A very realistic scale version of a Weber Kettle. Very detailed steel stampings, grates, fake charcoal, and aluminum ash pan. Perfect size for 18″ dolls, and was sold to American Girl collectors.

One of a series of lanterns made in a range of colors for Weber.

MartyG’s NIB Smokey Joe Platinum (Original Jumbo-Joe) that was taken in on a trade for a very clean redhead a while back. As usual, I couldn’t wait for Brian to make me a KOA handle, and his artistry on these handles is extraordinary. 2006 was the final production year for the Smokey Joe Platinum.
