This is a rare sighting! A custom Weber kettle from the late 60s, and one that has never – until now – been photographed in the wild. Thanks to WKC member CSorvala, we’re able to share this amazing grill with the world of Weber kettle collectors and enthusiasts. Manufactured in 1969, this grill depicts five of our…
With the Supermoon in full effect, an amazing pair of Weber Custom kettles have risen from the distant horizon to dazzle us all. There’s much more to the stories – and we’ll have more to share soon – but we did not want to wait to share this incredible evidence of Weber Stephen’s history. First up…
This may be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s been reported by WKC member SixFourZero that Weber has indeed moved away from welding on the lid handle. It has been replaced with a bolt on version. This is the biggest design change we’ve EVER seen to the iconic Weber kettle grill. I’m sure there…
Jim posted these pics on our facebook page a few days ago and I’ve been dreaming of his Ranch kettle ever since. We don’t yet know the story of this grill, or why Jim cooked 30 turkeys in 6 hours – but we’re doing our best to get some details. Until then, enjoy a couple…

I am pleased to introduce our next featured member and he goes by the handle dazzo around these parts. That’s his clown name (no joke!) and though he claims to clown around no longer, it must be an important part of his life. Without further ado, here is how he describes himself: My name is…
This Saturday WKC Team Cali had a Norcal meet. It was an epic event with 8 members and a few dozen kettles of every vintage and color. Keep an eye out for a full writeup on the west coast meet master thread but for now here is a sneak peek! If you are looking for…

Tweaking the internal temperature is accomplished with the amount of charcoal, charcoal position, and the the adjustable vents. Since the adjustable vents give you versatility, a…
When you have a chance to get your hands on an original Weber kettle, you don’t say no. You grab your camera and pray for good weather. I recently had that chance, and took full advantage of it. Weber Stephen headquarters in Palatine Illinois is home to some amazing artifacts – remnants of over 60 years of innovation…
