I found mine while the wife was out if town. She came home and I had left it out in the open. Right on top of my workbench. Thought it might be best if she discovered it on her own. That didn't work. She walked past it about ten times. Never saw it.
She sat down to read a book and it was killing me. I got up went to the garage picked it up and carried it into the living room.
The look I got..... wow. But I explained I didn't have a Jumbo yet and that it fits perfectly in my trunk fully assembled for taking to other peoples houses that lack a Weber to cook on.
 Followed by my oldest inquiring about what date code was on the vent. I told her that it was an 06 and her eyes lit up. Dad it's from the year I was born!
I think she's hooked on Webers too. She will try anything that comes off of one.

Awesome score! Glad you found my new favorite kettle. You are right, it looks like a bloated SJ.

Congrat's, that's the perfect size for a camping machine.  Take the taste of outdoor cooking with you out-of-doors  ...   that's got to be a Weber marketing pitch :)
