Troy Redington Troy is the Chief Mucky Muck of the Weber Kettle Club. He has been grilling and barbecuing with a hardcore passion since 2001. Despite being one of the internet's earliest BBQ bloggers, he didn't jump on the Weber wagon until June of 2010 - just four short years ago. When Troy made the switch to Weber, he went hunting for a red Weber Performer to honor his father who had the iconic red Weber during Troy's childhood. Unfortunately, by 2010, Weber was no longer making the red color. Troy chose a blue grill to pay homage to his friend Tim who had gotten him into grilling and eventually convinced him to buy a Weber. While researching methods of finding a red grill, Troy met Jeff K, Brian, and AJ. Together they became The Four Horsemen of Weber Kettles. Together, these 4 had more collective Weber charcoal grill knowledge and passion than anyone.  With the help and encouragement of the other founders - Troy started the WKC. Today Troy owns several red Weber grills - including the 1987 OTS that was his Fathers.
