Upper Midwest Weber Gas Grill Reunion

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I would have loved to have been a fly on a kettle listening to the chat! I hope you guys all know you are all welcome if you are passing the “Celery City” original home of The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar company and the Checker cab!
A bunch of other stuff but, Youze Guys sausages is one of the more important things that is still made here!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Very cool that you guys got together, shows what a great forum this is.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Looks like good times!

Bruce, do I see a red kettle disassembled lying on the ground outside a storage shed?! I'm surprised Jon let you slide for that! Haha

Next trip to Wisconsin !!!

Yes that would be great. This was just hastily put together since my wife and I are staying in the Chicago area for a few weeks. We could do a lot better if we start planning now for next summer - hopefully one without COVID-19 to mess things up! I think we would have some great grill talks and lots to eat if we put some effort into it.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Looks like a great time was had in a couple of places yesterday.

Yeah, Dave, and next summer we need to plan it so YOU can attend, too!

I offered both the red and black kettles to Jon. He didn't know if would have room for them and more importantly, he wasn't sure they would pass the wife test. His name is on them however.

If COVID dies down along with the potential of swine flu, I’ll make the drive from NJ. I’ll volunteer my skills and man the medical tent. I do accept tips in the form of brats and burgers

 

[MarkSiebel]

FANTASTIC!! I'll be in the N. woods of WI for 2wks end of Sept. I may swing by!!!!!

 

[Brad Olson]

Just a suggestion, but if this gets legs and takes off (and it looks like it might be happening) maybe it might be a good idea to move the thread to the "Announcements and News" forum and make it a sticky?

 

[LMichaels]

Sadly speaking for myself I doubt some of us look there

 

[Bruce]

Yah, since we are targeting the gas grill crowd (although all grillers are welcome), I think this is a good place. I know there are a lot of coal burners out there that monitor this forum pretty well.

 

[Joan]

Whatever you do, don't post it in the recipe files. NO ONE ever looks there.

 

[Bruce]

I have several times.

 

[Joan]

I have several times.

That'll teach ya. lol

 

[Bruce]

I had to learn how to rehab grills and then I had to learn how to cook on them. I thought the recipe list was a good place to start. LOL

 

[Chris Allingham]

I am behind this effort 100%! Let's make it happen!

 

[Bruce]

Chris, are you coming out from the left coast?

 

[Chris Allingham]

It would depend on timing.

 

[Jason in CA]

I've been wanting to organize something like this at the Elk Grove Park where the BBQ competition is held. I know we have a lot of members in the area, and less than two hours away. You guys really have the wheels in my head turning now.

I'm behind this 100%, too.
