Acquired my first Weber Kettle
« on: February 24, 2023, 06:10:44 AM »
Just got this beauty from an estate sale for $20, having no idea what I was getting other than I loved this kettle grill. Found Weber Kettle Club which helped me figure out that I have a 1963 Ambassador (If I'm correct). Looking forward to restoring this amazing kettle. So glad to have found this website and having access to all of your knowledge and advise in restoring my newly acquired kettle.
