New Member from South Suburbs of IL

[landgraftj]

Hey guys, finally got around to joining. I'm in the south suburbs (Midlothian) and have been grilling and BBQing for around 5 years now. I'm a PE teacher so it's nice to have summers off for cooking! I currently own over 50 weber kettles and smokers. I'm also an avid Jack Daniels fan and Tennessee Squire.

Hi and welcome to the Pit. That is a LOT of Weber kettles lol

[Spinaker]

have you ever had them going all at once?

[Huskee]

THAT. Is. Beautiful! WOW! Can't say I've ever seen such a thing. Here's a question- did you collect them in those colors or are you such a Weber hobbyist that you painted them yourself? Either way, pretty much the coolest pic I've seen in a long time. If you ever find time to expand your current collection I want to see a tie dye.

Welcome. That's quite a collection for just 5 years. I'm guessing your also a member of the Weber Kettle Club?

Yes, one of the earliest members.

Unfortunately, no. I think 4 or 5 at once.

All of the kettles are original colors, none have been painted. Crazy thing is that's not all of them!

Welcome to The Pit landgraft! That is a really impressive Weber kettle photo, and by my count you've only got half your arsenal in your picture!

Please tell me, what's the story behind all of those kettles?

All were acquired on Craigslist, estate sales, or trade with fellow kettle collectors. And you're correct, I have plenty not in that photo too. Need spring to get here soon so I can clean em up.
