Title: Shoulda Known Better.....
Post by: bamakettles on May 12, 2025, 10:27:44 AM
Went into Walmart at lunch today.... Wasn't planning on doing this.... Tried my best to resist....

Fresh pallet of a dozen, all spotless with no dents or dings in the boxes.  I almost ran to get a cart lol.  It's in the storage unit now, will debut on July 4th - more than likely as a conversation piece or a drink service cooler.

Cheers!

That's what you get for going to Walmart.  ;D

Sure, sure - we believe that! LOL

I didn't think they were going to be in stores - online only.  :-\

That's what I thought as well.... Now I have to resist getting another one lol.  It would just be for investment you know... Yeah, that's what I'm telling myself. ;)

I broke down and did the same on Saturday night. I was trying out a couple of
new bourbon's that I picked up last week and it was all over.  Wallyworld
delivered it to my front door yesterday morning at 7:30am.  I had a piece
of maple and piece of glass to fit a red kettle that I have been using as
a drink table for years.  This flag kettle will now be used occasionally
in it's place on the appropriate national holidays.

Great idea!  I'll be thinking about some way to customize mine so it's a one of a kind.  Fun to have a little Weber excitement today!

Nice. I saw FedEx deliver my birthday present on the Ring camera. Haha. My wife generally shakes her head at me for all of my kettles and now she bought one for me.

And assembly complete!  Put some custom wheels and blue anodized shaft collars on, thinking I'll stick with stock handles for now.  Ready for the 4th!

Cheers

Now I wish that I had snagged one when I was in the U.S. last month.
I had figured it was online ordering only. Oh well.
