I was thinking about stopping by for a while to meet some fellow kettle heads and check out some of the grills on display. I don't have any old enough / nice enough kettles for displaying.

addicted to charcoal...


Age of grills doesn't matter. Bring some to display. These are our "classic cars" . Dings, scrapes or chips (if any) add to the grill's character.
Thanks for the inspiration Craig. My battered Brownie is loaded in the trunk and today's garage sale find is all polished up. Loading that in the morning.

Yes!!!! That's what  it's all  about! Looking forward to it!

Also, looks like a gorgeous day on tap for the event. High of 79! Low humidity.

Due to a last minute issue we won't be there until around 2:00. What's the official schedule anyway?

I grabbed variety of chips and salsa, plates, napkins and some more plastic wear to contribute.

I will likely have pictures tomorrow, it was a great day,  great people,  great kettles and great food.   There was one incident caught on camera, more details on that later.

"Kettle Row" is astounding !!!!

I just stumbled in the front door,  lol! I had a great time! It was overwhelming seeing so many holy grails in one place!  Everyone was  great to talk to and learned quite a bit today. Thanks Brian for the hospitality,  and opening your home to a bunch of kettle heads and take care of my baby ranch! Thanks guys!
