WKC confessions

[PotsieWeber]

I once bought a gas grill, over a decade ago, around 2003 perhaps.
Never had one before or since.
It wasn't even a Weber.
I don't remember the brand, but it came with a propane tank & I bought it end of year on clearance.  It was pretty cheap.
I finally got rid of it early this year.
It sat in the backyard unused the entire time, until I threw it out (it kind of looked like hell from the weather).
I also had an 18" WSM that I used both as a smoker & a charcoal grill (where you throw one of the grates on the bottom over the coals & then put the bottom on the grate on the middle section to raise it, & then just use the lid even though it doesn't have a lip on it.
So, I just never got around to using the propane grill.

My wife and I were gifted a cheap Walmart portable charcoal grill when we got married. I told her we'd never use it as charcoal sucks. It takes too long to light and puts ash all over your food. We didn't grill for 3 years while we lived in our apartment. Once we bought our house, her parents gifted us a Char-Broil has grill. I gladly used it and made food that I thought was great (looking back it was mediocre). That grill quickly turned to shit due to the cheap factor.

Research and @schaefd2 turned me to the light and I'm not going back.

I once got a 100 dollar big lots drum grill, i loved the look of the big drum offset style grills. Still do. Used ti light it with half a bottle of lighter fluid too.  But then one day i wanted an upgrade and started looking for webers.

I lost 2 Weber grills in 2 separate divorces I sure do miss those grills ! Now I have an awesome wife and over 60 Weber's

I really don't like cleaning kettles.

Colors don't do it for me.

My practical sense cannot understand why anyone would have a "looker."

To me "MLH" = "Burns on your hand"

I bought a Red SSP last fall, really excellent shape.
Found a place that would fill the old 5lb propane tank even though it didn't have the newer style handle that indicates it has an overfill protection, but it did have a sticker saying it had overfill protection.
I attached it to the SSP & still have no idea if the ignitor works.
Haven't used it.
I use a chimney & crinkled up newspapers, like I've done for a long time.

I bought a 22" rotisserie, pizza kettle, and a 18 blue OTG that I bought a year ago that are still just sitting in my garage waiting to be used. And I will, some day!

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

Every once in a while, I consider posting an offer to trade my NOS likely early patent pending olive colored grill or maybe to do a write up about it, but not include any pictures.

No doubt someone would come along and say something like "Weber's official name for that color is 'advocado'".

Then, I'd reply "No, I meant the other olive color".

I have 4 kettles at home with another 3 in my storage unit that the wife doesn't know about yet 😬

Every time I tell myself no more grills something comes up and buy (or at least try to) it. 

Maybe I should say that more often.

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

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