- If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I had two kettles, but only used the second one as an overflow cooker once in a blue moon, so gave the older kettle away to a friend who needed a grill, so that it could see more use, and help someone out.
If you haven’t used it in a year, re-home it to someone who can make use of it. You can always get another one down the road.

I kept one of my Performers to make wings using the Vortex and sold the other one. That is the only thing that I cook on the Weber. Most of the grilling duties go to my PK 360 or Hasty Bake Legacy.
I gave my 22" Kettle to my son earlier in the year because he wanted to get into grilling and he uses it quite a bit.

Passing on a kettle because it's no longer used is noble but I simply can't do it. My first Weber 22 circa 1975 still to this day sits out of the way (in the weather most of it's life) and could easily be fired up should I need to. I don't. I keep it because it reminds me of the transition from a series of really cheap grills and having no idea what I was doing to actually cooking great food. It has moved with me numerous times nonetheless and continues on as a true friend through now my third wife. It inspired me to grow into other great cooking techniques and new possibilities. Some might question my life priorities but some things in life just need to stay and if a 45 year old Weber kettle happens to be a life anchor so be it.

Well put. I too have an old kettle that was my grandpas and is now obsolete but does get fired up on occasion for nostalgia’s sake. Like you, I just can’t get rid of it.

Those Weber’s never die. Bought my first one in the mid 1990s. When I moved, it went off the back of a friends PU on to a 6 lane highway. Landed in the median. Only suffered a crease in the dome. Sweet wife got me a performer when we moved into our new house. They both still go strong but get no love since the pellet grill.😞 I can’t bring myself to get rid of them.
