Is this kettle worth the pushback that I'm sure to get from the wife?

[Tim in PA]

It isn't in the nicest shape but I've never seen one this color for sale "locally". I'm in talks with the seller and it is still available. I'm just not sure this is the one I should try to talk my wife into letting me get. I'm considering compromising and telling her I'll sell my newer OTG to make room for this one. Thoughts?

Short answer: yes
If the wife is not cool with it then pass it along to someone else. Keetle karma will be on your side and the next one will be even sweeter.

I'm with AngelB. Grab that beauty. If your better half is adamant that it cant stay you will have no problem offloading it to a fellow member.

When I saw the price drop I was ready to go pick it up with the new lower price but I like the brownies so passed on it.  The original price was much too high but the new lower price really had me close to buying this one.

Tim I hope you make out with it.  You don't have many grills at all so it would be nice to have one old school Weber along with your new Weber.

Never think the price will go lower or worry if the wife will be pissed, just grab em. That's what the Chicago guys do all the time, even if we have no intention on keeping them. You can always trade or sell another kettle to make room for the "rare" ones.

Thanks guys, just sent a message to the wife. We'll see how she reacts! lol

Get it.

[dwnthehatch]

I would grab it for the price they are asking now. It's a haul for me especially since I only get 17mpg.

Get it.  Save it.

Lol. She said I can get it but I have to do diaper laundry for 2 weeks! LOL

I've been watching it since the day it was posted and debating if I should call on it.  Originally, the high asking price was my excuse.....then the price dropped.  Now, I'm just telling myself that it would never get used and I already have too many kettles and projects sitting around.  I hope it finds a good home.

Note......I'm pretty sure it has a bowl handle broken off.

One of the joys of being a Dad - sooner or later you'd do it anyway       
Plus now you get a kettle

I've been watching that too. I say grab it. It will clean up nice.

Hmm...really? I'm not sure I want it if it isn't complete...I'll ask them.

I'll take it if you don't want it...
