So. Here goes post #1K

I was at work. I was working and my phone was on top of the machine i was repairing. Normally I would have been at lunch by this time but I wanted to get finished working on the section of the machine that I was on before changing out of my dirty clothes to go to lunch. My wife sends me a message but because of the other printing presses in the room are running I do not hear it. I thought that maybe I heard it but my hands were filthy and I did not want to touch my phone. I figured I would see it at lunch.
So 25 minutes later at lunch I look at it.

Holy shit!

My wife sends me a meat kettle and I wait to read the message. Smh!

I tell her that we want that.

So she sends the seller a message telling the seller we are interested.

Interested.... What? The understatement of the year.

So the seller gets back to her and tells her that she was the first person to contact her and that she could have it. My wife explained that she had to wait for my other daughter to get home from school and she would not be able to come for an hour and half. Needless to say I have a lunch in front of me that I can't eat. Staring at my phone waiting to hear back from my wife. I wanted to leave work early but I would have only been there a half an hour sooner. So I decided to let it take it's course.

I get a text as I am walking out the door at work.

"Got it. It's filthy but I got it. ☺"

That was the longest ride home from work ever. I pull into the driveway and along side the garage is this

Wow ! What a awesome kettle.

WOW .... that is amazing.  Congrats. 

See that's the thing.. These are very rare, but driving around the suburbs where @Kneab and I live (thus close proximity to Weber) these do pop up, never making it far from where they were made.  (the legendary Erich Schlosser once lived in Lake in The Hills as well)

But it's not uncommon for me to be driving around the neighborhood and see a yellow one full of flowers, a red one behind some old items in the yard, etc.  Being so close to Weber, it "was never a big deal to have one" and very common yet people don't let go of them either.

Fortunately many are hanging on to and restoring these old gems and when you come across a Meat Cut, holy cats.. that's fantastic.

Congratulations.

Yes! Congrats, Karl! Very excited for you.... and looking forward to seeing it at Meat-Up #6 next year!

Thank you everyone for all the kind words.
She is the best.👍
And the grill is pretty nice too.

Thanks for posting about Erich Schlosser. Found this about him.

http://www.bbqdryrubs.com/the-genius-of-erich-schlosser/

Erich was a cool guy.  His wife Edna ran the test kitchen and I'd have to cut up the onions if Erich wasn't around -they'd make her eyes water too much.  We were all pretty close up until Weber and I parted ways and I think the Weber cone of silence came down on them and they never spoke to me again.  Quite bizarre but I guess it makes their world go around.

I should dig out a few of the pics I have from when I was at Memphis in May with those characters.

Such a awesome grill!!! Congrats on getting it. Pics are killer

@Kneab - Can we clone your wife? I'd sign up now for a version if this were possible.

Congratulations Karl to you and your wife!!! That is the score of a lifetime.

Dude how crazy is it to think that you might have the nicest meat kettle in existence!!!

The guys working there hardly even looked at it. I was there 30 minutes before opening. They were busy stocking the cabinets. After the pictures we put it back in the van and waited for the store to open. I had hoped to meet the owner. But I never saw him.

I think it was made  69-71
It shows up in the 1971 catalog.
Most call it the Meat cut.

I suspect that it could be that they were working.... at work.

Kneab,
That is a super cool find.  I love that thing.  If you don't mind my asking, what burb was it in when your wife found it? 

Gosh this is probably my favorite grill ever.

We take a first day of school picture every year that is my background at work. The kids suggested I use it on the desktop at home instead of work since they are there in person anyway. 😉

LOL I just revisited the thread again. The Meat Cut Grill is by far my favorite. Sometimes I get confused when I read other members enthusiastically say, "I need a Glen Blue" or "A red ranger is my holiest of grails" but then I remember the Meat Cut, and how I adore it, and it graces me with some empathy towards the other members who desire say.... a Chief.

Also, I cant wait for May as the Meat Cut grill is the WKC's picture for May  ;D

I really like that grill too.  I also got a kick out of the photos of it's field trip to the meat market.

I did a little work to it over the winter months. It needed a work table and some better wheels

MEAT PERFORMER FTW!
