New to me 26” Weber Kettle

[Johnny Ray]

Saw this like new 26” Weber Kettle on Marketplace a few days ago. Picked it up this morning for $140.
She cleaned up nicely. Still need to clean the cooking grate.

I think I got a pretty good deal. However, to make it even better the guy gave me this 22” Kettle for free. She’s a little rough but I’m sure I can bring her back to her original glory with a little elbow grease.

I now have a 26”, 22” and a 18” Jumbo Joe.
Can’t wait to get to kettleing. Lol

Jackpot. I got a 22” performer from the curb once and brought it back to life. The house was moving, all it needed was a new ash scrapper (I replaced the cooking grate just for peace of mind)

 

[Brokenhandle]

Heck yes, great score!

Lol. I didn’t feel guilty though.

Nice. The 22 will definitely need a cooking grate and charcoal grate.

Heck yes, great score!

Thanks Ryan!

Thanks Jim. Sure hasn’t been hurt that’s for sure.

Thank you. I watched this one on marketplace for 3 days before contacting the guy. I was surprised no one jumped on it.

Great Score Johnny! I'm sure you'll have that second one looking as good too.

Great score!! Both my smokers were used scores. Love letting someone else take the retail price hit.

What ! He didn't give you a cover ???
You're gonna love that .

 

[sawhorseray]

Great find, but way too clean, dirty that sucker up a bit! RAY

 

[SmokinEdge]

What’s say we get it dirty? What is the first cook?

Thank you. I’ll work on the 22 when I get back from my AK trike trip next week. She’ll be good as new.

Thank you. I struggle passing up great deals. I agree, the retail price hits are going to get even harder over the coming months I believe.

What ! He didn't give you a cover ???
You're gonna love that .

Lol. It’ll stay inside but a cover would have been nice.

Great find, but way too clean, dirty that sucker up a bit! RAY

Thanks. Got some thighs and legs to try this afternoon. Hopefully.

What’s say we get it dirty? What is the first cook?

Hope to get some smoke rolling on some chicken parts this afternoon.

That's a heck of a deal. I'd like a 26", but not enough to spend that much money on a new one when I already have a pair of 22". But for that price and condition, I'd have been all over that.

As for the old 22", all the replacement parts are available and they can be brought back to "like new" condition and provide years of service.

Thank Gonnasmoke. This one was originally posted for $200 then dropped to $175 then dropped to $150. I offered $125 and we settled on the $140. I really didn’t “need” another cooker but couldn’t pass it up.
I plan to purchase new grates and ash catcher for the 22”. It’s been neglected but it’s certainly worth restoring.

Really good deal. My buddy is getting into the smoking game and about to buy a Weber kettle. 26” are going for well over $300 new right now, and the one you picked up hasn’t even stretched its legs yet!

Thank you. Your buddy can’t go wrong with the Weber 26. It’s size is really impressive.
