So I have 6 kettles but none have really great stories behind them. This is the closest I've got to a great story. Well anyways, woke up this morning, wife and kids were on a shopping trip a few hours away. Did my usual morning ritual looked at Wkc forum, eBay, then Craigslist search for webers, and an estate sale pops up. Huh, looked through the ad, oh gas weber grill. Emailed the lister about the potential for any kettles on the property, told him I collected them. Received this response....
Decided to go anyways, planned on smoking a pork butt a bit later but I had some time to kill, and it was only 20 min from my home. Pulled in the drive walked into the storage shed. Saw an older guy holding a newer weber chimney. Surely there's a kettle around here right? This is what I found....
I asked the old man how much he wanted for it. Five dollars was his reply.
Gave it a quick cleanup when I got home. I know it's not a grail, but man 5 dollars! I'm giddy about it. Here it is cleaned. This thing must have only been used a few times. Thanks for looking.
