 Bravo Travis! Teach me oh wise one. My wife is slowly coming around also. She mentioned my "16" kettles in the garage. I said it's only 5 babe but one day...we will have 16. No pushback.

Looking for: Red MBH 26"(The Aristocrat), Chestnut-coppertone (The Estate), Glen-blue (The Imperial), and The Plainsman.

Edit - I just showed my bride this thread, my original response, then yours along with the picture. She at first says " don't get any ideas", then after I show her your storage picture with explanation of ages of a few of them she says " those are pretty!" I give her a kiss... Got her

@Travis ,Just remember, Rome was't built in a day. Don't spend stupid money, this was done on a very frugal budget.

Agreed and Great point. I don't have much of a budget anyways. I've got kids

I'm jealous... not of the grills, but of your ability to multi-task AND score all of those beauties!  Those are hellacious lineups!

@OGlenn , Great to hear from you. You know how it goes. Family first, hobby and sometimes things just happen... ^Spike^ and Kettle Karma! You get it ;)

Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.

I am in agreement with you Greg. The old MT profile with the thermometer housing and thermometer is my favorite.  Both my go to cookers are MT's. That blue is just stunning. Bravo!

@Travis @kettlebb - Best way to get your wife on board is to find the color of a kettle she really likes and hunt one down for her.  Once she has a kettle that you present as "hers", it will be all good from then on.

Well, being a newer fella here, I gotta say that this is the type of collection I'm striving for. Very nice man. I'm gonna start building some shelves...

@ Travis, be careful what you say, they don't all fit... Pole barn would be better :o
You don't see some, to big for shelves and the MT's need to be added.



i really dig the gray one next to the brownie.  Is the official color "Grey" or something else?

One of the best collections my friend! Keep it up.
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

@captjoe06 , Yes it is an official color. I believe they were limited release 90-92. Like the Crate & Barrels of today.

Gray kettle caught my eyes too among all those beautiful other kettles.   It looks like it was converted to a OTG. 

There was a Gray Master Touch for $20  on Cl forever in Chicago land couple of weeks ago. I wanted but no go.  Like to find out who got it.

Same here Travis. On CL grills I have yet to spend over $50. If I can't get it for that price then I'll cut myself off. We had our first ultrasound today. The second kiddo is coming in May.

@greenweb , Yes. I had a spare ash bucket set up from an MT, so I dress it up.
