According to the official WKC Glossary (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/wkc-glossary/) "Weberitis" is defined as-
An uncontrollable urge for acquiring and using Weber products, particularly vintage models & hard to find colorways. Possible symptoms include, going on the Sears or ereplacementparts.com site and pricing bowls and lid assemblies for 22.5 kettles and justifying to yourself "building your own" Weber since you have a couple spare leg kits laying around. Then the wife walks in the room and you immediately minimize the screen on the computer as if you were looking at pr0n. Delete all internet history containing WEBER-STEPHEN, ebay, Craigslist, ACE, MINWAX, and ereplacementparts.com.
The medical community has created a new set of guidelines for diagnosing Weberitis. Unfortunately there is no known treatment at this time. The WKC was founded in 2012 as a safe haven for Weberitis sufferers, colloquially referred to as "Grillfellas." There is nothing funny about Weberitis. If you laugh while reading these, you are a terrible person.
If you or someone you know may suffer from Weberitis and have symptoms you would like to add, please submit them for approval.

WEBERITIS SYMPTOMS aka GRILLFELLA PURITY TEST PART 1
1. OTS, OTG, MBH, SS etc. autocorrect on your iPhone.
2. You carry tools in your car in the event that a cheap performer pops up on CL and you need to fit it in your car.
3. You refer to your grills by their Weber name ie. Westerner or Yachtsman.
4. You name your grills.
5. You ask yourself "which grill am I gonna use today" more often than "am I gonna grill today?
6. You have WKC Members' contacts in your phone. And use their member name instead of real name.
7. You can tell the difference between an 18.5", 22.5" and 26.75" kettle from one view.
8. You've stopped your car in the middle of the road to ogle a kettle. Bonus points if you took a pic of it.
9. You have a kettle indoors. Bonus points if it's in pieces.
10. You're only on #10 and you've already laughed, blushed, or said "yup" multiple times.
11. You look down on plastic handles.
12. You justify owning a WSM because "it's actually a smoker, not a grill"
13. You paid more for the meat on the kettle than the actual kettle.
14. "Webering" is a verb you use to describe to your wife what you are doing on the computer or in the yard/garage.
15. You have trouble typing the difference between grill and girl, grate and great.
16. They don't make Webers like they used to.
17. You have a long email thread with other local WKC members for CL alert and dibs.
18. You reuse charcoal.
19. Your CL search is some permutation of Weber Webber bbq barbecue barbeque grill grille and "charcoal -car"
20. You live in SoCal and you find searching for Weber Performer on CL extremely frustrating.
21. Tri-tip is the magical cut that doesn't exist in the grocery store.
22. You bought your kid a SJ to teach them how to bbq but you turned it into a mini smoker instead.
23. You've waken up early to start smoking on your Weber and have had confused neighbors asking if there's a fire.
24. You leave your bike unlocked outside but the weber is chained to the deck.
25. You ask if grilling is allowed when searching for a new home or apartment.
26. Your friends ask for detailed bbq advice but end up using the gasser or an oven anyway.
27. You put the entire family into the car on memorial day weekend...... so that each of you can snag the 10 bag limit of charcoal from home depot.
28. You'll drive the extra 30 min to Walmart instead of Home Depot because the charcoal bags are on sale for $.23/lb instead of $.25/lb.
29. You have more grills that rooms in the house.
30. You ran out of space to store kettles in your house so you store some at your family's house down the road.
31. Your garage has a Grillmark 26" grates for that flat top 26"er you'll find down the road.
32. The presence of thumbscrews, "PAT. PENDING" on a kettle excites you.
33. You justify to your wife the differences in your 5 red kettles. Mist, OT, daisy wheels, thumbscrews, shade of red, decade etc. She actually doesn't
care, all she wants you to find is a yellow or baby blue kettle. For $50 or less. Included shipping.
34. You have all three size WSMs because one size does not fit all.
35. You have modified a kettle.
36. You take pictures of your kettle family and food. You have more pictures of yours and other people's Weber kettles saved to your computer than
you do photos of your children and family.
37. A kettle is your desktop or phone background
38. You grill in the snow, rain, or when the power goes out.
39. You rip on your friends for drinking fruity cocktails but your bbq sauce has strawberry, cherry, blueberry, or raspberry in it.
40. You claim to enjoy grilling in the sunset but in reality you fired up the kettle too late and it took too long to heat up while your family goes hungry. At least you got to take a pretty sunset picture and post it on the "Just a picture I liked thread"
41. You've considered vacationing in the U.K so you can bring a colored kettle back.
42. You demanded weber bring back a red kettle to the us but complained about "crimson"
43. You actually know that the founder of Weber did not have the last name Weber.
44. You claim to cook better food for cheaper than what you'll get at The Weber Grill Restaurant but you secretly want your wife to take you there.
45. You can do everything better on your kettle than on a Kamado/Big Green Egg but you've never owned the latter.
46. You wish that your local CL deals don't pop up on the TP but you also lurk other bbq forums' buy and sell forums.
47. You claim to like fall of the bone ribs but you actually don't know how to test for doneness so you say screw it I'll just overcook them a little.
48. Your bbq is still better than the bbq you get from that joint down the road.
49. You love your SS performer but you're too lazy to sort out the tank so you just use a chimney or lighter fluid.
50. You own a "looker"
51. We're at #51 and you STILL keep thinking of things to add to this list.

You try and convince yourself and others that you don't have it because you only have 40 of the fifty symptoms.
You doze off thinking about your next project.

Do you drive slowly down streets when in an unfamiliar neighborhood. aka Grillstalking.
when your wife wants you to clear all the grills from the back patio for a party, you declare an ultimatum - you won't go to the party if your grills can't attend
The employees at Home Depot recognize you and call you the Easy Off guy.
You know every Ace Hardware or Weber retailer within a 50 mile radius and no matter where you are, you stop and scour the BBQ isle in search of discontinued accessories.
You've cold called a kettle
You've trained your kids to bring home any weber kettles they see on curbs while out playing in the neighborhood.

You just spent an entire day on your vacation cleaning your garage to make room for at least 9 of your 12 kettles stored out back so you
A. Don't Look like a Freak to your neighbors.
B. Hide or confuse your spouse on what your exact "inventory" is.
C. Make room for your picnic tables and do a little spring cleaning for entertaining.
D. So your spares are nearby in the garage for quick access for tinkering or "repair" for no good reason
E. Only three Kettles out back ( 1-18, 1-22, 1-26 at any given time) appears more normal.
F. All of the above.
Oh and bonus points if you did all this and can still park both cars in your 2 car garage...

You might have Weberitis if:
- You have "bribed" the local junk guy to call you anytime he picks up an old Weber! He knows he can't get five dollars for the scrap value, and he knows you as the "Crazy-Grill-Guy" who always seems to have five dollars!!!!! (LOL!! And he is looking for a YELLOW WEBER because he knows you will pay TEN DOLLARS for one!!) 8)
- You have bought Webers from other WKC members and still have them in the shipping boxes, because the wife does NOT understand!!! 8)

You spend more on razor blades to clean your kettles than you spend on personal grooming.

Your phone auto-fills acronyms like 'WKC', 'OTG', 'CL', and 'JJ'.
Um.... You spend your first afternoon at the lakeside resort your vacationing at and you stay behind and clean the kettle they provide inside and out and reshape the lid and beat out the dents while your family goes to the pool.... And you enjoy this..... Oh and you bring along a spare handle to put on it since it was missing a handle and you bring a spare avocado Traveler to alternate between meals with the provided kettle.... Oh and your the only person cooking breakfast on the kettle and other guests are in awe that you can cook more than just burgers and steaks on them.... Pancakes? Who ever heard of pancakes or pasta on the grill?
Oh this is too funny! Great list guys!
I love the smell of a evening cook...
Whose ready for round 2?!?!?!
51. Lightningboldtz is a Kamado lover and you take every opportunity to call him out on it. You're secretly a Kamado lover too but one hasn't popped up on CL for "the right price."
52. It's only you and your wife at home but you still want or actually own a ranch kettle.
53. You don't know if beercan chicken actually makes a difference but you still cook it anyway because it looks awesome and impresses your friends.
54. You're afraid to cook brisket so you just stick to smoking pork butts.
55. You live in a dry climate but insist on paying 3x more for SS fasteners on your restoration.
56. You bought a weed burner despite the fact that the last weed you burned was in college.
57. You've used a seatbelt to secure kettle parts during transport.
58. You've bought a dirty kettle on CL and dumped the ash near the sellers front yard hoping they won't notice.
59. You're that creepy guy down the street with all the bbq's in the yard.
60. Your definition of charcoal shortage is more bags of charcoal than all your non-bbq friends go through in a year. Combined. You always regret not
buying more charcoal during the Memorial Day sale, even though your stack is taller and heavier (hopefully) than your wife.
61. You distinctly remember lighting your first ever charcoal chimney, and being dumbfounded at how well it worked. You love how the flames shoot out the top of a charcoal chimney at dusk. Once in a while you get mesmerized and forget to dump it.
62. You've tried to pass off new kettles as ones "you've had for a while" but get caught in the lie every time. Your wife keeps a secret tally of how many kettles you have and calls you out when your not expecting it. You look like an idiot when you haven't rehearsed your explanation.
63. You have parts and accessories that are only used for family picture day.
64. You have cleaning supplies that are dedicated to you kettles. Oven cleaner, 0000, mother's mag polish, etc. You've even waxed a kettle or at least thought about it.
65. You can define "Caddywhampus," "Puckerbutt," "Fatty," and "Boobie" and they don't embarrass you.
66. You email seller's on CL to correct them. ie. that's actually a 18.5" not a 22.5" or to let them know it's not a Weber
67. You complain about your kettle's wobbly legs but you've never moved your kettle in years.
68. You've contacted CL sellers selling happy cookers to ask if the the ash pan is inside.
69. There are greasy lid-ring marks on the carpet in your living room.
70. You've had a kettle in your bathtub.
71. Your kettle top vent and legs are shinier than your wedding ring.
72. You have kettles in your garage that you need a ladder to reach.
73. You secretly like black kettles.
74. You cover your kettles but leave your car exposed to the elements. You dread the thoughts of natural disasters like hail, tornado, and hurricanes while
your kettles are outside.
75. You've used the hood or trunk of a car as a bbq side table.
76. You tell people how easy it is to start a charcoal fire with a chimney and they have no idea what you are talking about.
77. You read old Weber catalogs from the 60s and 70's "just for fun"
78. You bite your tongue when a CL kettle seller explains to you how the one touch and vents work so that you don't tank the deal.
79. Contacting a seller about a grail or NIB kettle makes you feel like you did when you asked a girl out for the first time.
80. You have a poster of kettle vents. Yes, kettle vents.
81. You've cooked food directly on charcoal without a grate.
82. What a maroon. 'Nuff said.
83. You have more WKC pm's than emails in your inbox
84. You get into friendly debates as to whether or not a kettle is chestnut coppertone or copper mist, grass green/uline green/avocado/ or sage, and grey or faded black. You've even used color enhancing software on your computer to prove your point.
85. First thing you look at on any MBH kettle that pops up on CL is how big the lid vent and bowl vent turn tabs are.
86. You don't like the dish ash catchers and wish they just stayed with the "J" cutout with the unrolled edge.
87. You have leftover lighter fluid in your garage even though you swear never to use it.
88. "How many grills do you have?" becomes a complicated question involving several minutes of thought.
89. You get funny looks from people when you tell them you've baked, fried, steamed or made desserts on a kettle.
90. "But it was free" - "I don't care, we don't need it" is a familiar conversation
91. Your friends joke around that all you post on Facebook is stuff that's grilling related. They find it annoying but they love your bbq anyway
92. You plan a "period '50s,'60s,'70s, or '80s cookout" complete with full dress and period correct tools and grates.
93. You've driven to every Ace hardware in a 20 mile radius just to see what Weber products they have that the others do not. Bonus points if you check each stores fastener aisle for hubcaps.
94. You cringe anytime you see someone cooking hamburgers press down on them with a spatula.
95. You check out the BBQ sauce aisle at the grocery store every time but we all know the good stuff is ordered online or made at home.
96. You refer to MTH kettles as "Wood Dale's"
97. You hoard old parts like, flat ashpans, metal wheels, non flip grates, and 7409's. Don't lie, you know what a 7409 is.
98. You have a 400 mile search radius for grills in your Craigslist, and have agents ready to go at a moment's notice.
99. Every mark on your kettle has a story. For example "This crazing was here when I got it but I made the seller knock off a few bucks for it." You check your lid for dents and scratches before you check your arm that you your burnt, which caused you to drop said lid in the first place.
100. You can tell at least what decade a kettle is from just from a glance.
51. Lightningboldtz is a Kamado lover and you take every opportunity to call him out on it. You're secretly a Kamado lover too but one hasn't popped up on CL for "the right price."
Ummmm......Guilty..... I was into Kamado restorations before I found out that Weber had stopped making Redheads!

Yes
Figures
When you justify having 20 or more cookers by calling it doomsday prepping
Your kids automatically take a left when they walk into the Home Depot, because you always walk down the grill/charcoal aisle first, although you never buy anything from it.
You get a little anxious every day that you don't use a grill to cook.
The question is not 'what will I make for dinner?', but 'which grill should I start first?'.
You always respond to the kind offer of CL sellers with, "No thanks, I can get it in the car myself."
You always respond to the follow-up question with, "Yes, I'm sure that it will fit."
"You always respond to the kind offer of CL sellers with, "No thanks, I can get it in the car myself." "
this one wins the prize, yep!!!!!
""Yes, I'm sure that it will fit.""
....or "I got it !!!"
Your friends aren't surprised when you say things like, "I would love to give you a ride, but first I need to find a place to stash 6 bags of charcoal."
You don't buy the smoked turkey leg from the guy at the county fair, but you are seriously tempted to ask him if you can buy a bag of his lump charcoal because you have never seen that before.
You have a Vasconia tomale pot that doubles as a boneyard/urn for vents & handles all kinds, wooden, Zavod AND pre '81 metal bowl handles.

Your post has reminded me of another possible weberitis symptom:
What if you dream of one day being able to take a trip to the UK, not to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey or one of the other hundreds of historical landmarks no you dream of one day going to the Riverside Barbecue Centre because from the you tube videos it looks like a Weber paradise with kettles in every color and accessories you can only dream about in the US

When you know what part# 7409 is. OMG, I guess I have it very bad
You spend all day (today) cleaning the garage. Wife insists she is going to help, Grillfella's be like..... no thanks, I got it covered. She takes one look and says, I'm doing the basement.. This ties in to when you have enough sets of spare wheels stacked neatly by vintage awaiting that special kettle to arrive someday..
I've been enjoying this thread ! I'm embarrassed that I keep nodding my head along! ........when I read #7409 I said to myself, oh gosh I think I know what that is!
when you call random ace and true value hardware stores asking them to go check the shelves for a 7409 and to ignore any 7444's.
then telling them that no matter what they think, they can't order you a 7409 from weber.
I spent the afternoon cleaning two Craigslist kettles. :D
Then I disassembled them and stowed them in my attic before my wife got home! :o
You search CL for Weber but also Webber.

And grill, charcoal, bbq, barbecue, barbeque, and kettle!
Your wife or girlfriend knows when you walk up behind her because of you always smell like a campfire / your scent is not cologne but "grill"

When you open up the Trading Post section and the advertisement link is for an addiction recovery service.

...you have sprinkled rib rub on your popcorn
And liked it.
just happened tonight....
....wife comes home w/a boneless pork butt and says.."you can cook this roast tomorrow(my mom comes over every sunday and I usually do a nice dinner for us), right?"
...answer-"yes. yes I can"
Willing Kettles to preselected individuals because you can't abide them winding up with any old fool off of craigslist...or worse...the dump.
When you try to haggle down a CL seller by saying "Hmmmm...its kind of an old grill for the price isn't it?....and the new ones have tough plastic handles which last for years instead of these old wooden ones."
You look at CL so often you have the first 20 or so listings memorized that have the word "weber" in them.

This is a very fun read.
You think of Haikus pertaining to the kettle or BBQ.
You have passionate debates with coworkers about smoking and technique which usually leads to a smoke off challenge.

you buy rotating led christmas light in red so you can see your kettle light up in the living room and another for outside so your kettle always looks lit .

Smoke got to my brain.
No worries brother.
Kettle smoke is good for all.
Don't burn the chicken.
