Title: Back When........
Post by: bamakettles on April 29, 2025, 11:50:19 AM
April 2020, when the Weber excitement began for me.... Just a few random pictures of the fun we were having shut in from Covid, all pics from April 2020 when my collecting began.  Also the year we lost our friend Phil N Florence.  I never met him, but learned a lot and really enjoyed his videos on YouTube.  His channel is still up and intact - just a guy who loved to cook and do mods on his grills.

Hope you like the pics - some of you may recall a few of them.

Cheers!

You found so many Redheads and Brownies so quickly. Great lineups on your deck. These photos don't have any yellow ones. Didn't you find some of those as well?

It was a couple years later I believe.... bought one 22" Gourmet from a member here, then found one in California a little later and finally a 18" Yachtsman in Georgia south of Atlanta.  That was a fun trip!

Beautiful grills.
Were you are to complete your lantern collection?
I'm still missing the elusive blue and green (but not willing to pay current Ebay price).

I am missing the blue one as well for a complete set. Ebay prices are too rich for my blood on that one.

No kidding! I'll just keep my fingers crossed for luck locally. Garage sale season is here again. :D
