So this is the grill that started me down this path around the time I joined the forum. I had been browsing around the net reading and learning about the Weber as I had never had one before.
I believe I told some of this story in my intro thread, but I'm going to tell some of it again here
After several weeks of this, my wife tells me to just order one. I was thinking about one of the Master Touch series, mostly because I wanted one of the colors. I love the Spring Green and my wife liked the Slate Blue. But I was hesitant at spending that kind of money on one. After more hunting and searching, I see someone here referenced BBQ Guys having a red premium. I thought that just might be the ticket. Sure it doesn't have as many features and extras, but I should be satisfied while saving a few bucks.
So I ordered it and it was delivered in a couple days. Only problem, for me, was that I found a very inexpensive black premium just hours after placing my order. I snagged it for 60 bucks along with another for 10 bucks a week later. All the whole I'm thinking I'll just sell the red one at a slight loss and move forward.
Only no one was interested in a new kettle at an almost new price. Understandable, but still disappointing. I was happy tho with my two black premium kettles. I used them for nearly every night for about three weeks! Then I found my next grill.
A copper performer with the gbs grates, skillet, and extra brand new regular grate, charcoal chimney and a pair of Weber baskets. All for 60 bucks!
Having the performer brought me up to 8 cookers of various shorts outside, my wife was finally getting annoyed! Haha. So, I sold the two lack premiums at a slight profit.
My poor lonely crimson kettle was just itching to be assembled. Today is the day! Got home early from work and had a little time before I had to take my son to baseball practice. So..... Tonight we cook!
What to cook on the all American grill to break it in? All American burgers of course! So a little over 2 hours from now I'll be light a chimney for the first cook on my first brand spankin' new crimson kettle!
It's just plain old ridiculous just how excited I am about this. But I know this will be an understanding group
TL; DR: I feel like a kid on Christmas morning about assembling and using a new grill that I've had for over a month.
