Following up on my emulsion tube issue this week:

These carbs were purchased from Webercarbsdirect.com and were represented as genuine Webers.

They are not. They are Chinese knock-offs.


The retailer refuses to take them back.

You've been warned!




Do everyone a favor and spread this around to help others from getting screwed.
