I have noted this blog before, which is fantastic for its foodtography, but I stumbled across the above gem of a post.  I might try to contact the gentleman with that grill.

I've never seen a 18inch gas kettle that is a killer grill!

Thanks for the pics CS, but i hope folks also click through to the site.  He deserves the hits IMO.

Isn't that the one Reilly was tracking down? If i'm not mistaken this is the grill that made Reilly join tvwbb and post a wanted ad and share some of his collection.

This is out of the 1981 Catalog

Hey G$ and everyone, I had to post and thank you all for the kind words about my blog and the sad update on the gas kettle.

After spending a few days with it, I knew I wanted to fire it up on a return trip.  This is, of course, when I learn my Uncle got rid of it.  I about died.  It really wasn't it that bad of shape.  In fact, the cutting board side table that came with it, was inside the house, and in pristine condition.

I documented the grill in hopes others would appreciate such a find.  It looks like you all did.

Grill on!

Mike,

Thanks for sharing that great history! I enjoyed your blog and will check it out again. Sorry to hear the kettle left the family.

Mike, thanks for joining us and giving that update!  I hope you will stick around or drop in to the WKC from time to time.  I am SURE you can appreciate our weber fanaticism.....

Gang, is this the specific grill ed tracked down then?

[AnotherPintPlease]

Thanks, guys, I certainly will.  I definitely love the Weber vibe here!

Yes! Most of us were. I was the OP on that one. Good times.

Amazing that so few people commented. Tells you the value of the kettle there to here.  That thread would have a lot more diverse posters here. Makes me appreciate this place all over again. Thanks again for starting a site for kettle lovers.
