Because I think I have enough. Wink

I've now managed to accumulate 6 Webers and I think I've reached the saturation point. Last week I found a $5 kettle on Craigslist and it turned out to be an older (metal bowl handles), undated 18-1/2" Bar-B-Kettle with 3-hole bowl vents. It's a little rough around the leg pocket welds but still solid, so with a little cleanup and touchup it should be good to go. The seller was nice enough to hose it out and pack it in a plastic bag, which made it a lot easier and cleaner for me.

But does a $5 grill really cost $5? Of course not. It was a 95-mile trip to go pick it up and 105 miles coming back (it was a great day for a drive so I did some wandering), gas probably set me back close to $30, and I had to spend 4 hours of my Saturday apart from my wife and kids. In a word: BARGAIN! Big Grin

14" Smokey Joe
18" Smokey Joe Platinum
18" Bar-B-Kettle
22" Bar-B-Kettle
26" Bar-B-Q-Kettle
Smokey Mountain

And they all get used. No trailer queens here!
