Blue Weber Kettle

[jetfxr27]

Wow, shes a looker. I got one a little rougher off CL, that looks like that one, cant wait to decipher the born on date.
Does anyone know when they quit making them in US?

Great score! Based on the instructions the 30000 series must've been the 18-1/2" Bar-B-Kettle and the 80000 series was probably the 26-3/4" model.

I'll bet a Weber collector would trade you a brand new One Touch for it.

Congratulations on a great catch, that old and still brand new unbelievable

Hmmm... No Blue listed!!

And Arlington Heights surrendered the "312" exchange decades ago.

Nice find!

Early Christmas mod.

happy for ya but also so so enviouse. i bit my cheek and 'am now sucking on blood. i would not use it. just put it out where i could look at it and enjoy the simple beauty of it.

My god man! Box it back up and will it to your grandkids. That is quite a relic.It would almost be a shame to cook on that thing. If it was a car you'd have to get historic plates for it!

 

[Smoke & Beers]

Great Find!
But you're gonna be cruel and not fill us in where you found it??? :sad:
Are there more????:mrgreen:

Savannah River Site is just upriver, we are the only qualified disposal site for "toxic blue". obviously, you must send it here.

Man that is a find.
Yes, you could box it up and save it, but it really needs to breath. Fire it up and cook some pron.

Beautiful kettle. Where abouts in Schaumburg are you .? I grew up there.

 

[Brian in Maine]

Congrats!!!! Are you going to keep us in suspense? Where did you find it, and how much did you pay?

 

[skeetman]

I found Ole Blue on CL picked it up saturday am for......$45. I thought I was buying just a new unused grill, but when I found out it was 30 years old and blue I'm not sure I should use it.

See what happens when you come across something like this! Now you've got a Holiday dilemma on your hands!
Nice dilemma.
Guess you're going to have to come up with some unbias way to decide if you cook or no cook.
Good luck.

Congrats, great find. Put that thing in the garage and just stare at it and rub it with a soft cloth every once in awhile!
