I'm not sure there is any one of us here that only "collects" kettles, there are some that have some very rare Webers, but those are few and far between. As for myself, I own roughly around 30, ranging from 22" Blue, Red,2 Green,Yellow and 2 reds, I have 2 26", a red and a copper mist, 2 red SSP's and a Ranch Kettle. I'm not "searching out" anything in particular and none of them were bought as an "investment", I have cooked on almost all of them, and will continue to do so. There is another member here that just started hunting down logo'd grills. Some here have made some awesome scores lately... so I guess I'm just saying buy what you like, keep your lookers and fire up your cookers. NOW, mind you, I came to this forum with ONE Weber kettle when I searched for recipes online one day....and that was only a little over a year ago!!! Its contagious, tread lightly!...LOL
PS, AWESOME SCORE you got there!!!
