So I have a few kettles (4)
But I found a guy on wallapop ( iPhone app) that was selling a
Wsm for $50 he didn't say what size
But for $50 I figured what the hell
Do I made the deal and when I got there
It was a 22.5 !! I put it in my car and shook hand
And he said my dad has one that he doesn't use
Would you be interested? So now I have two
For $100 . My wife said no more! But how can
I tell her about the copper SJ I ordered fro uline
On Friday... I got it bad!!!
I can't stop lovin my Weber!!!

I would be up front with her... explain to her that on your way hone from work you found one And you can't believe that someone would toss out a brand new grill! But you being the kind of guy you are you saved it from the trash. Explain thou she (at this point sees you as some sort of superhearo) there will be no need for her to make dinner as you have this covered. Another words LIE Dammit!
Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

Sell one wsm for $200. Cook her good food. She won't have anything to complain about

Anytime you can say it was free, that's definitely the way to go.  Hard to complain if it didn't cost anything besides a little bit of time to find or pick up.  If that doesn't work, be honest and tell her how much you enjoy all of this.  There are more harmful and more expensive hobbies someone could have.

Although, I'd sell one for $100, break even, and spread the love of the amazing WSM with someone else.

If you are looking for understanding or sympathy you are looking in the wrong place!  :o   ;D ;D

Congrats on the double header, as others have pointed out sell one for $100 and call it good and no need to lie.
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work
This is my Kettle there are many like it but this one is mine......

Keep them both and tell her to deal with it. Like Santo said...there are worse things you could be doing with your time and money. Try to get her involved. Ask her to suggest recipes you can try together, you man the webers and she does the side dishes and shit like that.
SMOKE THIS!!

While this might end you up in the doghouse, you could say that shoes, purses, or (insert wife's hobbies/guilty pleasures here) is more expensive than BBQ collecting. Just kidding.... DO NOT SAY THAT!

But I bet she'd give you a break if you sold one of the WSMs and got her a purse, shoes, or (insert wife's hobbies/guilty pleasures here). Now that's how you get a lady on your side 8)

Works like a charm. My girl thought I was going crazy at first. Now she's all about it.
Still need a 22" yellow

Wanted plum/burgundy 18.5
WTB Color Copies of old Weber Catalogs

Tell her this:
"You know what Dear, I think you're right, this kettle collecting is bullshit, with all this extra time and money, I thinking I'm gonna get into hardcore subscription internet porn!"

Wait a minute then say:
"I don't know though, I'm still on the fence, which one do you think I should go with?"

It'll be like kettle collecting is her idea

this is the answer.

make some profits so she never questions you again.

ask her how many pairs of shoes she's flipped for $150 profit. 

I only use kettles with lid bales.
