From the WKC forum:
"The earliest green kettles Weber made were the Avocado Green kettles. Introduced around 1967 and available through 1973. This had a super cool “mist” or two tone finish that varied in visibility through its production run."

Decent looking avocado. Easily worth a a couple hundred.
Any ideas what the metal ring in the first photo is for?, doesn't look like a rotisserie ring.
Also anybody notice the inverted Vortex in the Rib Roast video?![]()
I have seen the ring before look closely he has a rotis hooked up to it so he spun the turkey I assume and the ring gives height as well as fitting the rotis.
Here is one from cajun bandit, they are not cheap.

Cajun Bandit isn't cheap, but it isn't made cheap either. Their rings are made of stainless steel and is the best deal you will find for a NIB roti. About the only way I would go with something else is if you were lucky enough to buy a working roti used for under $100. I also have their kettle conversion kit that right now I primarily use for chicken cooks, but next season I plan on stacking the roti and the conversion kit together to use as a smoker. I know someone else that uses the roti/conversion combo for a smoker and they no longer use their WSM as it has similar capacity. Sure if you get lucky and find a good WSM used for $200 that is great, but those opportunities in my area are next to 0. I think the cost of the conversion kit and roti was less than a NIB WSM so I am happy and don't need to keep an extra spot open for a smoker.
If you sign up for their newsletter they frequently have 10% off sales. If you are lucky, the item you are looking for will be available during the sale. Right now I think their stock on their 22 roti is gone because we just had Thanksgiving and there were a few 10% sales this fall.
