I use this almost everyday. I am pretty sure i'm the only one here who doesn't even own a stove. :)

It was an OTS until I made it a gold and added a lid bale. I really like the ci grate.
I still need to add a thermometer. I also made a charcoal holder out of expanded metal.

MY dog burned my stove up but I can still use it....it's a long story..
As for the pit, all I have is two words...

Yes! Sierra Azul. ;D
Nice setup Zav! I have one of those charcoal holders. They work great don't they? Where did you get yours?
I got one of the charcoal buckets with a old Brownie I picked up, which was the reason I got the grill in the first place. The other I just got on ebay like two weeks ago. I love them so much. I fill them up all the time but I don't care!
Brian
That's really funny! I got mine with an old 22 brownie that I didn't really want. It really makes adding coal easier.
I think weber created the perfect grill with the Master-Touch.
(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1904/full1sc.jpg)
Since I have had this one, it does about 80% of my grilling. Just one more option I need to add to this grill .... should be appearing in a couple weeks.
alright...quit teasing...what option are you waiting for?

Not "waiting for", making.
It is not that exciting actually, but I am making a simple side table that was inspired by a post from an Aussie on tvwbb. He found and refinished a wide slatted table that looked really cool to me. I am taking that design cue and combining it with another weber made side table with the pipe legs. I think you might have one Jeff?
Anyway, half way done, I will post the details when it is finished.
Can't wait G-Money! 8)
I saw that table too.....it's awesome. I know Troy was looking for a side table. I wonder if he would like one of those. I could build him one. A while back he was looking for a side table and I said I would build him one. I like this table G$ is talking about. Maybe Troy would like that one too....?

Yeah...I have one of those old Weber tables with the pipe legs. I posted it on the "other" site! Look forward to seeing how yours turns out!
Anyway, half way done, I will post the details when it is finished.
do we know for sure that that awesome table with the two legs is weber?
i seem to remember seeing a NIB one (and i vaguely remember offering the guy WAY too much money for it)
If it's the redish table i'm thinking of it was a genuine weber and was made of an exotic wood.
Yeah, it was an overseas product.
Yeah duke, that is the one I am talking about. If things go as planned, mine will not be that red-ish color, but will resemble my new handles in color.
is this the side table you're talking about?
[attachment deleted by admin]
I'm not. There was one with wood legs.
Here ya go!

oh nice. i must have missed that one
Duke is exactly right, that was the inspiration. BUT, I am going to probably use the leg style that you linked to Troy. It will be a hybrid.
Troy you in the market for that table? I know I could build one pretty close to the one on TVWBB. You got any grill accessories in play for a trade?
Brian
i'd like one, but i don't think i'm in the market right now.
i still haven't got my 2nd performer up on the deck yet - it's been my driveway cooker :)
I found both of mine on CL the Blue one i just got, it needs some work (the one touch cleaning system is missing) the Redhead is now my go to grill, it just works so good ;D

BTW, I remeber after chris banned you your wsm came up on craigs and all of chris's fanboys freaked out. I wish I could find that old thread. I'm sure it's long gone since it was in the trading post. ;D

LOL Brian, I use a hose torch to light my kettles. I made a hanger for the bottle near where the bottle should screw into the Performer. My hose took a crap and now I just use a regular torch on a bottle of MAPP gas.

I have a few others, but this was my 1st kettle and I use it over any of the others. Probably because I primarily cook for just my wife, I, and my 2 year old son. Doesn't use a lot of coal either compared to the 22".
I guess you use lump in that porcelain potty grill? Does it hold temps? Lol..
Man if I could find an SS toilet, it would make one heck of a smoker..

Why? ???
multiple reasons.
mainly, i can't stand dealing with the 3 daisy wheels on the bottom. i strongly prefer the one-touch system.
plus, with so many kettles on my back deck, wasps become a problem - so i moved all but the two performers and the green kettle to the garage.
No problem, I'll take it Troy. I'll even pay shipping cuz that's the kind of guy I am.

the daisy wheels let ash and embers fall and fly all over
the daisy wheels get too hot to touch
they're usually too hard to turn, or too easy to turn
the one touch is USUALLY cool enough to touch.
falling ash and embers are solved by the gold/performer version of the ash bucket
You are exactly right. Those are definitly draw backs. I can't tell you how many times I have been burned turning those things. :o The daisy's are mainly good for smoking where you only need one.
i can see where the daisies would be easier to fine tune for smoking
i do pretty well with the one-touch though, it just takes some getting used to.
with my bandit, i just keep the vents completely closed until the temps start to run low (usually after 15 hours)
New to the sight, just added this vintage 26" to my collection.
Need to find legs for the table. Such a classic not sure if I should be using it.
(http://weberkettleclub.com/i/greg-26-vent.jpg)
(http://weberkettleclub.com/i/greg-26-weber-kettle.jpg)
Sweet 26 and sweet table. You should add [img] to the front of the links so we don't have to click on them.
That vintage 26 is fantastic glrasmussen, and the table is badass.
Knowing weber, they probably used the same piping that the legs use.
I think it's just 1" aluminum. one of the other guys knows more i'm sure.
Welcome! Very nice indeed. :)
Thanks! I will post a pick when I find some legs.
Found a gem, had a lucky horseshoe that day.
Bet is hadn't been used but a handful of times.
Came with a cover, tossed it, more fun to look at!
Very interesting color, love it!
You can usually get some shower rod. It's just 1" aluminum tube. You could have legs tomorrow. Take the caps off the small propane bottles and put them on the ends, voila!
Brian
Zav THANKS! Menards tomorrow!
Make sure it is 1 inch OD.
For the leg tips, like Brian said I have used propane caps with great success. ACE HW also sells "Plastic Tips". The package says Plastic Tips, 4 Pcs. The one inch version is part number 56020, and the cost 2 bucks for the four pack.
I'd love to take one of those off your hands if you dont want them. ;) -Craig

The handles on the 22.5 are Brian's. The 18.5 and the Smokey Joe are original. Some of you may have seen this set up before. My 18.5 has a modern leg kit on it. The originals are in my garage awaiting restoration to remove some pitting on the legs and clean up the original metal wheels. Right now that 18.5 looks accross between a mid '60s and a late '70s kettle. -Craig
Nice. I have that same smokey joe btw.

I posted these in the Welcome thread, but here they are in the proper forum:

I use the green performer the most. The WSM gets used a lot and the Q220 lives in the Motorhome but I sometimes use it at home for the Cast Iron Grates.
Great collections everyone!!!
Don't discount that collection Kendall, I think it's pretty sweet,
Brian
Can I just say how much more I love it over here? I dont want to sound sappy because that's not my style, but the camraderie and fun is much more evident!

That's an excellent collection Kendall! That sage green is rare. I wish they would make that color again.

I have no idea if this worked, but here is my collection. Hopefully it will continue to grow.
It works and your well on your way impressive.
Nice collection Ted! It's rare to see a brown MT anywhere. :o
Is that a MT or an one touch plus? It has the frisbee ash catch with the ot cleaning system. I have had a hard time figuring out the exact model.
Beautiful Ted...very Nice.
And Craig I agree, there is a much better feel to this site, no old boys club here, everyone should be here to have fun, not get yelled at, this site is all of ours, it's ours to make it great.

That avacado color is really striking! It screams '70s cool!! I would love to find a 22.5 in that color or even lime.

Here's my rat-rod gasser. Not much to look at, but like most Webers it works like a charm. I'f the mood strikes I may paint the box and end castings, and treat it to SS grates. Then again, I'd rather spend time polishing up Kettles!

Hey Bo..Luke?...Uncle Jessie?....I mean Duke
I need some tips on installing the lid holder and a thermometer. Do you use a certain drill bit? It seems like the porcelain would start to crumble during drilling. I have a one touch gold that I want to turn into a master touch...would appreciate any tips

I just mark and drill. You could put some tape on it before you mark it to be safe. The tape might keep it from chipping to much. Good Luck! ;D

..thanks again
Yeah one of those buddies is me! Dang it that table looks as cool online as in person. Some day I'll have one. Nice work Brent especially considering where you started with that grill.
Are the metal supports custom on that extension, or can you let us know where to find them? I must do this! Thanks.
Here is a link for the brackets, dont know if they sell retail, I get stuff through my cabinet supply company....check it out, if it don'y work, maybe I can ship some out.

Have to give props to my little brother, for making the cutting board top
Here is a better link Marty.....The first one you see r the ones I used, the 16in ones.
http://hdlusa.com/catalog.cfm?GroupID=Closet%20%26%20Cabinet%20Shelving&CatID=Shelf%20Brackets%2C%20Adjustable&showprod=1
I going to check on some pricing tomorrow, maybe I can just ship the whole set up for the table?......We'll have to see if the price is reasonable
Sounds good. I would just need the brackets as I have a piece of wood in mind, and can handle that part of it. Too bad they don't make them in stainless. Did you use the zinc or painted? Hard to tell from the photo.
I used the zinc ones, and sprayed them with an oil to keep then from rusting.
They do make ss brackets, but they r like 40 bucks a piece, I think
*Update* (i know i already posted but new kettle and new camera forces me to ::) )
All together and all going!

Nice group of kettles there, 1911Ron....The blue is sweeeeeet....I still think it's cool how the red ones change color with heat... Wish the legs would stay nice and shinny, like on your new one. Man that thing shines. 8)

Ron I've had great luck with SOS or Brillo Pads, 0000 steel wool, and Mothers mag and aluminum polish.
+1 on the Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish. That stuff works great on legs!
Its coming into Bbq season over here in Australia, So i thought i'd get my crew out for a photo shoot

Nice 20 hogsy
Been waiting for this family portrait!!!

That's one heck of a nice collection! 8) Is that a lid lock I see on your mini wsm?

Craig
WOW Nice! That is some collection. Were you on a ladder? Nice perspective!
Brian
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw this one on CL. Finally had a chance to clean it up over the weekend. Its in great shape (all original parts) other than the two small chips on the lid. You can see some staining on the bowl which would not come off with steel wool. Any suggestions? Weber needs to bring this color back.

G, that is a kick-ass looking yellow!! 8) I'd love to have one like that to compliment my red 18". Id call them "ketchup" and "mustard". And cook on whatever color mood I was in! As for the stains, I've used soft scrub liquid cleaner with the 0000 steel wool and burnt on stains come right off. Hell of a score!
Craig
That's a pretty nice yellow kettle G. I know you won't turn it into a flower pot. Only a Jackass would do that. ;D

nice collection hogsy!!
G try some Goo Gone and some steel wool, takes off most stains....
Brian
Thanks for the tip....I'll give it a try.
I've been busy lately and its looks like some nice collections/additions have joined. Nice collection, Hogsy. G glad you found that yellow one. Its going to look good in your avatar!

whoa hogsy...thats a lot of grills!! Very nice!
Thanks Jeff
The chocolate one at the front is the one I contacted you about a couple of weeks ago. It turned out to be a 1980 model as you said which is pretty old for a Weber grill in OZ. It was a bit of a mission to get seeing as it was on eBay in another state. Luckily the seller was willing to pack it for me and I organized a courier to pick it up.
Cheers
Joel
Finally got around to taking pics of the SJ family...

I love how every photo of a Weber is a literal reflection of its owner. In this case, a person with a collection of flawless, shiny grills, but no shirt. Awe. Some.

I was so busy looking at the shiny grills I didn't notice. lol
Very nice collection of grills, landgraftj. That smokey joe collection would look good on the a shelf in my office! ;)
I don't have enough money left over to buy shirts after purchasing all of my grills, lol!
That's a really nice collection! I think I recognize that gray smokey. ;)
I like that collection! Does that 22.5 redhead have one of Brian's handles on it?
Craig
Brian needs to send a T-shirt with every handle, so we'll have something to wear.
Nice collection! Any tips on the thermometer mods?
Greg
I really want a t-shirt that is just a old vent wheel off of a BAR-B-QUE KETTLE. It would be so easy to do as a black outline.

Hi, There are some nice collections here!
I use my wsm the most. The Stoker is a new addition.

I got rid of a lot of grills the past month so the stable is down to basics. I gave my SJ to a friend after I converted it to a smoker, my 22" OTG, and Daisy wheel 18"
Cheers!
Very nice collection. Welcome Lawrence, I was wondering when you would get here. :D
Awesome setup on the WSM...you got some big boys toys there still!
Its been a while here now and yet to post my family portrait

Very, Nice Brian. The redhead front and center is exceptionally good looking! Did you ever get to use the ash pan I sent you?
holy cow!
Super Sweet Collection!!!!!!!!
Love the bluey's
brian, nice dude.
Thank you for the kind words. I really love the blue ones, but somehow I ended up with a bunch of red ones too. Who doesn't love a redhead....Plus I'm just trying to hang in there with all you guys. I've seen what you guys have, I'm a piker compared to most of you. Really at this point I'm just looking for real old stuff, and a yellow, and a $30 ranch!

O...M...G! I showed this to my wife, now she shouldn't give me so much trouble over my paltry five ;) That's a nice collection Brian, and good luck with the Rancher addition.
Tell Jeff to post what he has then you'll have all the ammo you need to show your wife, glad I could help you ;)
Brian
If we maybe combine our collections, it MAY equal Jeff's...
WOW! I go out of town and get WKC withdrawl. I am quickly borrowing a computer for 10-15 minutes..... Brian, that is a SWEET collection! I love it!! That's a nice 'buffet of redheads' you have going there! ;)
Craig
Brian, looking at your lineup, I definatly think that Chestnut Coppertone (pinky) was succeeded by Copper Mist (brownie). It just adds up in my head. BTW, I love the Mesa Azul! I'd love to someday do a 'Rojo' version.....someday! ;)
Craig
Brian,
Thanks for posting updated pics. That is quite the collection. I will definitely show that to the wife to support my addiction I mean collection!

Hey Brian
What are those 3 cylinder shape things on the edge of the deck on the right hand side of the photo?
Cheers
Joel
They are old charcoal holders. My parents had them back in the seventies when I was a kid. I got them just because they bring back memories. One has coshell, one has kingsford and one has hardwood lump. I found two of them on ebay and one came with the coppermist.
Brian
Sweeeeeeet collection there Brian......You really have an army of grills there. I'm guessing the SJ lids are light fixtures, super cool idea.!!!!!

the old car is a 1971 XY FORD FAIRMONT WAGON (modeled off usa ford of late 60's) to be restored one day!!
and the yellow box is a wheelbarrow esky, made as a promo prize at the bottleshop, bought as an unwanted prize and now is our soccer team esky
its been modded abit gas strut lid, handle, seat, bin.
Nice collection Golly. I am going to be making one of those fire pits. A friend of mine (from Oz actually) got me a washing machine drum that fits a 22 perfectly. Just have to cut the legs down and I'm in business. Thanks to you and Hogsy for the inspiration.

So if I am understanding....it's a cooler? I love Australians, we both speak English but somehow I never know what they are saying :D Did they sell these Ford's in the US? Was is called a Fairmont here? Does it have a big engine?
Brian
Yeh it's a cooler will post some pics
It was modeled of the USA 1966 ford falcon
Fairmont is the Luxo model
Base model was falcon 500
Next up was futura
Then fairmont
Then GT
yes biggest motor it came with 351ci Cleveland
Very similar to a futura sports coupe
Sweet....

Here is the Old Redhead I was talking about on the Warrior thread.
Bought it for $20 sight unseen. It would have cost me more in gas
to go look at, but delivery was free. Need to work on the Twist ash tray now.

Wow! mine are a little more traditional....if you run out of bones let me know ;D
Brian
Do you have those grills going 24/7? I love it!
Brian
The dahmer series! ;D
The three wheelers work awesome for smoking don't they Buckie? I think they are the way to go. No parts to replace, ever.
I can't see your pics Glrasmussen.
Havent seen that one before....hopefully a dog wont run off with your lid...
Sorry on the picks. I sent Troy and e-mail behind the scenes. I am Apple and I tried to modify many times and can't get them to post...

I did it for some friends & somebody left it on the ground or hung...
they have 6 or 8 Chihuahuas & Old Red, a pit mix w/ the head the size of a brisket...

I don't get too daffy with Dahmer, even though I appreciate the jest, as I grew up 8 houses away from Richard Trenton Chase....Google him up for a fun time.... :)
The 3-wheels are grate, tho I've had some get so gunked w/ pork juice they got way loose & almost popped off !!!
I'm currently saving my largest pork butt bones for a possible attempt at side handles...
Might prove tricky ?
Glrasmussen., hope your pics come thru...For a fun time: pics !!!
Bone Handles! Its the Fred Flintstone kettle! ;D I like it! Do those handles on a redhead and call it 'Wilma'
Craig
Buckie, you can remove the vents and replace the rivets with nuts and bolts. Then when they get gunked up you can just remove them and clean them up. I just replaced a set that came out pretty nice.
Figured it finally, Pic's are posted above.
Greg
Nice collection!

Thanks, man...
Been there, done that...
Was thinking about stamping a tiny " W " in the bolt head, so it's somehow more official ~~> 8)
The re-fit that baffles me is the two long rivet top handle......
I got one of those that needs fixin'.....
They really do get gunked up too, I'm a mess most days....

:o Is that a weber wok or a discada?
Yup, Weber wok with hanger clips....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/End%20%20Aug%202012%20Wok/EndAug2012Wok023.jpg)
alright...quit teasing...what option are you waiting for?
Not "waiting for", making.
It is not that exciting actually, but I am making a simple side table that was inspired by a post from an Aussie on tvwbb. He found and refinished a wide slatted table that looked really cool to me. I am taking that design cue and combining it with another weber made side table with the pipe legs. I think you might have one Jeff?
Anyway, half way done, I will post the details when it is finished.
It's definitely a weber table made for the Australian market
If anyone needs measurements or photos I can post them
I actually bought another one a month ago that is a full trolley kinda like the sequoia
But sits in the trolley using the handles instead of the tabs on the outside of the bowl so you can use any OTS in it. The trolley also has its own lid holder
I haven't posted any photos yet cause it needs a bit of work
Cheers

Buckie, you can remove the vents and replace the rivets with nuts and bolts. Then when they get gunked up you can just remove them and clean them up. I just replaced a set that came out pretty nice.
Duke do purchase Nuts and Bolts from Weber or Hardware Store?
I have three daisy's, but nothing to attach them with.
Greg
Yes, what I do is get stainless nuts and bolts. I just put one washer on the inside and a lockwasher on top of that. It will keep the vent from coming loose and you can adjust it to the tightness you prefer.
Buckie I have the handles for the two rivet style...no problem...
Brian
Cool Beans !!
I have a few things to sort out, might be changing careers after 40 years,

Awesome collection Michael!
Awesome....and I never get enough of your dog. YOU know I love Bassets!. That picture is awesome!
Brian
Great shot Micheal. That's quite the collection you've got there
I've been thinking about buying the Weber fireplace myself
Would love to hear some feedback on it
Cheers
Hogsy
The fireplace works great...used it for the first time last Sunday night. I found this one on CL. It had only been used a couple of times. I don't know if it is supposed to come with any kind of grate for the bottom but I used an extra 22.5 charcoal grate to start the fire on. Don't know if it matters but it worked well for me. I can say that I don't think the grate will last very long, it was warped pretty bad after only one fire. I like the open sides. Makes it easy to add wood and poke. Up until now I used a Coleman fire pit which I enjoyed very much. It has kind of a wire cage around the sides with a door which is not easy to use once the fire gets going good so you have to lift the top every time you add wood. Anyway, the Weber fireplace is better. It's big,it's sturdy, it's easy to use, it's a Weber.
Thanks for the comments guys.
I'd have to agree Michael, the Weber fire pit is well made and easy to use. I've had mine about 6 months and its served me well.
My collection of grills varies from month to month. I have had to liquidate a grill recently due to financial issues. But here are my main pits.

thank you Brian, they would not look as nice without your great work on handles. which I will be calling upon you here shortly for some new ones. Just closed a deal with Stu for his 2 tone brownie and his mint condition chestnut.
Hey Ken,
You're buildng quite the collection. You have some very nice and unique grills!
Don;t let winter slow you down..
AJ
Thank you AJ. Winter just slows me down because I found that Easy Off oven cleaner works GREAT for cleaning the inside of the kettles, and I need sunshine for that, and that is a hard commodity to come by in Washington...lol.. I use greased lightening on most but found Easy off works best for me. I won't slow down on picking them up though..lol...
I use Easy Off myself. Can't beat it. I don't know that the sun adds to it or not but it sure makes working outside more pleasurable. Enjoy!
Chestnut? You mean one like Brian has? Mint? If it's what I am thinking those are really rare. Congrats Ken!
I don't know, I will have to look at Brian's pics again. Mesa Azul right?
"H" and Stu said perfect condition.

I noticed the wood handle on the S/S table, did you make that?? I was wondering if any one was going to do that. I just picked up a S/S blue and I thought the same thing, "that would look sweet with matching wood on the lid and table" and bam..there it is...
Very nice.
The added table is beautiful as well..

I am in theprocess of making some of those little handles for the stainless tables. I don't know how many of them I will have, but I'm trying....in case anyone needs one....

Got a couple new projects in the works, will post pictures when I'm all done. Just thought I would look through some of the collections and realized this page hasn't moved since the middle of Oct....wow.....Things have been busy......! There is some awesome stuff here!!!!!!!

A very nice score! A 26er is at the top of my wish list. Very hard to find here in the NW. Although I did score a Q300 for $112 yesterday!
Nice 26'ers guys. I will be looking for another. Would like the OT version. Spoiled I guess, like the clean-up better than
the old daisy wheel. That being said, love the amount of food you can cook on one. Did 12#'s of wings Saturday.
Looking real good. Great find.

Those are the original handles. This grill was unused when I bought it. When I picked it up from the seller, they told me that a relative had used it in some kind of store display and later on packed it up and tucked it into a corner of the attic. Years later (last summer) it came to them to get rid of it. It was a little over an hour drive but well worth it. The only fault was that the charcoal grate was missing. It turns out it is no longer available from Weber. I cut a piece of expanded metal to fit and I'm using that.
Unfortunately even though the grill is covered most of the time, the finish on the handles seems to be deteriorating. They don't look as good any more. I will consult with Brian for suggestions to refinish them. (Spar varnish?)
Mine is no longer pristine. I collect them to use them. Here is the inaugural cook:

(Spar varnish?)
Yes....Marine Spar Varnish, it's made to withstand salt water, used for sealing boats' wood against those kinds of elements....
Stuff's raging expensive, but well worth the results..... :)
The picture of that leg on there could be in a magazine! It doesn't seem like any other weber grate will work as a charcoal grate in those does it. When I restored one a while back I had to just save the trashed old rusted one and flatten it and add expanded metal again. I notice on the newer models the top grate from a 22 will fit perfectly as a replacement.
Some great looking 26"ers! I can't wait to get ahold of one some day.

Thanks, its a $25 preformer (missing the bottom support) and two rotisserie rings welded together with a cut out for an 18.5 WSM door. I am on the hook for a Superbowl cook out, so I had to break it out.

OK so is there any way a guy could maybe buy one of these tables? ;D ;D
I have the handles, I don't make that table though.....
See I have the handles now I want the table. Its Just all that extra room, work space. Man I need that.
Did Big B get that from someone? I know someone made that....I'm sure if I set my mind to make one I could....
Ted B said Big B's brother makes these..... http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/grilling-bbqing/winter-grilling/30/
Sorry for the slow response.........been kinda busy plowing snow, in these parts.......going on 36 hrs straight, I think......whatever pays the bills I guess.....lol
As for the butcherblock table extension on the performer, it is something I made.......
I can easily make more......it would probably be $200 for all the hardware, table and shipping........Don't be afraid to email me with any questions.....or orders....lol
Thanks
Brent
ouch .. sorry to say, That's a little out of range right now. But good things come to those who wait. ;)
No worries Bob......I know its a little pricey. The hardware and shipping r kinda pricey, it ends up being a heavy package.

Yea I did sell another redhead, it was a beater. I actually sold that other red Mastertouch to Marty that he traded. So there were five redheads for a brief time. And thank Craig you for mentioning the covers. Once I put them all on and saw them, they kinda look like jammies for the grills, They put them on and go nite nite....

10 is really not a "Problem", I wouldn't think.....see, I'd have a hard time pointing to you & saying to the wife: "Well, he's got ten of them....so there !!!"
On the other hand, if you point me or one of these folks that have 3/4's of the large yard filled & try to minimize your position of owning ten to the wife, well........just don't know if that will fly from her point of view...... ;D

So all of you can use this to show your wives. You can tell them "look at this, our yard could look like this...."
Oh and here they are with all their covers.....

This should be made into a poster that says, "See honey, it could be worse". I would display this proudly in Chadvillion.
Sweet pics Brian ..... I could perv all day

Good point. Eventually I will submit an order.
BTW, I noticed dos handelos de plastico en la Mesa Azul photo!
WTF over ?
It's not my grill, it's a grill I picked up for Stu and it is just staying here until I can meet up with him....Now if he wants me to replace them we can discuss.....

I am seriously lusting over your red Coca Cola Jumbo Joe. That may be one of my favorite kettles ever. If you couldnt tell, i like Coca Cola every bit as much as Weber. Maybe more :o

That's a nice family you go there. That grey 18.5 really pops out in that photo. I'm diggin' the 'Cado too. 8)
I've only had my WSM for a year or so , but I am very attached to it. 8)

On the other hand , I've had my smoky joe for years and we always go on vacation together.

This was my primary smoker for a number of years , but since I got my WSM the brinkmann has been demoted to second string back up.

Nice smokers and SJ. I've been wondering the measurements of the Brinkmanns and if the center section would fit an 18.5 kettle?

Not extensive like some but it fits my needs, in the OTS I have the craycort cast iron grates.
Those are some nice looking grates. I would like to sell my gasser and buy one of those webers with 3 burners and the side burner. I like that black ash can.
Now that they are spanking clean, the Performer sisters dragged some more family members out to take a picture. Little red riding hood could do with some ash pan detailing, and the MT up front needs a new leg set, but they are ready for action. The MT will go to my son in SF - he and his wife just bought their first house. They have a Weber Q, but c'mon, a vintage MT is where it's at. Other little details here and there, but that's half the fun.

That's a great family photo Marty. I've never been fond of the blackies, but you make them look GOOD.
Awesome collection Marty! The stickers make them look extra special.
Off topic: Funny, I never thought about putting the decal on my Weber lol.

I love the master-touch, I own one and it is my favorite grill.
MartyG, that's a very impressive collection. I need to get a wood handle for my Performer. Did you buy those handles as is from Brian or did you stain them yourself?
Thanks! Brian did all the work. I will say in this case I supplied the wood (koa) but he can hook you up with whatever you like. I've seen a lot of his handles, and they are all gorgeous.

I cooked on gassers for years.
When I moved into my house 9 yrs ago, my folks got me a Napoleon gasser ... locally made.
Years later, I bought a Gourmet Charcoal Brinkmann for $60, then modded it before it's first use. Works great!
Then decided to build a UDS ... With a Happy Cooker dome lid courtesy of 1buckie. :D
Then bought a new AA OTS .... Then built a mini UDS using a 16 gallon drum, and a SJ lid.
The snowball continued to roll ... I have added more to that list ... Just Webers now! :D :D I finally saw the light. 8) ;)

Not really a collection yet, but its a work in progress.
Looks like all you could possibly need is already there... now what you might want is a different story ;)
Some outstanding collections for sure!

My trio of three-wheelers. I know, I know, wheels were not capped and one of them went caddywhampus and I did not see that until I took the shot and packed them all up again. All three are virtually new or NIB. The 18 is the one I traded the red MT for a while back. The 76/77 22.5 is the one I wrote the story about, and the "basic" kettle is the one I picked up at the June Meetup.

Merry Christmas Mr B!!!
Ted's wife bought a table exstension for him from me for Christmas (little early, I know but well worth it). He took his wife out for dinner tonight so I quickly installed it while he is gone......Question is, will he check the forum while out for dinner with his wife.....lol
Looks Awesome Ted
Brent
where does one get the extension table...is this homemade or is there someone that makes it? i want one!!!!
Big b makes them. They are a work in progress. That was my first table. It warped badly so we are on number two. Waiting to see how it reacts. Also they aren't cheap. Very cool though. I love it.
thanks for the reply. keep us posted if you guys take orders....price anit a concern with something that legit. i built my table because a performer just didnt have the prep area that i wanted but my table isnt nearly as mobile as a performer and it takes up alot of room in the garage if i could get a folding table like that and still get a performer cover over it i would be in heaven.

I posted a pic about a year ago but even then it was about a year out of date. Since I picked up the red master touch this week while in Seattle, I decided I needed to update the group shot. I posted this on my Facebook page and some of my friends are recommending that I seek professional help... and my wife is starting to get short on patience. She says 15 should be enough but I am still missing quite a few colors! Not to mention the 22" WSM, 26.75 kettle...

Dang, Sheldon- you got the Weberitis!
Awesome collection Sheldon! Don't forget a ranch kettle (wouldn't want to leave one out!)
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
Welcome back and awesome collection, Sheldon. We'd love to hear from you more! :D
Yep, you have Itis too! Great collection. Does your bride have more than 15 pairs of shoes?
I am so safe on that.
Awesome Sheldon. Thanks for stopping by again.
Ha-ha, that's awesome. If I had that many grills I think el wifey would kill me.

Hey Duke! Life has been busy and not enough time for forums, but I always make time to Q! I think my wife would want "words" with whoever it was that told me about the Craig's List app for my phone. And I get frustrated at the deals I have to pass up. The real hard part is I have not been to a single BBQ Comp this year!
Posted this last week but it belongs here as well.

Love it Bluesman...... That's a great shot with some of my favourite grills
Awesome collection, Bluesman! I love your patio lay out too. It makes for a great "stage" to showcase your cookers. :D
Finally put my "new to me" pit into the rotation and love it. A vintage red or brown flat top 26 is at the top of my grail list. Both bowl handles were attached with screws. I left the back handle off to make it easier to maneuver the lid. Also added an ash can but not sure I like it since it isn't secure (spins) to the bowl.

That is awesome, Stu! Did you score a second flat tipper? Or is this the late 60s one you got a while back? Very cool! I see you use your warming rack the same way I use mine, that thing is a godsend!
Is that the hot rod one that was around for a while with the big wheels? Nice Job!
Bluesman, that's a sweet collection! :D

Very nice! I have a few that I do not use at all. My performer sees the most use in my collection, followed by the Q300 and WSM in order.
I cook on one of theses at least 5 days a week year round. the other days I use the microwave to heat up left overs.

Welcome in, rlane! :D
For a second I thought that was an 80s vintage brown kettle. Very nice indeed! I love the new coppers.
Awesome picture.....
Terrific photo, rlane81. I love the glow inside the chimney. You really nailed the moment.

Sweet collections! Craig, thanks for showing the blakes some love.
This weeks fixer upper. Some kinda gasser. It has 13 flavorizer bars. Nice grill for most stuff but not a 750 degree steak sear station.

After

Still gotta put some linseed oil on the wood parts and then it's going to a new home.
Pressure washed, painted the box and ends, sand the wood, new regulator, and new flavorizer bars.

Hi Jack,
You need to surround those URLs with IMG tags. Just select them and click the button under the "B" on the compose screen.
Nice looking grill!
Thanks Hank, I would not have figured that out.
It was a nice day so I figured all the Webers needed to come out for a cleaning, a photo and a cook:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/29crnkj.jpg)
(http://i59.tinypic.com/j0bhhw.jpg)
Put in about a third of a smaller chimney with a mix of briquettes and lump in the jumbo WSM with some oak chunks and kept temps on the top shelf between 180-190 for about an hour with some ice in the water pan:
(http://i59.tinypic.com/21nqpw7.jpg)
I took the steak and burgers off and cooked them on the blue Kettle to finish. No plate shot but the steak was medium rare and burgers juicy with just a slight bit of pink. Smoke taste was good, especially on the steak. The extra middle section on the WSM was a fix by Weber for a missing grommet on the initial purchase. The WSM is named Bertha but when she goes with the 2 middle rings she likes to be referred to as Smokezilla.
From over the winter:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2ihw7b6.jpg)
Here are a couple of older pics of my pit crew. I really need to get a a current group photo taken.
This was taken in 2012.
The black 22" is a EE (1999) 3 wheeler that originally came with wooden handles. I received this as a birthday gift in 1999. Some dumb ass removed them and replaced them with plastic. The Smokey Joe is a C (1981) in mint shape that I picked up at a garage sale less than 5 miles from Harbormaster's back yard in 2012 for $3.00. I immediately converted it into a mini smoker. The performer is a left handed hi-bred I rebuilt. I picked up an EZ (1998) Performer off craigslist for $50.00 in 2010. The bowl and lid where not in the best of shape so I made a call to Weber and ordered up new ones. While I had it apart for cleaning and painting I decided to put it together the other way since I am left handed.

Last fall while moving out of our old house one of my neighbors set this beauty out by the curb. Gone in 60 Seconds my ass, I made it disappear in less than 20 seconds! It looks like it had been in the garage unused for the last 20+ years. It is a 70's model from all the clues, so 1971-1978. I have to get busy cleaning it up so I can get it dirty.

Ya I have one OTP as well....I got an amazing deal on it too. I too am seeking some colour but really hard to find here in Canada.
Lumpy where are you located in Canada?
Near Kingston, Ontario.

I think it is hard to have a collection like "some others" Key is, do you love your kettle and are you turning out any good food in it?
Many of my jems pass right through me, usually to a member. All I need for cookers is a couple of 22's and I am good.

An excellent point. I absolutely LOVE my kettle, and I'm generally quite happy with the food that comes out of it. It would be be awesome to have a stable of vintage kettles, if I could get a Performer and a WSM then I'd be quite happy. In the meantime I'll keep plugging away with what I've got. Cheers!

- The 18" WSM was just replaced with a 22" WSM craigslist find.
- A 22" OTG from craigslist was added to the lineup primarily as a dedicated hi heat pizza cooker but also serves as the tailgate/travel grill.
The 22" inch lineup gets most of the work these days, The 14's and 18's stay mostly in the garage for reserve use.
I should probably move the SJS and the 18" down the road but the miniWSM is sentimental so that stays around no matter what.

It looks like the 22.5 WSM ate the 18. Very nice collection, black is beautiful for sure. If you ever want to move that Performer, let me know (worth a shot). I'm only a few hours away
