It finally came...My roided kettle.

[Misplaced Nebraskan]

Hadn't really posted it up yet. But it'll get a real proper break in this weekend... thread to follow on that!

Second pic is with the 26" grate on it!


Popped up locally and got it for $500 couldn't let it go! I lost sleep for one day before I jumped haha.

Few chips around the rim and spider webbing, but the guts of it are sound. got a quote to get it blasted and high temp ceramic coated for $250. Gonna go that route I think just to preserve it forever!

It sure eats some charcoal! But I'll put it to the test this weekend.

And I'll keep pushing Chris to get one

That's awesome . I would love to have one . That pic with the 26 inch crate is an eye opener .

When I pulled up to the guy's house I just started laughing. Knowing it's 37" and seeing it in person are way different. it barely fit in the 4Runner! The wife just gave me the usual eye roll

 

[Misplaced Nebraskan]

Sorry for the derail Chris. Just trying to give you a nudge

The 26 is still an amazing kettle and I really like it still. With the vortex it's awesome for 90% of what I do.

 

[gmc2003]

Misplaced Nebraskan, nudge is definitely felt. I gonna have to start saving my bottle redemption money. The grate on grate picture looks like a 14" smokey joe grate sitting on a 26" grate. Are you going to duplicate that pork belly burnt ends photo?

Chris can be seen walking away emasculated.

haha. I think that is the real inauguration. A double pork belly cook. I'll have to fill it up! I can always find people willing to eat those.


Also good call. I should get the 14" Joe to complete the set! That'll make a great photo.

Don't walk away! walk SW... a loooong ways and you can have some PBBEs!

That's a mighty tempting invite, but if I did you'd have to supply the PBRs none of that Hank Hill beer .

The PBR flows a plenty here! and the whiskey collection is getting out of hand too

 

[JC in GB]

Very nice. I will have me one of those one day!

Damn Chris, that thing is a monster! Congrats. You will be able to put a big packer on that thing. How awesome is that? Enjoy, I am looking forward to all of the future food porn from that thing.

Believe it or not they also make a 37" "Ranch" kettle as well.

Yes, but it's $1400. Pretty sure I would just buy two or three 22" kettles if I really needed to the cooking space, lol.

G, I own the 26er. Misplaced Nebraskan owns the huge ranch. The 26" is big, but the ranch is HUGE!!!

Yeah, still I almost got one a few years ago. Had the $$$ but no good place to use or store it.

Don't get me wrong. If I had the money I would be all over that puppy. That's just not in my budget unless I chose the right numbers this week lol.

Oh, I get it. That is a lot of money to invest. Probably good I didn't get it as it would not have really been practical. So far I have never needed that much grill space...then again I have had a couple of friends ask me to cook for some larger functions. In any case it is always fun to think about!
