I think we should have a contest to see how many kettles 604 can get in his Grand Cherokee, winner gets what he has to leave on the curb! Lol

Haha, unless the winner is looking forward to the leftover charcoal ash I dump on the curb they will be thoroughly disappointed ;) There all coming home one way or another!

No super rare items to worry about just some interesting stuff... will get a photo up at some point tomorrow :D

the real problem is how will you fit the other 4 you find on seattle's craigslist in there on the way home? 
Oh I've pre-done my home work - 2 kettles and the smoker are all from Seattle CL ;)

i have zero doubts six.   ;D
I only use kettles with lid bales.

Disassemble and stack 'em.  You will have room to spare.  My personal best is 13 on a jaunt to Chicago.  As Troy mentioned, it was a noisy ride.

Booyah! No problem at all boys!! even squeezed in a couple bonus chimney starters and (2)! more sidekick tables!! (tradszies?!?) ;) ... probably coulda' squeezed another 18" in there but my wife wussied out and refused to ride on the roof... and to think of all the shit I do for her ;) ;D ;)

And, it seems she's rather cool ... and, a keeper.   :D :) :D 8)

Cheers Buckie,

I brought back a set of blue "DD" OTG's both 18 & 22, a set of older MBH brownies - pat# 22" and an "A" 18", A black wood handle 18", an 18.5" WSM, Black Perf lid and bowl, Black new style JJ,  2 sidekicks tables, a roti ring kit... you know the usual Saturday ;) Hope to get shots up in the next couple days.

Funny enough the border was a snap! Since we stayed down the night we didn't have to pay duty, I did however have to explain the Beverly Hillbilly recreation in the back seat and why a person would ever require so many grills ;)

Save the porcelain! pick up some moving blankets to help with the parts clanging around chipping those babies.

You know what, my friends came up with a pretty darn good way of packing them... pretty much every kettle you see has the lid nested upside down inside and then the rim was taped around the edge so that it couldn't move or clang around at all in transport. I put a 22 on the bottom, then a large piece of foam, then an 18 nested inside that!  I brought loads or cardboard and foam as well for the box'o'grates :) this was actually one of the quieter big haul runs in terms of rattle! Even the wifey noticed!

The blue 22 in the very back was nestled in snugly and the hatch kept it from moving.

The border had to be pretty funny.. Officer: "Excuse me sir, any illegal contraband?"  "No sir officer, just some old Weber grills"  Officer: "Well ain't you just some kind of freak!"..  8)
