How many is "too many" kettles for normal cooking use?

They see it the wrong way... as if they're buckets or ladders. No, my friend, these are my collection and I know what all their birthdays are.

Well I use two almost every time I cook.  Two 22 Performers.  And sometimes 18" gets called up.  But some nights I just use the 18" for pizza as it just seems to cook them better.  So I could not get away with less than two.  But I also cook on them at least 7 times a week..

Cooking tonight's dinner on two 26 kettles.

I think the most I've used at once was five 22s and a 26. That was an extreme example though.

I tell my wife that I need both 26rs and twelve 22s.

Another way to look at is...how many burners does your range have?  How about the oven?  Single or double?  Microwave?

I usually cook on one 22.5" kettle, frequently on two, and for my son's homecoming dinner this year, three. You can't cook pork loin, chicken thighs, and veggies in a wok on less than three kettles!

@1buckie, ABTs with Butter Pecan ice cream? You are a mad, sick, freaky genius! NTTAWWT! What were the ABTs stuffed with?

@Harbormaster

The upper one is vanilla bean w/ probably tandoori spiced cream cheese & the little ones are habanero / blueberry's

The lower on might be straight cream cheese w/ maybe chicken br. strips......

Almost forgot.....'Turds 'a'la Mode.............

I don't understand the question:

I've had two 22's and my 18 going at the same time many times.  My dream scenario would be to host a potluck and have a dozen 22's lined up for guest use.

I am not up to running more than 1 or 2 kettles yet, at least I don't think so!  I can barely keep up with one tri-tip or chicken on the grill I have!

Awesome pics above, btw!

I have my first grill I use all the time my Platinum Performer and in case I needed more room I have a 22" OTG.  For just heating and mainly if my grand daughter wanted something quick I just bought a Silver Genesis in blue for those quick hotdogs.  These are the ones I use all the time.  A few times I year I will have two or all three going depending on how many people are eating.  Thanksgiving will be when I use all three at the same time.

I may do veggies on an 18, main meal on the 22, but when I'm feeling all '50s-'60s demo guy, I do it all on a 22 or my 26. Theres no such thing as too many..
