Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Sweet flattie lid!! Having seen Ernie’s in person I can tell you that they are built like a tank! The original cooking grate alone will outlive all of us. Built. To. Last. Period.


GRAILS: 1950s era Black or Custom finish 22.5, 1978-1980 Blue 22 MBH, 1974-78 Lime 18.5 MBH

Well, posted on Facebook site Weber Kettle Fans. It's creating quite a bit of conversation since being posted minutes ago.  Here is the text from the post:


"Was at a friends place up north over the weekend. He said this is a Weber. No name on the top vent wheel. Said it was old in the 80’s already. Pretty good shape for 40 plus years outdoors!
Anyone know anything about it?"





I need a moment...🤤

H92 just dispatched his private plane[emoji3]

I was picturing up in the sky over the grill a silhouette of the Weber logo in a spotlight. Then Stephen seeing this light and flying off into the night to rescue this grill.

Someone with software and talent should MEME that up.


 I finally found this graphic created by Marty @56MPG  that closely fits what you imagined.
