Ranch Kettle owners thread & showoff

[pbe gummi bear]

I thought this thread might be fun. Check in here if you currently own a Weber kettle with cooking grate larger than 27" diameter.  Please add your pics too. I won't add you until you reply in the thread, except for Brian and his old ranch since I feel he should be #1 on this list.

My ranch with StL ribs.

Ranch Fever at the WKC! Great thread idea L. Here's The Animal I just got from Brian. Without his help I doubt I ever would have found an old one like this. I love how it's been passed around and that it made history at the famous WKC meets especially the one held at Jeff's house. I can't find a picture of it all together so if anyone else knows of one please share it. I am also posting Obi Wan's as being the oldest known ranch.

me too. I absolutely have no place to put one, no where near the $$ for one and can't think of any cook I'd do that I'd need it, but all these threads recently have me wondering if I could somehow make it work.

Here is mine. I acquired this last spring off of CL, and it looked really rough even though it hadn't been used much.

Used a lot of info on this site for cleaning/restoring and ended up with this




RK in action - two racks of spares, CI oven full of baked beans, and some wings with room to spare

For those with a 22 WSM - this gives you a size comparison - I used both the day this pic was taken
