Where does your Weber live?

I suppose most normal people have their Weber grill placed in a convenient location on their patio, deck, or someplace in the back yard. But for those with 'the affliction', where do you keep them when you're not hosting a WKC meet-up, or for that matter, even just cooking for a small family/friends get-together? I mean, after about three in number, don't they start to take up valuable real estate in the garage? Doesn't it become a real pain in the butt to mow around them all summer? Do you all rent self-storage units?! I've seen Golly's thread on his way cool awesome cave, but is that normal? I need to know. I'm afraid I've picked up the Weber 'bug' and have acquired way too many grills this winter. Where am going to put them all? I'm scared.

I got a performer in the alleyway, a wsm on my stair landing, a wsm and cga in the closet, a mt lid in the kitchen, a few kettles and two wsm's in the second bedroom, some kettles fostered at buddies' houses and sometimes kettles in the car. :)

Good question Dale!
When you get to a certain point, they live wherever they want to live...wherever they fit.
Here are a few examples.  Not pictured is a red kettle in the back of my truck, and a Sequoia and burnt orange Ranger in the shed for the offseason.

Okay, maybe I can chew on this one. It's a start. Thanks, Gummi.

Jeff, great pictures. Thanks, eh. Okay, no problems with mowing. Good.
But I gotta ask... (and I'm not trying to hurt here, honest), What happens when your sweet wife suggests an evening in the hot tub with friends?

Then Jeff busts out the galley que. It's made for wet adventures.....

"I've seen Golly's thread on his way cool awesome cave, but is that normal?"

Yes....this is perfectly normal in every respect......

"Where am going to put them all? I'm scared."

Fear is relative......fun is much more fun.............

And, Jeff's situation is exemplary......kettles everywhere is the common tie that binds us together....the font of life, so to speak......

For me, it started like this:



and this:



Then it was like this:



Some went to friends houses that I cook at regularly:



I try to cook on as many as possible at any one time....& encourage other to do so as well.....



And, just recently, things have morphed yet again:



Just Keep Rockin' & you'll come to the right conclusions........

Buckie...so how many kettles do you have anyways?  I see more and more every time!

Dale, well...those grills alongside the hot tub are typically stored outside under covers in the summer time.  But to answer your question about using the hot tub, my wife actually isn't a big fan of it.   It gets very little use sadly.  I like it so I keep it.  If it was up to her, it would be gone and the room would be dedicated to MORE grills.  Perhaps one of them has your name on it...

           Too Many?

                           Is that a correct answer?


And please be careful pulling into the garage....please......if your brakes fail, it's squashed lime all over the place..... :o

Don't know exactly how many I have but they
are on the patio, in two sheds, in the garage, and about
10 to 15 in the house. The ones in the house are
the vintage smokeys , galleys , NIB grills.

I do want The Westerner in the house!
