It was around 2006 that I had been boning up on WSM techniques and I was all over CL looking for bullets and kettles for UDS's when I spied a 22" Homer for $20. It had been posted for at least a week before I inquired on the TVWBB site about the rarity of said kettle? The response was off the charts, then someone mentioned that RED's had been discontinued and thats when I jumped on the RRR bandwagon.
Here is a post from 2008 on kettle restorations, but I started half assed collecting shortly after 2006. Red UDS's started shortly after.

I wish I would have been taught about real Q on a kettle a long time ago. We had a gasser that was nearly dead so googling led me to the WKC forums. My fear was the time spent getting charcoal ready and learning how to actually cook on a grill. Started with an AH crimson performer and then it began. Searched CL for more reds and eventually landed a red SSP, red MT and a couple of other kettles. I wouldn't grill any other way now.

Not much of a story here. I had been grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and pork steaks since my early twenties on a economy black that I had bought new for my dad's house. Once I had kids and stopped running the town I started cooking more things and found I really enjoyed cooking on Webers. Found this site this year actually looking more for recipes,the name caught my attention, and then "webertitis" set in once I realized what this site is really all about. Or at least what it's about for me. Less than a year I'm up I think about 10 or 11 kettles with another looming 
and love it. I've really only got cookers for now, but I'd like to start collecting some lookers. This is a great forum with great members. Happy to be apart of it.

I done my first repair in 02, one leg rusted through and damn near wrecked a rib roast.
Never was a collector but did have a great time picking up kettles for a few years before they got popular.

I started when my OT Silver had seen better days and was researching what I wanted to replace it with. I couldn't afford a new Performer, so kept on using what I had. I found the WKC, while Googling around looking for any info I could, regarding Weber grills. I did some reading and got out the razor blades and steel wool, so it began for me...that was almost three years ago. I have revived quite a few kettles since then, but have narrowed it down to ones I will actually use. I still have the bones of my first CL acquired Weber... a Gen 2 Performer...it sure has changed quite a bit over the last couple years ;D
As of right now, for me, cooking with these awesome backyard icons is what I look forward to most every day. I still look every day for that rare kettle though!
