I frequently visit the bbq-brethren site quite a bit and one day last January I realized, "Holy Cow! I don't have a Weber kettle!". It's such a staple of American BBQ history, I figured I should have one. Shortly after that I found my first kettle, a black gas-assist SS Performer. I don't remember how I originally found this site (probably from a
@1buckie post) but after starting to visit this site and seeing so many cool kettles I started feeling the itch for more.
Over the past year I've gone full Weber addict. I now have two SS Performers, three Smokey Joes, two black 22s, a brownie 18, and "Roswell" a 1988 Ranch Kettle. The addiction hasn't been limited to kettles. I've also gotten a Weber Q320, a pretty cool Gas Kettle Performer and I even picked up a Weber Fire Pit and a Weber Chill cooler.
