How many were collectors before finding this website?

[Hell Fire Grill]

Im not a collector. I have one kettle, and it belongs to someone else.

[brewtownbeatdown]

Always been a Weber guy, but don't believe I was a collector. Until I joined the group, I had a 22" OTS w/ roti, a Ranch kettle, & just purchased Performer. Have had SJ, GA, & 22" grills that came & went. Always black.

I'm definitely a collector now!!!  Have a lot of color now w/ 20+ treasures. Thanks to the wealth of info here, my collection is growing & my wallet is shrinking.

I was not a collector before I got my ER code SS Performer last spring.  Started watching this site and didn't add additional grills until I joined here.  I have since added a brand new SJS, Simpsons SJS, an EE  22" Economy kettle, and 2 teleflora minis.  I wouldn't quite call myself a collector yet, and my patio limits my ability to do so.  I will pick up any red haeads or red performers in a heartbeat though if I come across them on CL or other places....and I am always looking!

I'm NOT A COLLECTOR!

I'm just a guy who wants a yellow kettle. And maybe a blue and a green. And a Ranch.

Sounds like a lot of people collected prior to the site but it has definitely had an influence on the severity of their addictions.

Do NOT tell my wife that I have another addition  ...  she said cigars and single malt was enough.                        SJ

I like your style, sir.

I had owned Weber grills for years, collector?... No just tools to cook food on. Then this happened and I became a collector.

"Hello,
Can you tell me if my grill is a Weber or an older knock off? Made of heavy gauge steel, 1 lid vent, 1 lower vent. No manufacture names or numbers. No holes in the lower legs for a triangular tray.
What year? Value?
Thanks,
E"


Then harris92 Posted this on the WKC

Thanks, harris92.

I wasn't a collector before I found this site but I did have my 22" blue platinum kettle and a blue Genesis gasser.  After finding this site I have added 1 blue 22" gold, 4 brownies, 1 plum, 1 dark green and 1 lime Smokey Joe.  Been worth it and has been a lot of fun.

I was not a collector...I had one 2009 performer in black.  I now have:

1978 Red MBH
1969-70 Patent Pending Avocado
Blue SS performer
Simpsons Smokey Joe
2014 Copper One Touch Gold
2008 18.5 WSM
And a early 80s brownie waiting for me in STL...

And I'm really looking for the elusive yellow!

I've been collecting cookware for close to 30 years and I have many areas of interest in that genre . I dig cast iron restoration , old appliances  and wood fired cook stoves. I collect camping cookware and camp stoves , Vintage Coleman water jugs ( there round and come in colors go figure ) waffle irons , coffee pots , cooking utensils , bottle openers and of course smokers and grills from various manufactures.

I few years ago I was gathering some Weber kettles off CL for a friend who was opening a restaurant , I came across an 18.5 Cado that I simply fell in love with and so I decided to do some research on it and found the newly formed WKC.

I had two kettles before I joined Wkc, now I have eight....

[MrHoss]

Didn't think I was a collector till I pulled up my first post. I had Black and Blue OTGs, a 22 WSM and had just driven 4 hours round trip to pick up a Black 22 economy 3 wheeler that had me super exited. Using a Kettle for about a year at that point had me fully into loving the product. Had no need for the Blue OTG or the 3 wheeler but home they came. Frequenting TVWBB as well as this place influenced me..... @harris92 and @Jeff 's pictures made me drool before joining......Harris's "Red Line" shots were a primary motivational factor. So yeah I was on my way to Weberitis already. Getting to know you guys has just made it worse.



The Red MBH beside the Aristocrat is from Harris and I believe it is in those Red Line pictures that got me going....how cool is that boys. Damn cool I say.

[harris92]

@MrHoss  The "New Red Line" is on the agenda.  The line has grown in length.

Prior to being here, people would search me out just to tell me where to find a free kettle they saw.....or search me out to give me one they had or had found.....
