Trying to create new conversations or threads..
Ask you all to share what you have given away to help other members, friends, family or just someone in the world!
Post a pick of what was given and/or include a story.
If it works for the group, grate! If not, it will be an empty thread! I know this group is giving and humble.
What have you encouraged someone with?
Anything from a cover to a corvette!
I'll kick it off with something simple....Yellow 70th Anniversary bottom bowl. Not necessarily philanthropy but given to others.

Not really much of a philanthropist.... .....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!..... 8)
I gifted this to a deserving collection and great friend. I try and help anyone who needs it when I can. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230810/ced9e8679619d822fab3f8f5caeeebaf.jpg)

I gifted a WW MLH kettle to a friend for his 60th birthday.
I gave a green 22" kettle to an island friend as a house warming gift.
He likes the color of money, so it was only appropriate to give him a green kettle.
I have been the recipient of others philanthropy.
Thanks

No pics..... all my kids have been given Webers of some form - multiple models. Have sent Weber kettles to distant family members that I've only met via social media and sent a 22" kettle to my niece and her husband last week that just moved from Boise Idaho to Leeds AL last week. Gotta spread the love! I have to say, the most fun to be had in this hobby is not to attain the perfect vintage grill, but rather to spread the grilling love and make some pretty great relationships with people of similar interests. I'm still working on my older brother who is a convenience guy.... At the family cookout with the '75 Aristocrat present he actually said he might need to consider charcoal cooking.... He's 15 years my senior and at 70 I think it's time for me to just send him a kettle and a bag of coals. Nature might take its course.

This is before I cleaned it up, replaced the sweeps, rehabbed the handles, etc., but we gave this green N code to our grandson. I think we also gave him a chimney.

I know how much the Chief means to him..Well done
@JEBIV.
Don't even know where to start with this.
Gave my first comp teammate an 18.5" WSM because all he had was a rusted out Bandera.
Gave a buddy's son a 22.5" daisy wheel kettle when he got married and started on his own.
Helped a guy at church cook on an ECB for his son's birthday. Gave him a WSM after that.
Gave each of my three boys a Smokey Jose.
Gave my dad a One Touch Platinum. He gave it to his grandson-in-law.
A very nice couple at church loved to grill but didn't have room to store one. Gave them an SJP.
All of these were Rescue and Restore cookers too.
The list goes on...
Grate stories @harbormaster !! Thanks for sharing!

I've lost track but have had a couple friends or neighbors I tried to convert to charcoal call and ask if I wanted the kettles back!
By now I know what they need. I recently cobbled together a Gen2 Performer and an old style Weber Rotisserie ring/accessories for a friend who finally retired an old Char-Broil Santa Fe. He's a Griller and the kids are on there own so he's really into it.
I get a kick out of him sending me cook pics!
