Did you get out and grill this week? Some of our members did. Here’s one result. Lots of pictures in jamesnomore’s thread on 2-1-1 baby back ribs.

Winter is slowly loosing it’s grip in the US Midwest. I know it is even though we are expecting 4″-8″ (100cm-200cm) of snow today. On the other hand, we have no sub-zero temperatures predicted and may actually see the high go above freezing this week (for the first time since January 15.) Yay! Meanwhile, things…
This grill, the 26″ Weber Westerner, is likely one of the most iconic, vintage, and sought after Weber kettles ever produced. What makes this grill so unique is its rarity, its two toned Chestnut Coppertone paint scheme with brown longhorn steers on the bowl, and that it was only made in the 26.75″ size. No…
I nearly shat myself on Saturday when this ULTRA RARE GRILL appeared on eBay. Not only is this cow skulled beauty the rarest of rare – it’s also in fantastic condition. According to the Weber Timeline, the Westerner became available in 1958. This specific grill is 1962 or older. Even though this grill is MISSING…
Things are still kinda slow here at WKC with the cold winter going on but the forums heated up quite a bit this weekend. An original Weber Westerner- a 1960’s brown and white 26.75″ Weber kettle with two longhorn bull heads printed on the bowl showed up on eBay this Staruday! For many Weber lovers, this…
Weber is listening. They’ve observed our desires for colorful kettles and responded with two new colors for 2014. The Crimson and the Copper.

One month and one Super Bowl down in 2014. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for being victorious over the Broncos! Did you see any Weber’s in the gameday ads? There was a redhead that almost looked like one, but it had four legs. In case you missed it, the WKC football bbq cooking guide is still up…
The Superbowl is the biggest sporting event of the year but it’s also the best event of the year to show your guests that you are MVP of the bbq grill. Studies also show that armchair quarterbacks are more more effective when you have a stomach full of bbq so never watch a game hungry…
First of all I will point out that the title of this post uses an ISO 8601 standard format, making it understandable ’round the world. 😀 Next I will draw attention to the article on WKC member 1Buckie and referenced in this post. Buckie is the kind of guy who makes this site what it…
Pictured here is a patent number yellow 22″ kettle. With the “BAR-B-Q-KETTLE” style lid vent and the large bowl tabs on the daisy vents below, dates this particular grill around 1975. The grill is owned by WKC member Jeff. It’s all original and untouched with the except of a new wood handle from Brian along with…
