BBQ School has a brand new Crimson Kettle, not the REDHEAD I was hoping for....but redish!.....maybe next year they will bring back the classic redhead!
But is seems that Weber have been listening to me cussing under my breath and the new kettle has one new innovation! Aactually three if you count putting a heat shield under the lid handle and a toy temperature gauge in the lid!....maybe four coz the handle on the body now has enough clearance to make moving a hot kettle less of a burn risk.
The one thing I complain about all the time has been fixed!
Finally there is a mechanism for holding the legs in place so they don't fall out when you lift it up!
There are holes in the legs and spring buttons that locate the legs into the body and lock them in place! Hallelujah! Praise be to the gods of BBQ!
It also seems there is a new system for date/model/serial number??
