Nice blacks again! Stu, you really have some nice grills. I think the teens also qualify as flatties. Please tell the story. Kendoll, nice collection and I really dig that original griddle for the GA. Greg, another nice score. Any luck with that Woody?

Thanks Shawn. No luck with Woodie, need to go on bike ride today...

My blue was feeling left out ... he wanted in on the pic.  ???
The MBH in the middle was acquired about 10 days ago. Cleaned up nice.

The wood handle was in great shape. Can still make out the "Weber" in the centre of the handle.
I applied some spar varnish (satin) and it looks almost new. "A" vent code ... 34 years old - not bad, eh?  :D

 Mark, you're going to need some kind of Gadial Ganing type thing out back pretty soon...... 8)

Nice kettles everyone.......quite a wide variety for something in "Basic Black" !!!!!!!

I gathered some of my blacks together for some pics today
Pics are a bit rough. It was hot and sunny, I think it hit 100f today,


I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

You're missing a black gasser GA. Congrats on the new acquisition!
If it breathes, we can cook it!

Is it a little early for a Spring show-and-shine?  Believe me, Spring cannot come soon enough.

Not a lot of colour to rescue up here in the GWN.  So, I make due with rescuing some desired / neglected blackies.

I got these beauties late in the summer of 2014.  Very good prices, too.  :D

An "M" code (1990) Outrider with a new handle replacing the beat-up original.

Then, a "DT" code (2003) 18" OTG with custom handles,  swapping out the stock plastic / nylon white handles.

I've posted these pics before but they belong in this thread.


The blacks are my favorite.
