Title: Weber Fireplace Kettle
Post by: harris92 on July 15, 2017, 05:17:06 PM
Recently picked up this ultra rare Weber Fireplace Kettle. Probably from approx 1964 and in great shape. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170716/5dbb00b40c7de565348edfab0196237d.jpg)

That is amazing! Love seeing more pictures of this. It is a very unique part of weber history. Probably more so then the meat cut grill.

Now that's a unique product.
Any idea on how many they produced?

Take the collection on the road man! You have enough to fill a tractor-trailer.

I'd drive to NY or Boston to gawk.

That's a really nice kettle. Everything I seen of yours is over the top. I agree with taking it on the road! I'd pay to see it.

@harris92

Seems those square tabbed early 1964 Arlington Heights lid vents were stamped crooked in relation to the vent tab. Cool stuff!

You are the Yoda of kettle collecting. At what time is it not a score and just par for the course with you? Amazed once again

God bless you @harris92

I'm sure we'd all like to hear the acquisition story.

I've been of the impression one of these surfaced a few years back. Is this the same one or another example?

That's awesome Harris. Thanks for sharing the detailed pics. The interior vent cover on the bowl and the support tabs are really interesting...

I had a chance  for one last year, but it was rougher.  I let it go. I may have made a mistake.
