Well it was a hell of a summer....

I think you have lost your focus..

I intensified my focus....Restore respect RESCUE!

[Heyjude]

Focus, more like "Addiction"... Lol..

[saxart]

Z-
What an impressive picture!  Having said that, I have lost a bit of respect for you... 

I mean..  All of those kettles and only ONE SJ???  GASP!!!

(SJs are my favorite in case you can't tell by my profile pic)

BTW... I am using your pic and harbor's pics to "reinstate" myself via email with the extended family.  We had about a dozen of them over this weekend for some pulled pork.  They saw a small handful of full-sized kettles in my garage and one of them commented with a disturbed look, "Why do you need so many grills??"      Then another one goes, "Well look over there (and points to the long shelf of multi-colored SJs) he's got even more!"   

It was a modern-day witch hunt I tell ya...   Of course, they all shut up when 3 pork-butts came off the WSM.

And..... it's the same thing with the wife.  She quit complaining about my Weber purchases after the first time we had a 'low-and-slow' cook.

I only got that Smokey a week ago.  If your interested I'll be more than happy to send it to you.  I also have a late 80's Smokey Joe brand new in the box.  I'd be willing to part with.  If your interested let me know....I'm just not a Smokey guy.  I try to get them to the guys who really like them....

That's an incredible collection Brian. Thanks for setting them up and sharing the photo!

Awesome shot Brian... It's the who's who of vintage kettles
I've been meaning to do a family photo for ages, but every time I start setting them up , my ears start burning from the neighbours talking about the creepy guy next down
Her- Hey John, come and have a look at what he's doing now!
Him- Holy Shit!!! I knew he had a few, but that guy needs an intervention!
Or then there's the sneaky pic my wife takes so she can post how much of a problem her husband has or bring it out when friends are over , so they can all have a good laugh
Unfortunately your pic won't help me much, she'll just roll her eyes and say ' well your not far behind him'
Anyway it's all good, water of a ducks back as they say

I think I counted 37....Brian, you have more than I do now!  Now I REALLY can show my wife I'm not so bad!

I'll try and get a new family photo...its been at least 2 years since the last one.  I think I have a couple more...

[G$]

By the way, don't put that beat up "chestnut" away for the winter, just box it up and ship it to me.

[JayCee]

Awesome family photo! I'm wondering if you have more kettles or hockey jerseys.

[Craig]

Holy smokes! Looks like you've gained back some redheads, Brian! Have you got Jeff beat yet on inventory? 

Oh and I spy a Wood Dale, and I don't mean Grandpa or the nuts..

[Pioneer]

I just showed my wife the photo of your collection Brian and her exact comment was "awesome, I love it!". I'm so glad she understands Weberitis.

[Peaspurple]

Wow wow wow. Love it.

I am curious as to why the manufacturer of wood handles can have grills without handles and with handles in poor condition?

[Pioneer]

He's gotta sell every handle he makes to buy more grills - a classic sign of an addict!
