Howdy folks. Long time die-hard charcoal/Weber guy here.
My grill (10 year-old "original kettle 22") was ripped off from my driveway the night before Independance Day. I have video of the incident on YouTube, but I don't see that I can embed the video here. But that's not what I'm here about anyway.
Late last night I finished setting up my new grill (Master Touch 22") and then started watching YT videos about cleaning methods and possible mods (building it into a table/cart) and that led me to you folks here. Hoping to take my knowledge/skills up a notch.
Welcome from the UK and hopefully whoever nabbed your grill burns in the coals
Welcome from Omaha, NE. That's total BS, I hate a thieve!!! At least you got a new master touch out of the deal and ended up here. This is a great place

Hello and welcome to the WKC from Eugene, Oregon. Maybe look at it this way, everyone seems to just know that a Weber Kettle is worth the time in jail when they get caught !!!

Welcome to WKC. That sucks about your stolen Weber. Grill on, brother. Better days ahead.
FWIW, I *think* that if you just paste the YouTube URL into the body of a post, the forum will automatically render it as a clickable link, if not video that plays in the page.
Welcome to the Wkc.
Sorry to hear about your grill being stolen.
What is the title of the video?

You came to the right place.
Welcome.
Welcome from Wisconsin. Thievery sucks. Some young people tried to take my SJ from behind the house, but some neighbors saw them, chased them down, and got it back. Everything lives inside now.

Yeah dood had a ride. Three minutes before this a small 4-cyl car (looks like a Corolla) came slowly down the alley, clearly looking for targets. Plates not visible.
The cops have both videos, but I honestly expect nothing to come from it. North Minneapolis cops have plenty of bigger issues to deal with than my grill getting ripped off.
That really sucks but the MasterTouch is a beautiful grill i have done almost everything on it;)

@Darko The grill is the bait. Just screw the Alleygator to the handle and wait til for a scream in the night or follow the trail in the morning.
Dang!
That sucks! I don't have any particularly nice kettles, but I'd be plenty pissed if someone snatched one of my Webers! I only keep my 18" in the back yard because it gets the most use, but luckily it's not very visible from the street. I do need to get a security camera, though, as I've had some weirdos walk through my fenced yard like nothing.
