Well after 18 months of changing my mind I finally bought my 47cm Weber Smokey Mountain, got it home after buying from Planet Barbecue, their shop is only 10 miles from my house and David gave me a really good deal
Boxed and ready to unpacked
Built and ready for test run
Disaster, noticed the enamel on the lip that the lid sits on is defective, you may have too look closely!
Quick email to a contact I have at Weber and this arrived
A middle section along with brackets, and the best bit I got to keep the slightly damaged one, which I can either build my own monster WSM from of drill for a temperature probe for those longer cooks without worrying about my warranty, excellent customer service from a trusted brand.
