Featured is a 1967 Weber Seville owned by WKC member, Jeff. Weber has recognized 2 models of the Seville, one being this model that is featured, and another model referred to by some as the “Chariot” based on its appearance and similarities to large wheel carriages that were pulled by animals throughout history.

Featured here is a vintage Weber charcoal caddy owned by WKC member Jeff. Based on actual Weber literature, this caddy was offered as early as 1963 at a price of 12.95, and as late as 1972 with a price up to 19.95. It was described by Weber as the no-mess way to handle charcoal. Keep…
This dark blue 22.5 kettle is owned by WKC member Craig. This kettle is unique in that it is a 1980 “B” code lid paired with a 1981 “C” code bowl. It is interesting to note that 1980 was the final year for the metal bowl handled kettles and 1981 marked the first year of…

Gone are the days of a welded (and painted!) strap style handle – we are now provided with a new bolt on design…

With proper usage, a vacuum sealer will pay for itself within its first year. Here are some of my favorite uses: Planned BBQ Leftovers – Everytime I fire up the…
