What should I do?
I've done a cold call before and got my yellow but that goes against my nature. But I'd do it again.
I don't have a newer one to offer as a trade.
It might be a 22" but it looked bigger and was definitely brown.
Now what?

You can always leave a note...that has worked for me a few times. It gives the owners time to debate a decision instead of putting them on the spot. Can grab a picture and post it? We can help you as to if it is a 22 or 26.

Thanks for the suggestions!!
Some good ideas. Now I just have to get up the nerve to stop by.
And decide how much to offer
When I got my yellow at first the lady of the house said it wasn't for sale. I said what if the price is right? She said you'll have to ask my husband. Already sensing they weren't anxious to get rid of it and knowing what it could be worth, I offered him $200. We both went away happy!
I'll just have to try to get feel for the situation at the time I suppose.
I'll be able to tell if it's a 26 up close but I'll definitely take pictures if I get it.
Thanks again

I've never knocked on a door, but I've haggled over the bed of a pickup truck in a grocery store parking lot. Based on that limited experience, I'd start by simply offering admiration for the grill that they've cared for all of these years. Take away any pressure for an immediate sale. Likely it has sentimental value, and if you leave some contact info they might be happy to someday pass it off to a kind person who they know will care for it.
...or they might be the greedy sort and ask $100 for it, right then and there! ;-)

Alright, so here's how the deal went down...or almost didn't...
I went up to the house and knocked on the door. The lady of the house answered. I told her that I was driving by and saw that brown grill and that I admire it because I collect them. I said that I don't have a brown one and asked if she would consider selling it?
She said it was her husband's and probably not, he's had it a long time.
I said well what if the price was right? She said she'll ask her husband...
She came back and said that it wasn't for sale. He had had it a long time and wants to keep it.
I said that I understand that but if he changes his mind would it be alright to leave my name and number? She said yes. I wrote it down and also wrote down what I would offer for it.
I planned to feal the situation out and maybe start with a $50 offer and go as high as $100 if they were willing to sell. I had $110 in my pocket.
But... since they said "no" I wrote down $150.
She said thanks, have a nice day and I walked back to my car disappointed.
I didn't even get in back in the car and she came back out and said that he would let it go for $150.
I said, well I don't have that much but I'll go get it and be RIGHT back and I hauled a** to the nearest ATM.
When I came back
I told her that I hate to take it because he had it so long and asked if he was sure? Which I was... a little. She said yes. I payed her, loaded it up and grinned all the way to the carwash.

Nice score jiveturkey1. Congratulations.
Here is a link to a 1969 Weber sales catalog. In it you will find the three colors that Weber produced in the 26" size that year. As a marketing strategy, Weber also gave names to the different size and colored kettles. The 26" Copper Mist which you have was called the Chief. The 22" copper mist was called the Warrior and the 18" size was called the Brave. 26"ers were produced in black (Fleetwood), red (Aristocrat), copper mist (Chief).
http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2017/02/17/1969-weber-catalog/
Weber produced one other colored 26" and it was called the Westerner. You can find in pictured in the 1968 catalog link below.
http://weberkettleclub.com/weber-catalogs/1968-weber-catalog.pdf
There is one blue 26"that exists but blue was never offered for sale to the public.

Quote from: jiveturkey1 on November 20, 2018, 12:14:26 AMYup. Kettlebb and I knew each other before Weber entered our lives. My wife converted me to Weber, then I converted Kettlebb. Lancaster isn't far; you probably drive through my town (Delaware) on your way there. Kettlebb is closer to Lancaster as he is near Commercial Point.Quote from: Schaefd2 on November 19, 2018, 06:34:31 PMThanks. I'll definitely keep him in mind if I decide to sell. You guys in Ohio? I'm in SW Michigan, my son used to live in Lancaster. I've been from here to there many timesQuote from: jiveturkey1 on November 19, 2018, 05:13:29 PMFirst, Congratulations!! I'm stoked you found this in the wild!! Second, please enjoy this one thoroughly!! I was just saying a big IF you decide later on to move it along.Quote from: Schaefd2 on November 19, 2018, 12:59:37 PMI will.
Holy shit!! Good for you bro!!
.....I can feel kettlebb rolling in agony right now. So close but yet so far. Jiveturkey if you decide to turn this one, please give kettlebb a call.

Right now I'm definitely feeling like keeping and loving it. I would entertain offers though but I don't want to turn this into that.
I'm just happy I was able to aquire it right now! And seeing how many slabs of ribs I could fit on it

Congrats! That's a heck of a score. Glad it worked out well. And props on making sure they were really ready to let it go. I'm the same way...would have felt bad leaving them with regrets. Both parties came out happy...nothing better than that!

Yeah, I tried not to be too pushy and really kinda felt bad that $150 bought his "baby". I'm okay with it now though

It's nice to know though that there's interest in it within driving distance.
Ohio is pretty down there

Sir please don't feel bad for buying that beautiful grill. If the guy didn't want to let it go he wouldn't have done so. You should be damn proud to own and cook on that kettle. Now, get some ribs going pronto!

Thanks. I have a big cook I'm doing Sunday, 6 full slabs of spareribs with tips attached. Normally I would hang them in the UDS. I'm going to put them on the Chief

Nice story and nice find. I didn't see an ash pan with it. Do you need one? If so, PM me. I have exact reproduction pans that I distribute for @Bertl . Send me a PM if you need a pan.

Quote from: kettlebb on November 21, 2018, 05:10:18 AMYeah. The 26 is big but you're right, it's a lot of meat. My UDS could handle it no problem at all, done it many times. Probably stretching the Cheifs limits but I think I'd like to give him a chance.
