Looks sharp! I'm in for one. Can we move the front logo to the left chest area?

send me the lot asap
love the work of the WKC

Blue looks good but is the small logo on the front going to be centered or over to the left like on the red logo shirts? I prefer over to the left.
Yellow would be cool too :D

That's easy.....pick up a few more kettles ;D
-
YES!!!!!! To all of that! ;D
-
Nice job on the design and color. Looking forward to seeing the handles.
Does this mean that the current shirts are now the equivalent of a MTH in terms of collect ability?

we're going to center it.
Several shirts had their print damaged during shipping because it's impossible to fold the shirt into an envelope without the print being on a folded edge. Then the envelope goes through a sorting machine and it pinches the print where its folded and causes problems.

Awesome job guys. Love it. I NEED it!.......

It's a fake. WKC lawyers have already made contact. Seller will be forced to burn remaining counterfeit stock using lighter fluid and Kingsford Matchlight in a Brinkmann smoker.

Can't wait to order some shirts and handles. This site rocks!🔥

MAJOR announcement coming this weekend that includes:
Funny, less than a year ago you wanted nothing to do with my idea of a Members Only section...
negatives:
- content invisible to non logged in users doesn't bring in search traffic
- content invisible to non logged in users doesn't show the value of the community and entice them to sign up, engage, and be a part of the community. It could be argued that if they KNOW there's more content available if they sign up and log in that they would do so - but it rarely works that way. Today's society is skeptical, a 'join to post' is standard practice - a 'join to get exclusive content' is difficult to pull off without sounding gimmicky.
- the line between what should be exclusive/hidden and what should be public is difficult to define. everyone will have a differing opinion, and human nature will likely err to the exclusive side more often than not. Now we've got average content in an exclusive, hidden forum. A moderator makes the call to make it public, the original poster loses self confidence and loses a portion of his or her motivation to engage.
I've been involved in social media and community development for a long time =D
In my experience, great content and amazing members who contribute it will always be the biggest and best asset that a community can have.

Uh oh....the gloves are off!!

Hey can we have Member's Only jackets with a WKC logo to commemorate the new section?

Is it credit you are looking for?

I doubt it's credit he's looking for, maybe an explanation for the change of heart? The response from before was pretty detailed. Just my opinion though...
-
I'll explain. Just not right now.
It's not really a change of heart, it's more of a compromise. ;)

I'm good Troy, I don't need an explanation. Whatever works, right?
-
As Terry said - not credit at all. I
Just ironic that Troy was adamant about ~not~ having invisible content less than a year ago. But all of a sudden, not only has the tide changed 180 degrees, but it's a major announcement. I just couldn't think of any circumstances where I stood firmy on an opinion only to completely flip-flop a short time later. Which is probably why I'd suck at being a politician. :D
-
To be clear, no single forum category is moving to a logged in members only.
We can discuss politics more when there are more details announced. In the meantime, maybe we can get back to being excited about shirts and handles?

The new design and color are great. Would love to see a new design every year, and it would certainly augment sales and fund raising.
-
The t-shirt looks amazing! Hope you can ship to Canada. ??? ???
Very interested about the handles, as well. :)
-
Will ship to Canada. But costs a little extra. I'll figure out details :)

That's great, Troy! Thank you. We are used to paying a little extra up here. :-\
I am wondering if the T will be the same as the original with a 50/50 cotton-poly mix?
Or will it be one of those 95% cotton, 5% spandex?
The only reason I ask, is that I find I need to adjust for size. Thanks. :D
-
Nice shirt! Very interested in getting one.
-
i realized last night that "members only forums' was a poor choice of words.
more details soon, hopefully i'll have some free time tonight to finish the page.
-
My problem with the shirt is that the kettle is not red.
So I just ordered an old style shirt 8)
-
Shirts sweet!......handles even BETTER!!!! 8)
-
So we have a glimpse of the shirt, how about the handles?
-
:o this shirt might bring me out of retirement. 8)

Health, Trucking and just living have taken a mighty toll on my time. I've never not been here. I'm just not as vocal as I once was. This is still my favorite place to wind down the day. ;)

Welcome back to posting Bob!

i'll try to get the pre-order page up for wkc handles and new shirts this weekend.
I will likely explain more details on the subscription options as well, depending on how the weekend birthday activities go.
-
It's your birthday? If so, happy birthday!
-
No. Its my 17 year old daughters birthday.
thanks though!

Troy - did you get the artwork via dropbox for the new shirts?

i bought a bathroom scale just for doing that.
I need to find a box that will hold a couple 18s, a lantern, and some rubs.
