had a brand new Weber Performer still in unopen box. So I went to look at it and he was asking $150. I would have paid that price in a heartbeat but I wanted to tested him. I offer him a Benjamin Franklin for it and to my surprise he accepted it. 😊

So I brought it home and got it assembled. So here’s a pic of it with some of its relatives. It hasn’t meet its other two relatives (the blue Performer and the WSM) yet but it has plenty of time to meet them. 😂

Awesome deal and congrats! I've seen a couple other reports about problems with the finish on the new Red limited. Sorry to hear that you did also.

[Pirate Scott]

Sweeet! You never know until you ask.

[SoCalTim]

Awesome! This post should have been titled 'Family Picture'

I'll give you $200.00 for it. Double your money. Just the kinda guy I am, always helping.

[Huskee]

What if I sweeten the deal for you and throw in free shipping and a bottle of bourbon? [runs away from Deedubs who's throwing rocks at me]

[HouseHomey]

Huskee Geeze.. we are just trying to help out. Duck!,

[Mr. Bones]

Glad things worked out to th' Positive side, DW!
I am sadly disappointed in what little I've heard 'bout th' new redheads...
Hopefully, this is jus' an anomoly, an' not th' new direction...
I have a '69/'70 'Patent Pending' Redhead, finish still largely intact.
Fer $199.00, I'd like my grandchildren to be able to say th' same.

Do you feel any guilt?

[DWCowles]

Nope

[Oakgrovebacon]

Just checking- smoke on! Enjoy the new Webber!

[Jerod Broussard]

I'll be severely disappointed if I don't see a cartoon with DW calling for help with his cell cause he can't find his way out of his pits. Forget a corn maze, set up a pit maze.

[Huskee]

Great idea!

Nice picture of The Family. Is that the picture you will use on your Family Christmas Card?

[DWCowles]

I don't do Christmas cards.

[Spinaker]

Hahaha

[FireMan]

That is great news. About the bad news, I wonder what’s up with Weber & their paint. You aren’t the only one.

[Nate]

Some guys have all the luck!

[HawkerXP]

You have a nice collection their DWCowles

[Spinaker]

Awesome!! And that PK looks great too!!

[Dadof3Illinois]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[lonnie mac]

Man that PK DOES look great sitting there Spinaker!

Really sad about the Weber. I have heard quite a few stories about the porcelain job they did on these things. You would think that if it is a limited edition, man, they would have gone over the top making sure they are perfect in every way.

Just yesterday I was watching Justin talk about his... I thought I really wanted one.

[lonnie mac]

OMG brother!! I have not had time to fly mine after the floods. I still have it packed up somewhere. Only had that one birthday flight to date. I have the DJI care plan also. I have heard it works out pretty good. Let me know how it goes!

[lonnie mac]

Got an email today about the new Mavic in teh snow-white color. DANG I am such an apple fan boy!

[DWCowles]

I got the same email. I can barely see the black one when get in the sky. The white one will be invisible to me.
