I found WKC almost 7.5 years ago! At that time I had a Black H code 22 " kettle and a Black Gen2 Performer. My dad had a Red Pat Pending that he got when I was in 6 th grade.
Fast forward to today. Thanks to WKC I have 4 kettles. A copper performer that I integrated into my own custom cart is my daily cooker. The glen blue 26 (thanks WKC for inspiring this retro color) gets pulled out for parties and big cooks. Did 2 racks of pork ribs for the fourth on it. My Dad has passed and the red kettle is in my stable.
I still have the performer and plan to give it to one of my kids when he has a place that allows charcoal. The H code went to my other son a couple years ago.
