Kettle-obsessed from Chicagoland

[bleepblorp1978]

I stumbled across this when looking up tips on regulating air flow in a kettle.

I have my parents' original 18" Weber Kettle from 1980...still works. Used to be my primary grill but now it's used for overflow when we have a lot of food to cook.

A few years ago my family surprised me with a 22" Performer with propane start. I've added rotisserie and pizza oven accessories. I barely use the gas start but the additional 4" of grill size has made a huge difference in the control I have over temperature. The work surface next to it is nice. Unsurprisingly the quality of the product is still excellent.

I use the grill year round...could be 10 below or raining and I'll still be out there. Excited to read through the posts on this forum and learn a thing or two. I'll also share my own experiences when I feel like I have something to offer.

Welcome from Champaign Illinois. Good to have another diehard griller on board. There is NO grilling season!

Not sure what part of Chicagoland you're from, but welcome from up north in Highland Park! Grilling year-round is the only way.

Welcome from the NW side, right near O'hare. 
I have a red mist first generation performer (SSP) that is beautiful.  Got the 5 gallon tank recertified & filled up, but have never tried the gas starter.  I continue to use a chimney, like I've done for such a long time.  It is what I cook on the most.
