They used to but a new UK health & safety law came in last year which meant they had to stop selling it, something to the distance the handle was from the main body of the lid.

I had a look at it on the above link, and they are covering themselves with a caveat of always using a bbq mitt when raising the lid.

Just doing a bit of searching. This one:

"Weber also launched additions to its portable range, including Jumbo Joe, a larger version of the portable Smokey Joe range. It has a 47cm cooking grate and a "Tuck-Away" to lock the lid in place for carrying. A rust-proof aluminium lid and bowl vent provide airflow. Other launches include a portable charcoal table and a portable chimney starter."
