RIP Weber grill

I bought my weber grill in 1998 and it has got no lovin in the 14 years it spent outside on the deck.Rain,snow,ice without a cover,this beast of a grilling machine gave up the ghost last night,right after I took my 16 inch brook trout off the grate (caught it last Sunday ice fishing). The bottom tray rotted off as well as a large piece of the original burner.That was the best 550.00 I ever spent,and you can bet there will be another weber on the deck by the weekend.. Let me know if you ever got 14 years out of your fav grill. I doubt it !!!!

Damn sad day. :(

Make a flower pot out of it; then it can be right there, next to the new one.:hmmm:

Gotta love weber.. My kettle is the best grill I have ever owned.

My buddy has a weber that was his dad's and is well over 20 years old.

. I think the plastic wheels are what will go first on mine

In 23 years I've had 4 Webers 3 kettles and a gas, the first kettle was a 24" red monster I used it tell the leggs fell out from under it with about 10lbs of beef on it, washed off the meat, put the grill body in a large flower pot , put the coals back in and finished cooking.
The other three are 24" 14" and the gas that I used this very night. I also use the weber chemines that I can not count how many of those Ive had.
Love the WEBER!!!!!!!!!!!( and KINGSFORD):bow

The best I ever had was my families old huge kettle. they don't ake that size any more but it lasted about 30+ years. The Big red machine!

My family had the same weber kettle from before my birth until shortly before my 18th birthday.
