Part of the stable out from winter storage
« on: May 26, 2013, 06:20:40 AM »
Well I was able to take some time to spend on some of my Webers gathered over the winter. Weather here just won't cooperate. Fired up Old Yeller for the first time.



I was amazed that the color change was almost immediate when the coals were added.

In action.

In the cooler to steam, while the meat went on.


Now off to do some more cleaning...

Awesome!
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Thanks all! Just came in from cleaning another. I will add to this thread later. Wood Dale is cleaned, but have the wheel issue, won't be posting until it is on legs... :( Hoping to get a full family picture at some point... I have only been able to share it bits and pieces.

That 70s Collection!  :D  I love it!! I was inspired today to fire up my '79 redhead for the first time since I've had it. Love that yellow and lime.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing at least two colors from that era. Me and Aman were slow on the draw for
the Avocado that got away...

I think Avocado is the only 70s color your missing. Unless you count 1979......then you need a dark blue and a dark green then. But you've got the early balance of the decade covered.  :)

Get them out! I think my RedHead is a 79 too. has the raised logo. It was good day yesterday to have finally got them together. Wife was actually impressed with the Yellow turning orange, then the conversation went south, when she asked if I would put it in the garden with a pot of flowers! :o You kidding me!

Thanks Craig! I will be on the lookout. They may be even harder to find in this area. I see Brain has the Blue. I like that era, was when I graduated high school and know idea what a Weber was. That era
was about the natural gas grills hooked up in the back yard...

As tempted as I am to go get a new blue OTG since its the last year for blues, I'd much rather have a '79-'80 blue with metal handles. Those are so cool!
