I caught 'em slippin' at Lowe's :)

Hi everyone, I'm Ron. I bought my first Weber grill last year, a Weber Spirit 11 S-310. It was my firs gas grill ever, having only used charcoal before. I loved-and still do- the convenience and ease of using a gas grill. But it didn't take me long to realize I missed some things about charcoal grills. Like true smoking. Oh, I tried it on the gas grill, and produced some decent food to be honest. But nothing like you can

I did my research and decided I'd buy a Weber Original Premium kettle. I walked into my local Lowe's yesterday and was surprised to find one on display with a price tag of only $149. Two things I knew from my research is that one, the grill costs $165, and two, Weber NEVER allows price discounts on their products. I knew it was priced wrong so I snapped it up quick.  I ended up getting the grill for $149 plus an additional 10% off for being a Veteran (a very cool thing Lowe's does for vets).

So anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone. As I said, no stranger to charcoal but definitely new to kettle grills. I'm already taking full advantage of all the information on Youtube and I look forward to doing the same here. I plan to do more smoking than grilling on the kettle, just fyi. But I went with a kettle rather than a WSM just so I'd have the option to do both. Looking forward to meeting you all. I'll be reading the boards!

That's a great color and the good price makes it that much better.

Welcome to the club!!!

Greetings from Greendale, WI.  Grate color.  That's sweet to have grabbed it at last year's price + 10% off.  Any company that recognizes vets in such a manner deserves the business.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So far I've done just 2 cooks on my new grill. I ran a test to figure out how to set and maintain temp but I'll need to ask you guys about the results in a new post. Thanks again guys.
