You want to show off your fruits, and your blues and your chocolate. What about some blacks?
Sure, they are common, but they are also much loved and under appreciated.
Not fair!
Here's some of mine.

A Black OTS that did serve for a while.
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i48/JOC00L/BlkMT5.jpg)
A MT Silver that I didn't get to use 'cos someone said they wanted it so I left it alone. Note the Limited edition High Capacity ash catcher.
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i48/JOC00L/SJ1.jpg)
An SJ silver that I used for a while and then moved on to a little old lady that lives up the mountains.

This is a three wheeler that I haven't the nerve to use. I'm not sure I would know how to drive it. :'(
-
Trust me, black will have its day. It all comes back to black.
-
Maybe these grills could be snuck into the "fruit thread" as a Blackberry??? :)
-
No desire to join in with the fruits Jeff. Black stands alone.

How about the big guns.

I have two faded grey mid 70s MBH "Rat Rods" that I use all of the time, and I'm just too embarrassed to post pics of them.

Now I'm the one feeling left out! I had planned to shoot my family of black kettles over Labor day, thinking we would not get around to black for a while. What started out as "color of the month" turned into a free for all. Oh, what the hell, here's one to get started - the newest and smallest member of the family:

Can't quite make out the vent code, but it looks like a "D" to me. We've been looking in all the wrong places!

Just a few that I enjoy...

This was before I cleaned up the RK, but the pic is pretty cool.

Just finished 'building' this 18.5" OTS kettle, it's my first grill, and i'm giving it as a gift. I wanted a small grill, but wasn't satisfied with what was available so i had to do some improvements.

wood handles from Brian O'Neal, added a thermometer
(http://i.imgur.com/W4kX9WE.jpg)
bought the parts for the ash catcher from ereplacementparts.com to upgrade to a OTG
(http://i.imgur.com/pFJfhzQ.jpg)
filled the pathetic legs with copper pipe to make them stronger and heavier. they probably weigh 4x as much now.
(http://i.imgur.com/N7RVjl7.jpg)
drilled & tapped holes for thumb screws for all 3 legs

higher quality rubber footer

Yesss black!!!! All about all the seldom recognized or celebrated workhorse of the weber family. Here are most of mine.

i will still get to use it ;)
living in an apartment i have no where to grill, at least not privately. i build electronics for a living and am kind of a perfectionist. i think the mods i did to the 18.5" are how they should sell it -- mostly a collection of tweaks i found here over the past week or two..well and some better wheels and thicker bars on that bottom shelf. Weber bean counters heads would explode
-
Welcome Justin....I have used the copper pipe in the leg trick on several grills. That will be rock solid for years to come.
-
Used to be black. Still haven't the courage to cook on her and don't worry that matchlight went to the round file. I'd still like to trade for the book. A pint glass? Anyone?

That 18 Wood Dale is cool 8)
Are the other two original thumb screws too?

They are G$. The other two are pre patent pending kettles.

Here's the first Weber I owned. A CL find for free. The first person to pick it up was the winner. I picked it up at 9:30 pm one night. My wife sent me the CL link as said is this that kind of grill you are looking for ? It was missing a lid handle. So I bought a black garage door handle for $5.00.
Here's my $5.00 SS Performer which included everything you see in the picture. BTW, I filled the tank today for the second time. The gas starter is the bomb.
(http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w478/javahog2002/4e59242e.jpg)
And here's my Black SS Performer in a prime location under the lights with the big boys. He even has his own outlet for the ROT.

The OTS is my first ever weber. It started it all.

Ken, you need to add another condiment rack to the OTS. Nice blacks, fellas.
-
Looks great gl.
-
Nice blacks again! Stu, you really have some nice grills. I think the teens also qualify as flatties. Please tell the story. Kendoll, nice collection and I really dig that original griddle for the GA. Greg, another nice score. Any luck with that Woody?
-
Here's my 22" buddy! I've had it a week and love it! I'm looking forward to slow roasting some ribs on it tomorrow. ;)
Its a 1994 I believe (ER), and is absolutely fantastic! I plan on adding a 26" to the mix when I have the space, and a SJG for camping! :)

My blue was feeling left out ... he wanted in on the pic. ???
The MBH in the middle was acquired about 10 days ago. Cleaned up nice.
The wood handle was in great shape. Can still make out the "Weber" in the centre of the handle.
I applied some spar varnish (satin) and it looks almost new. "A" vent code ... 34 years old - not bad, eh? :D

You're missing a black gasser GA. Congrats on the new acquisition!

Is it a little early for a Spring show-and-shine? Believe me, Spring cannot come soon enough.
Not a lot of colour to rescue up here in the GWN. So, I make due with rescuing some desired / neglected blackies.
I got these beauties late in the summer of 2014. Very good prices, too. :D
An "M" code (1990) Outrider with a new handle replacing the beat-up original.
Then, a "DT" code (2003) 18" OTG with custom handles, swapping out the stock plastic / nylon white handles.

Rescued this black beauty a week ago. All cleaned up …. Had to get it dirty.
