Hi friends,
today morning I was on the road again :-)
300km and 3.5h to get what I never expected to get in Germany.
A Brownie and unused for 30 years.
This E code was bought on a trade fair in late 1983 according to the guy who sold it. His father bought it once because he was fascinated of the indirect grilling and he decided to get it for is weekly roast.
Unfortunately (for him, not for the grill) his father died due to an accident a few years later and has not used the grill as much as he should. Since this time the grill was untouched in a corner of a garage for more then 30 years.
The price was very high but .... as I saw the first pics ... money? Who cares!
Something inside of me said "Get it!" "Go for it!" "Make it yours".
I did and here are some impressions:

You can still see the glue of the price tag on the lid vent - no joke !!

Haha... I am not sure I will ever cook on a bowl which looks like this after 35 years.
Hard decision, man, hard decision :-)

Congrats! If this would be mine it would stay a looker, never a cooker.

Wow amazing an amazing kettle and a amzing story!!!! Congrat's!!!
Gorgeous! What a find for you. Congrats on this GRATE score.
And like everyone else, love the legs. Enjoy it.
What we do to acquire these beauties.
Nice score. I find it interesting that this European E Code has the "Weber The one the only" handle on it. In the US, those handles only came on some of the C Code (1981) kettles and WSMs.
I swear, you are like the Harris of Europe.
Wow. Congrats. The grill has a really cooI stance. I hope to come across one one day

Congrats! Pristine condition. Forgotten about those beauty Euro legs. This gave me an idea for my next project.
Holy shit! What a find!! I am a leg man, and I LUV those legs! 8)
Beautiful! I would seriously not cook in that. That's just me. Instead, I would build a custom insulated tub that fit inside and serve cold beer out of it. German beer of course! The insulation should keep any condensation from forming on the inside to protect that amazing interior finish.
That way, you can show it off without ever creating any wear or harm in any way!
My favorite style/era of wood handle. Congratulations on the find! Love the Browns!
HOLY GRAILS: 1950s era Black or Custom finish 18.5 or 22.5 Kettle, Brown Go Anywhere grill.
That is beautiful!
