welp, we've been looking for a cabin in the mountains. so far we have rejected over 43 properties. in our search I always look to see what ppl are bbqing w/. this one cabin had a old weber. real old. I asked if i could buy it. I have a thing for old webers. well, please give a warm welcome to the Green Ghost.

i thought the GG was a 60's weber kettle. nope. my wife dated her w/ the patent # and the lime green color. the Green Ghost is a '73 weber built in early '74. kinda cool.

WOW nice find!! Wonder what your gonna try on it? Ribs or butts!

That looks like my old mid-70's Weber, except mine was black. I lile that ash catcher design better than the one they have on the Silver kettles now. Good score Sparky.

That is awesome. Great find. Will fit right in at your place!

Great score Sparky. A fellow on the virtual bullet site makes wood handles for old kettles at a very good price...........

I've seen them. the handle isn't a 1 hole screw. its 2 rivets on it. real old school.

I had a 72 Vega GT, worst car I ever owned. It did seem to be a chick magnet though.
