Wow, some really gorgeous grills here fellas! Let's hope the 2015 kettle hunting season is just as plentiful!

If I had to pick only one I think it would be the Pat. Pending Chief 



But these were all a close tie for 2nd...






Great thread @MrHoss - and Happy New Years everybody!

2014 was a great year, I started collecting kettles in February so all of the grills other than my 2002 black OTS were acquired this past year. As for my favorite, I would have to pick the Pat. # Redhead.



I do have to say that the yellow 18 is a very close second. I really love the yellows.



I'd like to give a special thanks to @harris92. Both of these grills came from him and he was the one that introduced me to this great site.  HNY to everyone.

Chief: I MUST & WILL Learn to copy those whitewalls on my identical pair this year!

Yellow 18: Dayum!! What a find, and send it to me to study!

Red Smokey: Welcome to the Red offset club!

Wow - there are some amazing kettles across the WKC last year.  I love looking at the pics posted and it is so cool that many have been fortunate to acquire the kettles they have been searching for.  Great stuff.


While I was fortunate enough to score an older ranch (Roswell) and a grail of grails (The Westerner) during the year, I have to say that Bisbee is still my favorite kettle.  It has taken on some different looks throughout the year, but it will always be the main kettle I use for cooking and will always remain with me

I acquired a lot of Webers in 2014. Gassers, WSMs, kettles old and not so old. My favorite for the year has to be my 26.75" OTG that @G$ agented for me. Here she is sunbathing with her 22.5" and 18.5" sisters.


My close second is my 18.5" pat.# MBH that was given to me by @AZ Mikey!

Well, I jumped into the Kettle game, slightly on accident. We already had a Weber Genesis gasser and a Go-Anywhere gasser. I just felt the urge to get a regular kettle and I was lucky enough to have my wife score me a 26.75 OTG for fathers day of 2014. From there...things went pretty fast. I fell in love with charcoal cooking and was doing what we all do, surfing the net looking at bbq "stuff" That is how I landed here. Then I started to scour CL every few days as I decided I wanted to get a 22.5 OTG to compliment my larger one. I got pretty lucky and found one that I posted before for 25.00. I have since replaced the cooking grate and just yesterday ordered a new charcoal grate as both have a reasonable amount of rust. I am guessing the prior owner didnt really know how to control the fire and often used water to tame it, causing the rust and deterioration of the grates. I still need to replace the front leg of the 22.5 to make the restoration complete and I am tossing the idea of modernizing the handles to have the built in utensil hooks.

Then...for Christmas, I scored the 22.5 WSM (I know this isnt TVWB). For me, this really completes my Weber collection at this point. My next project will be to build all of these into an outdoor cooking area/kitchen on our covered patio. I have some ideas, but I need to enlist some help to make this happen.

  I got this new Ivory Kettle , it's a little hard to see in this picture. I put the Zebra wood handle on it like @604 did

[MrHoss]

@Idahawk ^^^^^^is classic!!!

[SixZeroFour]

lol - it accents the ivory beautifully!

[Craig]

@Idahawk Is that the 2015 Ivory finish or the old 2014?

[JDD]

@Idahaawk Wow you guys are getting a lot of snow out there! LOL

[charred]

Love seeing all these Kool Kettles.

Ida- LMAO.

I picked up a few neat kettles in '14, but I can't say there was a close 2nd to this freebie:
