i won a Weber Original Kettle Premium from I'm Hungry !!! :)

[JeffB1961]

I'm Hungry on you tube had a give away a month ago and i'm one of the winners . it's the only thing i've ever won from any internet source and i'm pretty stoked about it . i don't know if michael is a member here but i'm very grateful for the win and the videos he has shared .

i've ordered the unicook cover for it and a LUTANI 10 inch bbq whirlpool (cheap vortex) for it . moe's black gold bbq is another youtuber i like and he has used a lutani for a few years with no issues . i have a few unicook covers and i think they are great in spite of their very budget price ($17) . the lutani was only $10 . moe's lutani has a little hook/handle but at $20 is the same other than that for twice the price .



i've been wanting a kettle/smoker big enough for a pork shoulder for traveling and camping . last summer we loaded the oklahoma joe bronco in the back of the renegade for a 6 hour trip ..... not exactly fun but it provided good food for good friends and family and good times . but this kettle will be soooo much easier to load and unload ! thanks again Michael if you're here ;)
take care folks :)

Congrats! Weber kettles are really good grills. Treat them right. And you'll get years of great cooks out of them.

thanks folks :)
my unicook cover was delivered about an hour ago . the lutani whirlpool/vortex is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and the weber is supposed to be delivered saturday . we might get several inches of snow saturday so that may delay delivery ........ but chicken wings are gonna be first on the menu after a burn in/seasoning .
take care folks , jeff

my kettle and the vortex is here :) assembly was pretty easy . going by you tube videos i was expecting to use some very choice words getting the legs on but everything went together and no choice 4 letter words were needed . there was one big surprise though , it has P vents ! my lady like it a lot so that's always a good sign .

michael/imhungry thanks sooo much dude ! this is so cool ! i'm gonna go season it in a bit but probably won't cook on it till sunday or monday . the forecast tomorrow is 29 with 2-6 inches of snow and wind chills near single digits . i picked up a 10 lb pork shoulder today for it's maiden voyage . i figured i'll do something easy first and do some wings the second time around . thanks again dude !

BTW the cheap $10 vortex has decent thickness on the metal and i suspect it will last me a few years , maybe more .

Congratulations on the new Kettle, you'll love it!!!. I will say don't waste any coals on burn-in. Just wipe it down with a sponge and wash the grates. Remember it's porcelain coated so there isn't any machine oils on the surfaces of the kettle. Good luck and have fun.

anybody know when they started doing p vents on the original kettle premium ? none of the videos i saw for it had them .
