This particular grill damn near ended up with me when it was posted a few years back. I was home from work sick that day when I received a text from my wife that there was a black nib MT listed in Milwaukee. I wasn't the first responder and I lost out on the grill that day. When the buyer posted it was a GB Packer MT I was really sick!!
Through some good fortune it ended up in the hands of @brewtownbeatdown Mike and I are in contact quite a bit and he was always giving me some good natured ribbing about the MT he had. I finally broke him down and he offered up the grill. Lol.
We met up yesterday for breakfast, and BS'd for a while and exchanged some grills. As a bonus @einrej joined us for breakfast and BS too. Always nice meeting with both these fellas!!
Thanks again for a you do Mike. It's very much appreciated.

Those NFL MTs are so awesome! I've got a Bears SJ but haven't seen a MT before. Anyone have one out of curiosity?

Heard only very few of each team were made in the large size, so congratulations.
I'm guessing @brewtownbeatdown has several interesteing very recent acquisitons or one really, really, really nice one. So, congratulations to him to.

It really is something special. I'm happy to have had this one in my collection!!! I ended up acquiring it from a former member, for a good chunk of change, but wasn't sure how exactly I wanted to spotlight it. Was NEVER gonna be put into rotation. Being NIB, there's something cool about keeping it that way. However, then it's not on display (which requires cleaning/dusting). I've been friends with Dennis for a few years, but until last year, I never realized that Gen.1 MTs were his "grail collection". After finding this out, I kinda knew what I should do with my Packer MT. One day Dennis texted me something like "I finally got a brownie MT...now my collection is complete". Anyone that knows me, knows I like to bust balls. So...I ecstatically text him back "Congrats, but you're still missing one!!!" with this pic:

Of course, I didn't immediately let on my intentions. Had to take some wind out his sails, before offering it to him. However, I wasn't done F'ing with him. So I threw out an over the top eBay kinda price, just to make it seem way outta reach. After a couple weeks, I decided to get serious & start the dealing. We all know that I coulda put it on eBay & likely gotten a payday, but true friends come before funds any day. I'm also not one who feels right profiting much from friends, so we settled for just below my purchase price + a Euro Ivory SJ + a promise. Well Dennis being Dennis, decided to throw in some extra goodies, including these pristine grails:

I'll miss having it in my collection, but knowing that it's in "the right place" makes it easier. Helps to have a Packers SJ to stare at still.

Great explanation Mike. I tried getting all my thoughts of the entire chain of events written up, but I would have had about 3 pages of text. You summed everything up just right.
The ride back home that day took about a half hour longer than normal as I had to stop a few times just to make sure it was really a NIB Packer MT.
As a lifelong Packer fan growing up 25 miles from Lambeau Field really make this grill special. That along with the complete MT1 collection I have is over the top.
Thank you again for making a dream kettle acquisition come true. It's people like you that make this HANDS DOWN the best Weber kettle group there is.
Btw if you look closely that one "pristine grail" I threw in the deal has a brown bowl if that counts for anything.

Congrats on the score. I knew I couldn't be the only one with a matched pair.

First NITB NFL MT I have seen.
I am still on the hunt for the Chiefs NFL Genesis that seems to be even rarer
than the MT.

Very nice duo! I also have a NIB never assembled Packer SJ I picked up a few years back. I'll have to get them together one of these days.
