    Over rrp and has increased $40 since you purchased? Cant see the bargain.

    • JaxSantiago on 20/09/2022 - 09:36

      Almost impossible to get a Yellow at $799 SRP.

      • Herb Utsmellz on 20/09/2022 - 09:47
        +2

        But does that make it a bargain?

        • JaxSantiago on 20/09/2022 - 09:54

          As I said, it's almost impossible to get a Yellow so paying more to get one will sound a bargain to Weber enthusiasts.

            @JaxSantiago: I guess buying a new car at a premium because they almost impossible to get makes them a bargain too?

              @Herb Utsmellz: Is the "new car" a Limited Edition release too? That may sound a bargain to car enthusiasts then.

  • HotPie on 20/09/2022 - 09:00

    Im a proud and satisfied user of the Weber brand, but that is one expensive kettle.

  • dogboy on 20/09/2022 - 09:05

    That seems like a ridiculous price for what you get. Where is the value?

    • cheekymonkey on 20/09/2022 - 09:13

      only perceived value, if you like collecting them.

    • hotphil on 20/09/2022 - 09:14

      It says Weber on it

    • dav3 on 20/09/2022 - 09:20

      I guess there's value if you're some idiot hipster content creator and need something that matches your old VW Kombi and vintage tablewear when you're doing a video about the right way to BBQ tofu

      Otherwise just get a Kettle from Australia that'll actually get local support.

        Lol you think an idiot hipster can afford this or a kombi? It's all retired boomers.

            • choodi on 20/09/2022 - 10:43

              @Cheaplikethebird: Just like the meme says…get to a certain age and you have to make the choice:
              * get deep into military history
              * get deep into smoking various meats.

              I made my choice, and it sounds like maybe you did too.

  • Overtime2000 on 20/09/2022 - 09:08

    great looking kettle, but damn thats expensive.
    Are these essentially the same as the $500 black ones ?

    • hotphil on 20/09/2022 - 09:13
      +5

      Yes. But these are limited-edition yellow or blue!!!
      Colour is the first thing I look for in a grill.

      • garage sale on 21/09/2022 - 03:14

        color is also something i look for ….preferably black so that you can’t see crap after years of use ……there is a reason black is the normal color of kettles and bbqs ….so you don’t waste your leisure time cleaning them ….

  • Cheaplikethebird on 20/09/2022 - 09:11

    I just don't get the hype on these. Call me basic but a black kettle with replacement wood handles from 'Wood n Handles' looks the best IMO. I get it if you're a collector though.

    This reminds me though, better get on a list for the next GA drop.

    • Dreamcast on 20/09/2022 - 09:25

      A collector? People collect these?

      I'm still trying to determine if I'm reading that price correctly or if I'm in fact dyslexic.

      • he11bent on 20/09/2022 - 09:30

        Yes yes they do. You should see what some people pay for the classic rare Webers

      • Cheaplikethebird on 20/09/2022 - 09:38

        You know the little Weber Go-Anywhere that sells for ~$130? A blue one was released in limited numbers earlier in the year and they're reselling for nearly $1k.

        • Dreamcast on 20/09/2022 - 09:46

          Here I was thinking collecting belly button lint was strange 🤪

          I expect to see a weber for sale on ebay with the good ol "RARE" in the title.

    • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 11:47

      There won't be a GA colour drop for a while.

      The DOB was a mistake shipment.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 20/09/2022 - 11:48

        True. I read a comment that there was a red due out but probably a gee up then?

        • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 12:26

          Yup. Rumours only.

    Deals like this one make me happy as I got a black Weber Premium Kettle 22" from Kogan for $221 in April 2021.

    • he11bent on 20/09/2022 - 09:16

      Yep. Have learned different ways of smoking meat on that.
      I bought the rotisserie for it, makes smoking Boston Butt so much easier.

      • Foma2 on 20/09/2022 - 10:38

        I was walking down pretty much the same path as you did.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 20/09/2022 - 11:49

        You're smoking Boston Butts on a rotisserie???

    Sheer stupidity.

  • mitcheo on 20/09/2022 - 09:57

    not a bargain, and probably warranty issues

  • motlking on 20/09/2022 - 10:09

    other than the anniversary design, is this any different from the ones selling for a third of the price at Costco previously?

    • Foma2 on 20/09/2022 - 10:41
      +2

      As far I can see it has a slightly different grill (with an insert), wooden handle and fancy logo around temperature gauge.
      I really doubt that all this stuff will make your steaks, brisket or pulled pork taste three times better.

      • choodi on 20/09/2022 - 10:44

        Makes for a better view while you sit in front of it for 14 hours with your mates and a few beers though

  • tunzafun001 on 20/09/2022 - 10:55

    There's two down the street sitting out for hard rubbish, and supercheap auto are sending out vouchers to buy some yellow enamel for free…just saying!

    As much as I love Weber stuff, $800+ for a charcoal kettle is a bit much.

  • Bretttick on 20/09/2022 - 11:10

    Any recommendations on a cover?

    • BBF on 20/09/2022 - 11:27

      These bad boys live inside. No cover required.

    • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 12:40

      You're going to take it out of the box?

      Insane.

      • Bretttick on 20/09/2022 - 23:57

        Yes it's out the box, and outside.

        I don't have this exact model, same size and design. Think it was $400 from memory.

        • Cheaplikethebird on 21/09/2022 - 08:53

          Mine sits outside in the elements permanently with no issues. I did use a cover at one point but stopped when I pulled it off after a couple weeks of sitting idle and the kettle was full of mould.

          • Bretttick on 21/09/2022 - 10:58

            @Cheaplikethebird: Mould 🤮🤮

            Not happy with mine, Its only 2 months old and the lid thermo has water inside. I went to bbq place I bought it from, he said they don't stock parts.

            • Cheaplikethebird on 21/09/2022 - 11:11

              @Bretttick: Call Weber Australia, their warranty support is pretty amazing, they'll post you out a replacement. FWIW I would ignore the lid thermometer and grab an Inkbird IBBQ-4T and use that instead.

              • Bretttick on 21/09/2022 - 11:21

                @Cheaplikethebird: Thanks I'll give Weber a call. I don't use the thermo but was annoyed water got inside.

  • mshanann on 20/09/2022 - 12:15

    God I hate the clean-up on these things - admittedly mine does not have the fancy ash catcher. I spend a good 30+ minutes after each use getting all the ash out, dripped fat cleaned up, and grill plates scrubbed back.

    • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 12:40
      +1

      Scrape. Oven cleaner. Hose off. Win.

      • mshanann on 20/09/2022 - 14:35

        Not sure I've got a suitable place in my yard to hose out the over cleaner short of killing grass/plants. Don't particularly want it going out in to storm water either. What's your cleanup time in total?

        • Cheaplikethebird on 20/09/2022 - 15:28

          You can use Simple Green (concentrated version) instead which is a non-toxic/biodegradable degreaser, grab it at Bunnings. Personally I just sweep the ash out between cooks, give it a hose out every 3 cooks or so, then every couple of months give it a good scrub with Simple Green.

        • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 15:50

          I let the Chem soak in for a cpl hours while I go do other things.

  • fitr on 20/09/2022 - 13:21

    does it has wifi ?

  • punkel on 20/09/2022 - 15:01

    Are these made in China like all the other Weber products now?

    • kickling on 20/09/2022 - 15:49

      • garage sale on 21/09/2022 - 03:29

        one weber i bought ….have spare from hardwaste collection , only thing missing is the charcoal holder ….i can see the issue for people if shifting to small accommodation and his s much space a weber uses ….

  • bashar20 on 20/09/2022 - 23:40

    Be aware that these will be missing the charcoal baskets and Smoke ring.
