Saw this on a BBQ forum and I've been waiting on it a long time. They are talking about some time in Oct to start sending them out. I'll be placing my order as soon as they take them. The Webber is by far the best water smoker on the market.
It features:
Two 22" cooking grates - 50% larger than current WSM
Built-in lid thermometer with 1.5" stem...temp range of 100-350*F in 5*F increments
Extra lid handle on edge (it's a heavy lid)
Larger 4-1/4" vent dampers with 4 3/4" holes
Improved access door: taller, wider, with handle that indicates locked position, and a clever design that allows you to remove the door entirely or have it open downward but still attached--without hinges
Monster 3-gallon water pan with wider rim and redesigned grill straps to stablize the pan...this pan is not going anywhere once in the cooker
Sturdier 2" wide legs
Improved charcoal grate: the gaps at the edges have been closed to prevent charcoal from falling through
Really big charcoal chamber...have not yet measured capacity, but 9 lbs of charcoal looked very lonely in the bottom of the chamber
A drip pan mounted on the legs to catch liquid from the bottom vent dampers
A bit more headroom between the top grate and inside top of lid, and a bit more space between top and bottom grates
