This stunning piece of kettle history was found in a storage unit in Minnesota and is owned by WKC member, Saxart. This very unique color is described as “bright burnt orange” and the finish has a bumpy texture. The lid and bowl are in incredible condition for their age, however, the legs and wheels were…
The grill you see here is about 60 years old, and cooks just as well as a new one. Let that sink in for a minute. When WKC forum member charred saw this listed online for “free,” he didn’t hesitate to get it. He knew it was special, but only learned afterwards just how special. Click here to…
Featured here is what quite possibly may be one of the oldest complete Ranch grills we have. This kettle is documented from 1959 and recently sold at a local auction in Ohio for the incredible amount of $4200.00. The story behind this kettle is most interesting in that the original owner won this grill on…

Thanks to a member of the WKC, we have this great picture of the three generations of Weber Ranch Kettle. While the shape and support systems for the Ranch have changed over the years, one thing is consistent – the Ranch was designed to cook for very large groups. You can read about…

Pairing it up with George’s brick barbecue that once graced his backyard…
This is an 18.5″ kettle made in 1958-59. We will describe the color of this grill as “Sky Blue” for now. Its certainly darker than the turquoise, or “baby blue” more of us are familiar with. This is the only grill we have documented in this color. This particular grill has an unmarked lid vent….
Here’s a rare one, possibly the only one we know of. Thanks to Einrej, we now have photos and a story behind the acquisition. E stopped at an estate sale in Red Granite WI, saw the grill and thought that it looked cool. He bought it with the plan of letting it rust as a conversation…
This ultra rare, mega vintage ’50s Weber Kettle has a solid metal triangle base, metal top handle, and badass yellow drizzle factory finish. It’s an 18″ grill with metal top handle. Possibly the rarest grill around. It belongs to Ed, a longtime friend and hero of the WKC.
