i was thinking of getting the grill in the copper color. Does anyone know how well the colors holds up? Does it fade or look bad if when it fades?

My daughter has had the copper color for a couple of years and I think that the color has faded a bit. It doesn't look near as nice as it was new in the showroom and they keep it clean. So, when I decided to replace my old weber I chose the standard black and have been very happy with my decision. Hope this helps.

My son got the copper color weber grill 5 years ago. He keeps it outside but it's under a overhang roof in New York all winter. The color is still like the day he purchased it. The key to any grill is to protect it. Buy a cover and when not in use cover it. Also when you want to clean the inside from fat droppings/build-up, Take aluminum foil and place it over the entire grilling area and then turn on tall the burners. When the smoke stops, turn it off, let it cool and it's like new again inside.

I have had it for a year now (brown), so far the BBQ hasn't faded - but when it's not in not use, I have a cover and it's protected from the elements...

We have had this grill since late last year. Living in Florida we use it many times a week and the green looks as good today as when we got it. We did purchase the Weber grill cover which I highly recommend as well

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?

I feel it's more copper colored, or actually into a bronze hue, def not red. Also, I had to drill holes in the bottom's because three of the four I bought their drain system got clogged and my plants got root rot. I still love the look and they are outside, so it wasn't a big deal to me.

I ordered it in red. There must be a place with a color choice or perhaps one of the many sellers has that option. I love the red.I see someone mentioned rust being a problem. I haven't seen that.

Go to Fuego's website. It just came out this month (7/14) made specifically for this grill. It's $40.

Unfortunately it will fade. I loved the colors and just put it my my grill this season and it has already faded from the NJ sun.

It looked green online. Arrived in a matte black color. Sort of a primer black like hot rods in the 1950's. Goes with that grill too:-)

I bought this as a gift for my son and he said the stainless is a pain to keep clean. He suggested that if possible, buy one in a color. As far as the grates go, they do a lot of barbequed chicken so it's always a mess. But he does like the grill. Hope this helps. Leeann

I just got done cooking on mine, I,absolutely love that grill. And I cook mostly on high, then hot dogs, sausage links, and chicken on low to medium. Trust me you will enjoy it

We've had ours since spring and sits directly in the Colorado sun for more than 1/2 day. Have not noticed any fading, cracking, etc. Looks great.

I've had the same issues. I thought I took fairly good care of my hibachi, making sure to always give it a good once-over with some oil after it had cooled down somewhat. However, upon looking at it today, I found a fair bit of rust throughout the grill. Did I do something wrong here? Is cooking marinated meats on the grill a no-no?

No, I still get the grill marks and looks about the same. Be sure to wash be fore using and don't get it to hot.

I have found that cleaning while the grill is warm and then giving it a liberal spray with aerosol Olive Oil (I prefer this to Pam or other coatings) keeps mine rust free. I keep mine outside in a larger grill with a cover and so far, it hasn't developed any rust. I get the generic spray olive oil locally for like 2.00 a can and a can lasts for a while. I am going to use this method instead of the painting method. Just a personal preference.
