A couple of members inquired about the year and owners of the kettles featured in the 2017 WKC calendar. Thought I would start this thread and hopefully, other contributors will join in and post.
I submitted this photo to Matt
@SixZeroFour for consideration in the 2017 calendar. It was selected and is the July featured Weber kettle. Here is the story behind the photograph. An early October morning this year, I was admiring the bright blue skies and brilliant white clouds. I thought it would make for a beautiful background for photographing a kettle. I started out kneeling, taking pictures of the kettle with the sky and cloud background. Trees and other clutter kept spoiling the effect I wanted so I finally had to lay down and take the picture looking up towards the heavens. It is a unrestored 1971-1975. I titled the photo "Celestial Yachtsman". Not sure if the Yachtsman title fits the year but I liked the ring to the title. Apparently Weber liked it also. They selected the photo as "Griller of the Week", supposedly to be featured sometime this month on Weber's Facebook page.
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
