Weber Kettle Club Forums

Thanks to the amazing camaraderie here at the WKC, my Weber collection looks A LOT different at the end of the year than it did at the beginning of the year. 

Although I dedicated much of the year to thinning out the herd, there were some notable acquisitions in 2018 including a Statesman, a Snap On CGA, an Aristocrat, a Mediterranean, an Orleans, a Ranger, a speckled SJ and a Seville; along with some really fun vintage accessories like the griddle, wok, an elevated half grate, 18" & 22" shish kebab sets, 18" & 22" roti's, a red Chill and a Fireplace.  Thanks to all the WKC'ers who've helped with all my acquisitions and just as much appreciation goes out to those who provided good homes to my former kettles! 

From a cooking perspective, I've developed the confidence to try a lot more whole briskets in my Fleetwood, and experimenting more with the hanging technique in the WSM.  I really appreciate all the inspiration from the cooks I see here, so please keep them coming.

How did your 2018 kettle year go?

Beautiful collection. I only acquired one kettle on a cold call. Face book marketplace has killed the finds on the other sites and I'm not on Facebook.

This has been fun and interesting year for me. Picked up few interesting kettles and completed some custom kettles the way I wanted. I have been exclusively using my newly customized Platinum, Performer Silver, and Gen2 Performer lately. All my Canadian Master Touch are tweaked and customized the way I want now and ready to be used.

I do own some interesting vintage kettles and love the look and cooking on them, but I noticed I prefer to use more modern ash sweep bucket and with table kettles for convenience and fire safety.  Mind you, one of the main reason I am here and love to see from you all..... great rare scores for cheap that come up time to time. I think it was a great year for that. Looking forward to seeing- unearthing of more treasures in 2019.

Happy New Years to all! Couple of hrs to go before 2019.

In 2017, I had a 22 otg, performer, and an A code weathered warrior.

In 2018, I caught weberitis!  I love this hobby and the fellowship of our club.

Great posts!  2018 I sold the handful of plain black Weber kettles and a WSM I had and moved half way across the country.  In mid-June I stumbled into these Weber groups and my wife and I started collecting.  Unfortunately 90% of our finds are now in storage, but I estimate we have over 60 of them now.  Hoping to display them and get lots of pictures around the middle of this year.  Here's a small sampling, I have lots of newer kettles but the older stuff is what we are really after now.  Happy New Years!

Thats part of it...several projects never made it to the internet.

I had lots of fun rescuing black kettles.... Mostly 18s, but also some 22s including a sweet WW.

Had a very good year chasing kettles.  A few were passed onto fellow members but one acquisition was very special.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2018/10/12/02sm---DSC05996.jpg)

Been a good year for me kettle wise but I also ventured into the world of "push button" Pitmastering and got a Pellet Grill in February.  The brand(Grilla Grills) that I purchased the company is out of my home state, I actually traveled with my family and met the head engineer and designer.  There is a pic of me Representing WKC at Grilla Grills HQ with Marc Graham.  There is no other pellet grill like the one that I have on the market.  Oh and for those of you curious, yes it can smoke with the best of them.

I scored a really nice Red Thumbscrew that I did not understand how vividly Red it was until I took it to the Chicago meetup in Aug.

The pic of the two limes is a pic of probably the nicest two Limes out there, I think @Rub may have a nicer one but these two together was really cool, the one on the left is mine the one on the left is overseas in Austria.

One of my goals for 2018 was to get a blue, well I got two, a 2004 OTG and an A lid, B bowl MBH

I secured an Ivory and now have a Smoke and Red LE as it's partners.

This one caused a couple of people in the club to pop a few blood vessels but I took an almost new Target Copper and converted it to a Master-touch.

Finally, I scored a really nice Lime(different from above) that also made it's way to another country, though not so far, in Canada.

I usually set for myself a kettle goal as I go into 2019 I think I would like to secure some older grills, ones with wood dale on the lid vent would be preferred.

Had a lot of nice finds this year with the help of members pointing some stuff out.

I just have my 1990 basic black 22 that I rescued in 2016. I've played around with different lengths of legs. Otherwise it has been serving just fine.

I grew up with a 22 so this is like something from my childhood, right here on my patio and ready to go. I love it.

Well, I have a Brave on the way that was agented the middle of last year and should hopefully arrive this week. I was an agent for several grills and a few accessories this year. I think I picked up at least 6 or 7 grills.. including 3 in the last week or so (I'll have to look back at my pics to get the exact count). I had one or two roadside rescues (still trying to find a home for one).

I tried a few new things on the grill. Not sure what 2019 will bring, looking forward to it.

Edit: I was curious as to the actual count of stuff I agented / was an intermediate for / rescued in 2018 -
Agent for performer - Feb 4 2018
Agent for rotisserie - May 20 2018
Agent for black ssp - June 3 2018
Curbside save - OTS - June 18 2018
Agent for flat top 26er - Dec 24 2018
Intermediate for Green MT - Dec 26 2018
Intermediate for Cado - Dec 26 2018

2018 was full of grill adventures.

My goal at the beginning of the year was to agent, so I did:
In February, I was able to pick up a NIB fire pit and pass it off to @CatskillSmoker as part of a multi-state, multi-member swap (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/my-best-single-weber-day-loooong-story-pic-heavy/msg358491/#msg358491)

Later on, I agented an Outrider for @firedude5015

I snagged a Blue MT in NJ on a Friday afternoon and passed it off to @CatskillSmoker in NY the next morning (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/northeast-wkc-teamwork-(-long-story-pic-heavy)/msg384562/#msg384562): 

Along the way, I developed the idea of the A.W.O.P. — Agent Without Principal.  (As opposed to Agent without PrincipLE).  Under this theory, I'd pick up grills of interest and pass them through to interested members at cost.  Oddly enough, this only involved beer logo grills (copper Sam Adams, blue Sam Adams and black Guinness).

Rescuing:
I picked up my first curbside rescue (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/member-sales-trades/free-18-5-wsm-center-section-(nj)/msg390118/#msg390118): an 18 OTS that I passed off to another member for free along with an 18.5 WSM center section.

Restoring:
Had the privilege of going to work on a couple of acquisitions that had been neglected: '62 Glen Blue (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/glen-blue-find/msg370202/#msg370202) and a '77 Yellow (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/yellow-rehab-pics/).

Did some modifications:

Made a tuck-n-carry midget (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/my-18-5-midgettravelertuckncarry/msg370226/#msg370226) for use on the dock at my cabin.

Customized a non-assist SSP.  First with a Sage (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/sage-one-touch-platinum-transplanted-into-non-gas-assist-ssp/msg389285/#msg389285).  Then with an LE (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/like-to-make-a-redhead-performer/msg397865/#msg397865).

Added Master Touch elements to an 18.5 Plum (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/grimace-jr-plum-18-5-master-touch/msg404711/#msg404711).

Made a mini chimney (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/mini-chimney-40166/msg399504/#msg399504) for firing up small amounts of briqs for low and slow cooks.

De-taco'ed a Blue Wave SJG (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/mini-chimney-40166/msg399504/#msg399504%3Cbr%20/%3EAdded%20Handles%20and%20clamps%20to%20a%20WSM:%20http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-grill-modifications-customs/18-5-wsm-on-22-5-otp-cart/msg389286/#msg389286).

Oh, and also found some time to actually cook on these beauties —from the 1962 Glen Blue to the 2017 LE.

Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to another year of adventure with this brotherhood of shared insanity.

2018 for me truly was the year of the Mighty Eighteens. This year I acquired (in no particular order) a Jumbo Joe, a Sam Adams Copper 18, a Plum 18, a Blue Wave 18, a MBH red 18 (birth year!!), a MBH Blue 18, a Brave, a Yachtsman, and the pièce de résistance... an excellent condition early '56 Weber Bros Metalworks 18.  Also finally got my red 26 into cookable condition, snagged a big wheel Seville, was gifted a cutting board/table for my 18 Woodard, acquired an Ivory 22, picked up a couple of new Euro SJs  (Smoke and Wedgewood Blue), and got my hands on a rare red AG grill . Definitely a good year for kettle hunting!

My collection was only +1 for the year, but I had some good purchases/sales throughout the year.  I picked up an SJP, Green SJG, Red Offset SJ, and Red F-code 22.  Sold off a Red H-Code 22, Green L-Code 22, and copper SJG.

I am used to grilling or barbequing at least two or three times each week. In 2018 I was lucky if I got to cook outside more than twice in a month! My employer has had some staffing issues and the overtime has been plentiful, so the lack of free time was well compensated.  ;)
I did have the opportunity to help some wayward kettles find new homes. I was able to agent two different yellow kettles within a couple of weeks of each other. A friend of mine loves redheads, and I brought him a red SSP and a red 18. I sent my Outrider to Australia, via Florida. I even had a beautiful chestnut-coppertone wander through my garage on its way to the Northeast.

I did acquire a few kettles for myself in 2018. I couldn't pass up a near-perfect Jumbo Joe for $10. I like it so much that letting my Outrider go wasn't hard at all.

I spent years looking for a black Master-Touch. FB Marketplace finally came through and I found two of them, EZ and EE codes. I haven't restored them, I just cleaned them and put them in the rotation.

Finally, I bought a sweet NG Silver"B" and never have to worry about running out of propane again.

Dang that green rig is handsome.

A few scores for 2018 for me. The $20 red GA on Facebook marketplace in the states was a crazy score for me to bring home to Australia and thanks to the agents that assisted me in 2018.

I bought my first Weber in August 2018, then bought another and another and another. I think by New Year's Eve I had 11. I've picked up three more since the 1st.

Sad thing is out of 14 grills I've only cooked on three of them BUT I've bought another house and this place has the perfect backyard for grilling so I'll be doing more cooks on most or all my grills this year.

Heres a few pics of the 11, the last pic was the dudes CL pic.

I've used the red LE, the JJP and the Q1200, the others are waiting to be fired up.

2018 was pretty crazy for me. The list of members who helped or I have help is very long. I must have helped over a dozen members with grills and got to make a lot of great relationships with members all over the US. I gifted @Shoestringshop a Bears SJ and @jcnaz  a thumbscrew 49er and Texan for his generosity of GIVING me a Boobie. That will be a different post. I helped 2 members complete the SA 18 collection and another start theirs. The list just goes on and if I forgot you, please accept my apologies. I don't know how many now live in the barn but it's a LOT. I got to complete a bunch of my SSP,22,18, and SJ collections which is what I originally started to collect. I have all SSP colors collected with all available others now except for the elusive Brownie. My SJ collection went from 6 to 15. And my MBH collection I'm guessing tripled in size. I feel very fortunate to have gotten some beautiful grills. Hope I'm not to picture heavy. Thanks Fellas for all the help and encouragement.

2018 was pretty crazy for me. The list of members who helped or I have help is very long. I must have helped over a dozen members with grills and got to make a lot of great relationships with members all over the US. I gifted @Shoestringshop a Bears SJ and @jcnaz  a thumbscrew 49er and Texan for his generosity of GIVING me a Boobie. That will be a different post. I helped 2 members complete the SA 18 collection and another start theirs. The list just goes on and if I forgot you, please accept my apologies. I don't know how many now live in the barn but it's a LOT. I got to complete a bunch of my SSP,22,18, and SJ collections which is what I originally started to collect. I have all SSP colors collected with all available others now except for the elusive Brownie. My SJ collection went from 6 to 15. And my MBH collection I'm guessing tripled in size. I feel very fortunate to have gotten some beautiful grills. Hope I'm not to picture heavy. Thanks Fellas for all the help and encouragement.

Awesome year, Colin! No such thing as "too picture heavy" around here!
