    Just bought a new kettle

    Howdy folks,

    just found this limegreen 22" beauty in an online ad. Went to purchase it from the owner this morning. It has (allegedly) been used 3 times, looks pristine to me.

    My wife and I just purchased a house, and a house with no grill is not a happy home

    This also means I get to cook more with the SnS, which I look forward to.

    ...and now I've improved it by adding a self-adhesive gasket all around the lid. This seems to be a newer model, as the bottom edge is rolled. I seem to recall that being a sharp sheet metal edge before.

    The gasket is a standard bbq (nomex) gasket that I cut in half lengthwise with a pair of scissors.

        Looks 1970's-ish to me

          That must be a good thing, right? :-)

        A very nice score Henrik. It looks yellow on my monitor - it it pale green or very yellowish?

          It is dubbed 'lime green', it's a color Weber made in the 1970's (I found out via the Weber Kettle club website). They have now started re-introducing those colors. I think my photo filters are scewing the color just a bit. Here's a raw photo of the color:

            Henrik, Great looking Weber regardless of color! You can't smoke Brisket on the Outside Anyway, or at least I don't think you can! I have used Weber Kettles for over 40 Years! The S 'n S, Adrenaline BBQ Co., Amazing Ribs and the Pit Club have taught me How to use them in the past 2-3 Years!
            I have two Weber Kettles a Performer Deluxe with a Med Vortex that I use principally for chicken, steaks and.... that I Reverse Sear! The other Kettle is an Older Performer that has the S 'n S and SS Baffle on the Coal Grate, and a BBQGURU DigiQ DX-2 Temp Control! This is one Phenominal Smoker!

              Dan, how do you like that Vortex? I've read that it's the best thing ever for making wings, but there's no real advantage for anything else. What do you think?

              Guest, Guest, Thanks Guys! Tom, I like the Med Vortex a lot! As I mentioned to Henrik I do most of my reverse searing of Chicken Legs and Thighs (Can't Afford Wings), Steaks, Chops, Salmon and....with the Vortex! I'm Scotch decent and a Small Weber Starter (30-35 KBB) will do the Cook! Dan

            Congrats Henrik! I'd love to find a really cool color.

              I was just looking for the cheapest black Weber kettle I could find, still in good shape, and then this showed up. I just had to grab it :-)

            Henrik that looks like a Master touch. What kind of food grate does that kettle have? The Gourmet Barbecue System?

            You can't get that kettle in that color in the US so you've got a lot of folks stateside very jealous right now!

              Cool :-) I had to google the gourmet bbq system to figure out what it was...nope, this one has the regular chromed grate which can be flipped open on two sides.

              I much prefer the normal hinged grate to the GBS, so even better!

            #12
            Great score.

            I love the color.

            My 4 charcoal burners are all black.

                  Your new kettle is so beautiful I've come back here more than once to look at it. At online stores all I typically see are black, copper and dark green. Hope to see more colors, which might not be good for my wallet.
