I get by with a little help from my friends

[wessonjb]

I received a mystery package last night with a couple rubs I’ve never tried.  I knew I hadn’t ordered anything, so I immediately started racking my brain trying to figure out who sent this.  It took awhile, but I finally figured out Mike In Roseville sent these to me for a little inspiration.  Mike has been extremely encouraging, he knew I was in a slump after tasting Rub’s amazing BBQ at the last Florida meetup. 

Thank you, Mike... I’m slowly getting my mojo working again and these will definitely be incorporated into my Super Bowl cook this weekend. 

Great group of Grillfellas here.

Big thank you to JEBIV who knew my wife was looking for another set of Weber steak knives to make a full set of 8.  He sent us a surprise package and inside was this nice note stating his demands.  I had to comply!

Thank you very much, Joe!

Although it’s been awhile since I’ve updated this post, that doesn’t mean I’m any less appreciative of, or inspired by, all the good deeds going on behind the scenes. 

A few months ago, I started searching for a vintage rotisserie to complete my loweRED SSP build.  Lowbrass kindly offered to trade his vintage roti setup and we struck a deal.  The logistics were kind of crazy; I boxed up Lowbrass’ item and handed off to Chiku18 who then shipped to JEBIV to bring to the Chicago meet up to exchange for the roti. 

But it didn’t stop there...

... Lowbrass and I came to another agreement and before long I had to ask JEBIV for another huge favor, to bring back a Ranger!

Last weekend we finally made the trip up to ATL to pick up the vintage roti, the Ranger, and a set of wire SJ legs from Brewtownbeatdown.  (Another kettle made its way down to FL, but I’ll let that member post if they so choose)

Huge thank you to Lowbrass, JEBIV, and Chiku18 for helping me acquire my holy grail.  Joe even threw in a pack of vintage lighter cubes!  I’m forever indebted to your kindness.

I previously mentioned a set of wire SJ legs which I had been searching for on behalf of a local Weber enthusiast who found a speckled offset handle SJ at an estate sale, but unfortunately didn’t come with any legs.  She reached out to me for help getting her little SJ on its feet again and thanks to Brewtownbeatdown, I’ll have the pleasure of dropping off the wire legs this weekend.  Although they aren’t period-correct, I know she’s extremely appreciative and hopefully she’ll join the fun here at WKC.

The story doesn’t end there...

Coincidentally, Chiku18 spotted ANOTHER speckled offset SJ in a box and not only alerted me, he went above and beyond by securing it and having it shipped to me directly!  It’s like having my own Kettle Koncierge!

Thank you Brewtownbeatdown and Chiku18; they may seem like isolated incidents, but we all know kettle karma is real!

When it rains, it pours.

Such was the case when Mcgolden reached out to see if I had any interest in his NIB 18” shish set.  I’ll admit, I was still rebounding from the Ranger purchase, but I just couldn’t refuse 1) a vintage accessory, 2) a vintage accessory made for the 18’s, 3) a vintage accessory made for the 18’s NEW IN BOX! 

Thank you, Mcgolden, I really appreciate it!

And to think..

I have seen that Ranger in Person!  It was in my back yard for the inaugural Meat Up in STL!! I actually had the pleasure of wheeling it in!!  I truly enjoyed witnessing @Lowbrass almost come to tears as his bacon wrapped smokies were a cookin' on the Ranger!!

Man...  Good times.. good times....

[Lowbrass]
