Winter is slowly loosing it’s grip in the US Midwest. I know it is even though we are expecting 4″-8″ (100cm-200cm) of snow today. On the other hand, we have no sub-zero temperatures predicted and may actually see the high go above freezing this week (for the first time since January 15.) Yay! Meanwhile, things…
I nearly shat myself on Saturday when this ULTRA RARE GRILL appeared on eBay. Not only is this cow skulled beauty the rarest of rare – it’s also in fantastic condition. According to the Weber Timeline, the Westerner became available in 1958. This specific grill is 1962 or older. Even though this grill is MISSING…
Things are still kinda slow here at WKC with the cold winter going on but the forums heated up quite a bit this weekend. An original Weber Westerner- a 1960’s brown and white 26.75″ Weber kettle with two longhorn bull heads printed on the bowl showed up on eBay this Staruday! For many Weber lovers, this…
One month and one Super Bowl down in 2014. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for being victorious over the Broncos! Did you see any Weber’s in the gameday ads? There was a redhead that almost looked like one, but it had four legs. In case you missed it, the WKC football bbq cooking guide is still up…
The Superbowl is the biggest sporting event of the year but it’s also the best event of the year to show your guests that you are MVP of the bbq grill. Studies also show that armchair quarterbacks are more more effective when you have a stomach full of bbq so never watch a game hungry…
First of all I will point out that the title of this post uses an ISO 8601 standard format, making it understandable ’round the world. 😀 Next I will draw attention to the article on WKC member 1Buckie and referenced in this post. Buckie is the kind of guy who makes this site what it…
1Buckie (Ken) is our first WKC featured member in 2014. I first ran into Buckie in 2012 and he always had these massive smoked cooks and rows of kettles a smokin’. I would also probably describe him as a ‘turd fiend as he cooks tons of them (literally). 1Buckie is a true Grillfella as he’s got the…
Many of us chuckle when we hear someone speak of “grilling season” as if there is a certain time of year that is suitable for firing up our Weber kettles. For us, grilling season is 12 months long, regardless of region or climate. One of the strengths of the covered kettle is that you can…
Are we far enough into the new year so that writing 2013 on checks is no longer a problem? (Do our younger members even know what checks are? 😉 ) The polar temperatures in the US Midwest have left and been replaced by snow which will be replaced by more frigid temperatures in a few…
Hello WKC! It’s so cold that some of our members have resorted to cooking ribs in a crock pot. Don’t be that guy! Hank is working on a “Winter Grilling” with tips and tricks on how to use your kettle in the cold. Meanwhile, in the Bay Area it is a balmy 50-60 degrees so…
