…and you say *I* have issues???

Just wanted to record this for posterity’s sake, as there will, most likely, be no point in the future when I’ll own five (count ‘em…five!!!) weber grilling/BBQ devices. Here’s the roster, from left to right:
- 22.5″ One-Touch Platinum - stellar craigslist find
- Smokey Joe - previous owners of our first house left it in the garage
- Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker - this is the only one of the bunch that didn’t come into my possession in a slightly-loved state
- 18.5″ One-Touch Gold - another craigslist find
- Old-School Genesis gasser, ca. 1989 or so - hand-me-down from the parents.
I’ll be selling the 18.5″ One-Touch Gold tomorrow, so I’ll be back down to 4 Webers :-(
Edit: Perhaps I’ll add a “1.5″ item to the list above - my Weber chimney starter. I’ve grilled both filet mignon and tuna steaks directly on top of it, so I consider it worthy of inclusion in this list.

ah, grilling is fun!
You’re one of the only people I know who could have a cook-off against himself :-)
Hehe - dang right!
I just want to say that I think you would get along great with Michael for oh so many reasons. Too bad we don’t live closer to each other. He’s a weber fanatic as well. We recently learned that we could not use charcoal grills on our deck (city of Chicago ordinance or something), and we almost had to move.
Hehe - I *know*! Maybe you should move up here when you’re done w/ school…we have many SW jobs in the area ;-)
