Canadian KettlenappingJuly 1, 2017On July 1st, our esteemed member Darko was the victim of a heinous robbery. His beloved black kettle was stolen from his property in cold Hamilton, Ontario, Canadian. Multiple casualties reported, as his Slow N' Sear was also kettlenapped in the incident.
"Somebody stole my friggin' grill. Six damn years this thing has been sitting on my driveway. What pisses me off, the slow & sear was in it!!!! Fuck! I'm pissed!!!!", said Darko. The black kettle and SNS will sorely be missed, even though the kettle and Slow N' Sear are survived by a shitton of other colored kettles.
"I always had a cheap black grill on the driveway to use during the winter or during rainy days, I wonder if ABCBarbecue has an insurance policy" said Darko. Loved ones are encouraged to post a message at: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/someone-stole-my-grill!/ to celebrate the life of his kettle and SNS. This is the first kettlenapping in recent WKC memory.
Gummi's comment:On a more serious note, I feel bad for Darko. He's been a dedicated contributor to the site and a good Grillfella representative for our Canadian neighbors. Thus, I would like to start a "GoFundMe" of sorts to replace his Slow N Sear. Consider contributing if Darko has made an impact on you and/or just want to help a Grillfella out. You can post here or pm me and we'll make it happen.
@Darko, send me your address!
And....... we already have a contributor who at this time wishes to stay anonymous! WKC is awesome. Where's the heart emoji when you need it? Keep them coming!
Put me down for $10. No man should ever wake up with one less kettle.

Gofundme Closed! Thanks for everyone that offered to contribute to replacing
@Darko's SnS. Some members have committed to contributing right after the July 4th holiday but for now, I am closing the gofundme as I believe we have enough to cover a Slow N' Sear Plus and shipping/tax to Canada. I will order it directly from
@ABCbarbecue himself.
I'd like to personally thank

@james1787 The SnS is a high quality, solid wall, stainless steel charcoal "basket" that allows you to cook indirect/smoke at low heat and sear at high heat. It looks really simple but is well thought out and made with high quality materials in the USA. Many members were initially skeptical but it has proven itself to be very useful. This review: http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2016/01/04/slownsear-review-the-best-way-to-smoke-in-your-weber-kettle/ describes it way better. The creator
@ABCbarbecue is also a member.

Thanks for the effort, dude!
This is absolutely amazing. I'm speechless(I know, that's a shock!!!). In a million years I would not have expected this generosity. Hell, I didn't expect this at all. I was more than willing to chalk it up to a learning experience. As I said in my original post, I kept a cheap black kettle on my driveway for inclement weather cooks when I didn't want to use the ones in the backyard and be exposed. On this particular kettle, the sweeps were a bit distorted so it wouldn't shut down well. That was why I left the slow & sear in it, to let the coals burn out.
I can't thank you fine folks enough, and I am honoured that you think that much of me to do something like this. This truly is one of the best forums on the web.
It was my pleasure Darko. I haven't been a member long but I have enjoyed your posts. It seems like everyone else has also.

Install it. Set a trap of some sort.....maybe put a Char Broil out.
@ Darko- appreciated your gift of these 4 bags of charcoal. Weber and Basques briquettes, I never used before. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks!

A char broil? I don't think he would catch anyone with one of those.

I hope you enjoy them. IMO the Weber briquettes are fantastic, but expensive here in Canada. Basques are hard to find. I got them from the distributor in Ontario. They smell great and light easy and last. Maple Leaf is similar but a different blend of wood. Royal oak I like because of the oak hickory blend.
