My Very first Weber Kettle
« Reply #-1 on: April 05, 2015, 03:57:57 PM »
So I ordered this Kettle Friday evening at 5:00PM from Amazon and selected the free shipping with an estimated delivery date of about a week. I can't believe it showed up in less than 48 hours and on Easter to boot. I have never received a package on a Sunday in my life from the USPS and she was cute too ;D

Front porch service



Emmett must inspect all that comes through the front door.



It was super easy to put together and nothing was damaged. It even came with an extra wheel nut.



I think we'll just leave Ginger in the house for the day and ogle at her :o



I have tomorrow off so I will get some Charcoal and I think I may spatchcock a chicken for my inaugural cook. Thanks for looking.

That's a nice looking kettle. I've not seen that color before.  You are going to love it.

P.S. Our little kitty has to do the same thing; inspect any new box that comes into the house.  :D

I love meat cooked over charcoal.  My Weber kettle is the more formal model (black).

Buy a chimney when you buy the charcoal.  Try to stay away from charcoal lighter fluid.

You are going to love that Weber. I love the color and that is a cool name. Mine is just basic black and he calls himself Fred.
