Just closed the deal on a ........

[TasunkaWitko]

Weber Kettle -

Not too many details yet, but a heck of a nice guy in Malta (about 70 miles away from home) just got a nice propane grill and saw that I was looking for a Kettle. He said he had one in great shape, only used a few times. Price was pretty nice: Free!

Good Luck Ron! ..... They are sure fun

At first I thought 70 miles, bit far of a drive unless the price is right.

Well, can't beat free unless he was also offering some fuel and meat at no extra charge to go along with it

What a great score!

hell, jim - up here we literally drive almost twice that far (130 miles to great falls) for groceries and a day of decent shopping and/or food - and over 3 times that far (240 miles to billings) for the really popular stores and the olive garden/red lobster experience.

also, i know a couple of folks in the same town who live where he lives and they make fairly-regular runs this way, so i should be able to arrange delivery by the end of the week; if not, it will be a nice drive down on a saturday - maybe take i some catfishing or some other form of recreation!

i had one of these about 15, 16 years ago, always regretted letting it go - come to think of it, that one landed in my lap, too.

i hope it's a 22.5 versus an 18.5, but at that price, i'm happy either way ~

scott - i'll be relying on your advice, getting down to fundamentals with it and then working my way up from there!

LOTS of Great kettle cooks on here to help oot Seems we all do things a bit different, which makes for great discussions & though IMO

Butt, if you wanna have an outdoor cooking tool that can basically do anything, IMO there's nothing like em

Damn

Takes me exactly 10 minutes to get to the nearest Red Lobster if I don't hit more than 2 red lights.
45 minutes to get to Philly where they literally have everything under the sun you could possibly want.

Though you probably don't have to deal with so many shitty drivers, traffic jams, shitty drivers, smelly smog, shitty drivers or even shitty drivers like I do every day.

Today this sumbitch...I don't even wanna go into it because it would take a while to explain but this bastard...son of a bitch shit driver

[TasunkaWitko]

ol - thanks for reminding me how fracking lucky i am to be from montana, where you can literally drive a big part of the day and not see another driver in some places - even no sign of "civilisation" other than a fence or a power line running alongside the road -

My best friend & his now 17 y/o son travel to Montana every year for hunting, since his son was about 12 or so+-........ They just love it over in that country & I think his son is maybe going to attend Montana or Montana State ?..... Went to a football camp their during the Spring.

[TasunkaWitko]

it could be either one. the former is in missoula (grizzlies) and the latter is in bozeman (bobcats). each has a very good football program, and the rivalry is fierce, indeed.....

[TasunkaWitko]
