Confessions of a NOOB

[Filibuster]

   You sir are not a noob, that is a wonderful family photo shoot. I have refrained from any family shots because of my nosey row house neighbors.
   Looks like you have a thing for the 18's. All the 18's that hit CL are black so I'd show no interest, but two weeks ago a blue otg showed up and I lucked up on that one. It's a perfect match for my 22 blue otg, so for me my collection is slow going. As always its about enjoying what you've got.

Wow, what a collection!  You've got it bad, don't you?   LOL

One of my favorite members.  Great to have you here Charlie.

And for the record I'd say shipping counts in the overall cost of a kettle

Shipping, maybe.

But definitely not the gas/mileage of road trips.

Right, guys? Right?

I count shipping costs into mine. I don't add fuel, or the cost of my road warrior's (my daughters) Starbucks & snacks/lunch into the total cost.  I usually don't add my resto costs (donor kettles, Zavod handles/tabs, Weber part orders, etc.) into the total either, since I don't seem to ever trade/sell any of my kettle babies.

Pure Awesomeness!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.  It really has been a lot of fun so far. 

Regarding my decision to omit shipping costs in the average price of a kettle.  I asked myself; if I were to sell any kettle, would I include the cost of shipping in the price?  My answer would be no, and I may be in the minority here, but my rationale is just like I wouldn't include the cost of gas, lunch, coffee, etc into the cost of a kettle, I would not include the cost of the means by which I attained any kettle, including shipping and packing materials.  To include the cost of shipping and on the other hand not include the cost of gas seems arbitrary.  We're sorta dancing around the age old question of what's this kettle worth, so I'll stop there.

Congrats on 1000 Charlie. I'm glad I could help you in the growth of your family. Besides the great collection you've done some pretty cool mods. Thanks for sharing and next time I'm down in FLA I'd love to see them in person.             PEACE

Sweet collection!!! I'm trying to figure out that dark green in the cart with the screen and white kettle logo. What is that?

Ok can I say as a photographer that's a Gralab 200 timer from the 80's

I picked up on hat timer too! Brought back memories of all those hours in the darkroom developing film and making prints back in the '80's.
