Here is a 1970, 18.5″ Copper Mist “brownie” colored kettle. These were nicknamed “The Brave” by Weber back in the 1970s. The current owner is Craig from the WKC.

Well… the last time I made one of these glorious creations I noticed that the proportions of the cut slabs were…
The Weber charcoal grill is one of the most versatile cookers available. Right out of the box, without spending a dime on gadgets or accessories, the Weber kettle can do pretty much anything – including make a damn good pizza. This has been my mantra for years, and for good reasons. Avoiding novelties and luxury…
In the early days of Weber, kettles were marketed and sold by traveling salesman. They would put on cooking demonstrations at hardware and department stores, passing out Weber brochures on how to order them.
