Friday I drove two hours to Bristol RI to rescue this 1978 Classic Metal Bowl Handle Redhead Weber Kettle. It belonged to a guy’s parents who had it in their garagefor years. Look at the dust. She is going to clean up beautifully. Rare red, especially in this kind of shape 38 years old.
Found this Blue Stainless Steel Blue EI Code ’97 Weber Performer. There are a lot of aficionados that say that the Stainless steel Table Performers with their sturdy black frames are the most timeless of the four generations of Performers. They haven’t made a stainless steel version of the Performers since so they are highly sought after. i’ll clean this baby up an dit will blow your socks off. Timeless beauty, timeless functionality.

The question is “Do you think your nuts?” It doesn’t really matter what others think about ones hobbies.

Whatever floats your boat. Some folks collect snow globes or beach sand from around the World or Frisbees.
You will become an expert on the subject. Write a book!

This may sound strange but I really enjoy the restoration process. I think mainly because I know that underneath even the most Charcoal caked on spider cobweb filled Weber Grill there’s a machine that will spare at close to 100% of its original luster. And after getting burned by spending lots of money on gas grills that fall apart in a couple year’s time it’s just so satisfying bringing one of these beauties back into useful life, providing meals that will satisfy families. I only seek other rare colored ones that my friends or I would like. So when someone wants to get into the passion like me I can have one for them and teach them how to use them and clean them. Does that make sense?
