It's stories like this that give the rest of us hope. Granted false hope for most of us. Nonetheless, amazing score. Congrats!

This grill went un used / noticed for decades.  In a few short momets and negotiations it is now seen by 1000's and possibly???  What a story and a for sure grail find!!!

Congrats!!!!  And display the old girl with Weber pride!!!

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

So, um...yeah, send it here.  ;)

That's what I was pondering last night @1buckie .  What else is out there that is just waiting on a grillfella to find?  I'm still amazed at this thread.

Yes, this.

This find is very exciting and I look at it as a reminder to remain vigilant in the hunt and to work together.

I often hear the sentiments, "nothing ever shows up in my area", well... perhaps change up the search tactics.   I know the next time I get my garage door serviced, I'm gonna have a brisket ready for the guy/gal who shows up. 

Really excellent find, congrats, JDD.  Happy for ya!

Yes this, I've also been thinking about new ways to find kettles, eBay and Craig's list is too competitive.  I'll bet garbage men see a lot of them! Do you know any meter readers?

That's reason enough for me to head out to the '18 Meet Up- the '56 Petting Zoo.
