Great color on that kettle. When you get your Weber chimney starter,also get the Weber starter cubes. Sure beats newspaper ash blowing around on a windy day  8)

Safer as well, especially up here in the mountains  8)

You'll LOVE it! I had my Original (black) 22" Weber grill for 30 years, gave it away when we moved down here (tight on room).... but now that the wife has given me the entire deck to use, I'm going to get another one, because some stuff just tastes better roasted over charcoal. BTW.... if you're looking for a decent 'round dome' cover for that, I was in Home Depot yesterday and they have one that will fit that perfectly on sale for $9.95. It's a Master Forge brand, (I've had good luck with their covers) but HD also has a large selection of custom Weber covers that were all on sale as well, I think that one was $22.00, you'll want to keep it covered, of course.

If you go with a Weber cover for your 22.5, they offer two. One el cheapo and the other is of pretty good quality.......

You're gonna love the Weber.  I cook on mine 2-3 times a week, pretty much year round.

Like others have said:
 - get a charcoal chimney & the small weber chimney will work fine
 - get the lighter cubes, much better than newspaper and they on cost like a quarter a piece
 - put the Vortex on your "soon to acquire" list
 - if it hasn't been mentioned yet, look into a set Grill Grates, if only you don't lose anymore asparagus ! ! ! !

Lastly, I would say, get out there and crank that baby up ! ! !  (Oh, and take some pictures, we LOVE to see what each other's doing.)

Do all the big box stores typically have the lighter cubes? Guess I've never really seen them (haven't looked).

Home Depot has them, too.  Plus you can get two 18.6 lb bags of Kingsford for $10!!!!
