Lol! I've moved a few of them too. If I can get them for 50ish I have a hard time saying no. I think if I had to choose one cooker it would be an 18" wsm.

Nice collection, @Walchit. What's the code on your 1880? Maybe you can pull a vent off of that! lol

@Walchit what is your refinish process?  I've got a few that might be salvageable and this looks phenomenal.

Weberitis is real! I actually cleaned up the newer one and gave it to my buddy after he spent a day in my crawlspace fixing broken sewer pipes, he also got an 18" kettle and almost 300 worth of meat,charcoal, and wood.



I I hooked him up with a little refinished wood handle





So I ended up tossing a stainless nut and bolt where one was missing on the c code, and tossed it up on the shelf...

Very light sanding, brown fine point sharpie(like really fine let me see if I can get a link) then I just used mineral oil. I've done some other handles and regretted the more permanent types of finish I used like stain, poly, shou sugi ban. Idk how often you would need to re-apply mineral oil, this was my first try
