Title: A Wyocena Yacht Club first!
Post by: Harbormaster on October 26, 2013, 10:17:01 AM
It's a cool and windy Autumn day here in South Central Wisconsin, and I decided I wanted to clean the shed and tidy up & organize before Old Man Winter rears his ugly head.

In order to do that, I had to get the Webers out, right?

And since they were out, I may as well get group shots just to prove I'm not all full of shit and that I really DO own 10 WSMs!

So, for the very first time, I present the Wyocena Yacht Club WSM collection:








(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/harbormasterwyc/Weber%20Portraits/Weberportraits002_zps623a5c2e.jpg)

Quite possibly the first time EVER that 10 WSMs in a single collection have been photographed together!

The four on the right are my everyday and competition pits. The two in the middle are the "B" (5th from the left) and a "C" (fifth from the right). The other four are just waiting for their turn to cook award winning BBQ.

And since we're taking family photos, I wheeled out the rest of the collection too. Because... well, you know... BECAUSE!

So here is the entire line-up of the Wyocena Yacht Club charcoal Weber collection:

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/harbormasterwyc/Weber%20Portraits/Weberportraits013_zpsd62851d1.jpg)

By my count, that's 24 Weber grills and smokers and a vintage Weber Wok and EVERY SINGLE Weber was used before I got it. I purchased none of them new. They were all saved from a lifetime of neglect, abuse, or worst of all - indifference.

(Just so you know, I was shocked when I saw how big this collection has gotten.)

I have wanted to do this for a very long time and I'm glad it's finally complete.

Thanks for looking.


Proud to be a member of this great forum.

Thanks for doing this, HM! Quite a nice collection you got there. So much black! Very classy. I read Brian's mind and he said you need more wood handles. ;) Cheers!

Very true. Except for the fact I'm not the least bit creepy.

Am I?

Anyone?

OMG...what a photo.  I still can't believe all those WSMs! 
Hey...where were you standing when you took the photo of all your grills together???  Where you on a roof???

Spectacular collection there, kudos.

That sums up how I feel about this hobby quite well. Second hand (or "damaged") grills are the bee's knees!

Step ladder. The sun dictated where I set up and the ladder was my only option.

I didn't think you were creepy either, but then again we are both Weber freaks so how would we know?

Very nice!

Did you add the side handles to your competition crew?

Title: Re: A Wyocena Yacht Club first!
Post by: Heyjude on October 28, 2013, 06:33:06 AM
That has to be the largest collections of WSM's outside of a Weber warehouse. (Or at least in the top 10)
Very nice.. 8)

I did. Those are some Stanley garage door handles that require just a little tweaking to get to fit. They are low enough profile for the covers to still fit.

I'll be using your pics to "reinstate" myself with the in-laws after being called out on owning so many Webers, so thanks for being "that creepy guy".    ;D
