Today, I offered my "G" code 22.5" kettle as a birthday gift to my brother (he was born in 1985) and was totally stoked by the gesture.
Well now, I need some form of a 22.5" Weber for my frequent outdoor cooking. Anyway, I'm on the old interwebs looking at Craigslist...and what do I find?
A barely used 2003 Weber Performer (22.5" non-assist kettle only model) for $25 with free charcoal and a chimney. The table was cracked, but the kettle itself was in excellent condition. Problem was, it was about an 1.5 hours from where I live now. Good news is, it was 10 minutes from where I used to live...about a mile away from my good buddy's house. Within 30 minutes he was there and home with my new Performer. Next time I head down that way, I am going to pick it up from him.
My Craigslist reach is starting to run all over California! Just have to make a phone call to a friend to get things done.
I think I am good for now...that is...until a 26.5" kettle pops up.
Happy Hunting!
