How long before box stores get new Weber models? (Master Touch Premium)

[frayedend]

I'm in the market for a new kettle grill. The Master Touch Premium that just came out is available on the Weber site. But I have gift cards for either Lowes or Home Depot. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to make it from Weber only to the box stores?

Pretty sure i read Weber now makes all their products in china, so with covid still going on, it could be awhile till new models roll out to large chains like lowes and home depot. They probably still a lot of last year models in their warehouses.



Just a guess, i could be wrong.

Probably spring. I don't think they reset the back yard / grill area until then. Usually corporate buyers have a schedule they follow for each event/season. Some of the flex space for grills will be going to harvest / Halloween then Christmas.
