78’ MBH lime, still in pieces. In my defense... I have stuff that is more rare, that I do cook on.

... interested in moving it along? 78 is my birthyear and I don't have a lime.

@inkaddictedchef1 just be patient. hint hint,  . 

I don't like MBH's. I usually just give them away. Yes, even the rare and colorful ones.

Before I learned about the chimney starter (years ago), I used lighter fluid (oh the horror!)

This is a cool thread, I feel like I should be lying on a couch while letting it all out LOL I should donate the customary hourly rate to the club

My kids are young so sometimes dinner can't take much time.  I contemplate getting a gas Go-Anywhere or small Q series for quick cooks but it's like the angel and devil on each shoulder.  I'm getting better at using the mini chimney and using very little charcoal on the CGA to speed up my time to start cooking.

At my job they call that donating you're "fair share" LOL

@kettlebb I had the same reservations until I found this Q at Lowes for a steal. I mainly use it for lean chicken to throw in my salads for work. Nothing will replace charcoal flavor but with good seasoning it's decent. I wouldn't pay full price for a gasser but for this Q BNIB I said it's now or never LOL.

I want to be your friend & I have relatives in CA that I can draft to pick up & store the rare & colorful ones for me.  Usually, I'm more subtle, but there are rare & colorful kettles at stake.

I have a big green egg on my patio so I can point to it when yuppie friends come over and they try to stunt.
Easy-off is your friend.
I will pay no more than $25 for a one touch gold.
Free kettles are usually too much effort.
Taco handles and extended bowl handles are ugly.
Gas assist sounds awesome but is overrated.
All I want is a 26" performer.
I want to try out an SCG.

Damn, for $50 BNIB that's great.  Thanks for the tip @JayyyR

Same here @pbe gummi bear I can ship from CA for a good price now so if you find any yellow, lime, blue, or chestnut MBH grills please shoot me a note.

I’m with you Lawrence

Although I like them, other than our original ‘78 we bought new, and a freebie ‘78 I just picked up, all my MBHs have moved on to happy owners - my 18 lime MBH, multiple MBH reds, a MLH, and yes, my favorite, the green ‘78 MBH.

Sold an Avocado Kamado, but still have the green Diem Kamado.

Gave some lighter fluid to my neighbor, but kept a bottle, just because.

Sold the Genesis 3K, but use the Copper Genesis all the time.

Don’t care for the CGAs, but really like the Lodge CI hibachi - special gift from Alvin.

I have more 22” accessories than actual 22” kettles.

I have a strict no taco tolerance rule.

I let a New Braunfels Bandera smoker rust out in the elements because I didn't have space for it in the garage. (The Webers take up FAR less floor space in the garage!). My wife is still mad at me over that one.

I purchased a complete SSP for $25 intending to scrap everything but the frame.  The bowl had the spiderweb pocs and the lid was bad faded.  I had plans for a portable sink and thought the frame would work perfectly. Got it home and remembered I had just replaced the lid and bowl on my Gen 2.  The extra bow and lid worked perfectly so now I have 2 great performers.  The project will still take place but I will find an old square tube frame gasser.

* I happen to like the "Taco" for the heat shield that keeps my hands from burning when picking up the lid, and protecting my Zav custom wood handles.
* I started out grilling YEARS ago with the blue bag and lots of lighter fluid. Thankfully, I saw the "Light".
* I was given an OLD Weber 22" kettle (marked as a Demo) as my first real grill years ago. Somewhere in a divorce, I lost it. Knowing what I know now, I wish I still had it... the grill, not my ex.
* I had a small camp size Coleman gasser that I used for camping. Hated it. It hit the trash after two years or so.
* I have learned there is a difference between "collecting" and "gathering"... not sure how to classify myself.
* I have found the older I get, the harder it is to stay away from "certain isles" in Lowes and HD... :-)

I have a red SSP.  I also have protanopia type colourblindness.
