This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

I might take some heat for saying this....but am I wrong to think that Weber needs to drop the gimmicks and get back to their roots of building solid kettles with welds and wood handles. I honestly would NEVER buy a new kettle off of the shelf today and think that the average consumer that does isn't really getting what he/she thinks they are getting. Rant over
SMOKE THIS!!

What does that have to do with this WSM? This thing is painted/vinyl decal covered. It didn't come from Weber that way.

I think what Cochise is saying is that the Minions tie-in represents gimmickry and so does bolted-on handles and I well, plastic handles. I agree those have been topics better discussed elsewhere.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Lol! Looks like a decent job. Very glossy. I would prefer an R2D2 but whatever...

How would you get the coals started?

The weld on one side of my lid handle gave out on my last night cooking up some shrimp and scallops....wasn't a hot cook.  My previous cook was super hot so that might have been the culprit.  It could have also been rust related as there is some rust around the lid handle.  I have a feeling with some of these new aftermarket accessories that can get kettles so hot, they decided to go with bolts so that they aren't constantly replacing lids where high temp cooks have caused the handle welds to fail.

How do I know its not from the factory? The photo was taken at the end cap of a Home Depot BBQ aisle.....what was I supposed to think???
Also, I would say that seeing a Disney cartoon character WSM is the perfect reason to call Weber out on selling out.

Please swap NBC for Disney.... sorry I mixed up my elite corporate pricks.
