Yup. Social Media. Can't stand it. I left PhacePhuck years ago.
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

"So couple of months this ago I was talking to a friend about being on the look out for old Webber's for my drum builds. He told his dad worked for Webber for 27 years. I did a charity que for his kid with cancer. Well he went back home for the holidays and just Facebook me. I think I'm having a heart attack. His dad has a shop 20 x 50 with every color under the rainbow of Webber's in boxes. Boxes of accessories. His dad told him to pick three and give them to me for helping his Grandson. I didn't know Webber made a 36, 48, and 60 inch they were made for a seafood restaurant chain. And he showed me a white one with pig,fish,cow and chicken painted on it. His dad said that was the way they made it.And some Webber's that we're Porto types. When you do good for God you get rewarded."
This sounds like the beginning of WKC folklore an old grizzled grillfella would tell a NOOB to incite good deeds and kettle karma. 

I choose to believe.  TFS, Jim.

I've seen stuff like this with cars... Amazing stuff is found. It may be true or it may be a story.
