Who owns a Ranch Kettle?
« on: March 03, 2013, 06:44:40 PM »
I'm taking a private poll of sorts. I'm curious as to how many of us own a Ranch Kettle? Let me start by saying I do not. Just curious as to how prevalent they are among the faithful? Also, anyone know the distance from the cooking grate to the ground? I was curious how tall one of these sat up off the ground?

This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

I have a total of three.  Two are older models, not for cooking.  One normal looking one for cooking at church picnics and block parties.  Maybe twice a year.  I will measure and get it posted.  That is if somebody else doesn't get to it first.

It is 30 1/2" from the cooking grate to the ground. I do not have one, but my brother has 2 (I'm trying like hell to talk him out of one!) and he measured it for me. Hope this helps.

I have one. I wouldn't have bought it but I found it for $125 BIN on Ebay 45 min from my parents house. I've only used it 2x and prob wont bust it out until I go back home for a summer party. It's way overkill for normal sized groups but alot of fun to use.

Damn pbe - THAT is a great score.  Did you ask why they were selling? (so cheap)
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!

Only after I bought it! It was one of those cases where he used it a few times a year, but took up too much space in the yard.

Wow, $125 for a ranch, I would have bought another one at that price!  That was a once in a life time grap on that.
