(Yet) another rescue Weber Kettle...

[Mr. Bones]

I cain't save 'em all, but this one cried out, so I went, an' bought it...
Umm, errr, make that 'Her'.
Totally My Bad, there...

"E" Date Code (1983) weber 22.5, no body rust, Gorgeous Porcelain, no dings/dents/rust, even nice original wooden handles; she's obviously lived indoors, most of her life... (34~ish years...)

New ~ hinged cookin' grate, well worth th' $20 admission price... recent ash wipers, as well...

Hail, she even gots her some pretty minty whitewalls! Very rare, even on much newer kettles...

Sigh.

Guess I'm jus' an' ol' fool fer a shapely kettle, here in my 'jus-barely' pre-dotage.

[FlaBouy]

LOL... damn yard full of pound puppy's and still draggin them home. I hope they all play nice with each other...

[FlaBouy]

Consider it an opportunity to install that flux capacitor on the land yacht...

[HouseHomey]

While your in there don't forget the Funortner rod!

[Mudkat]

Nice find Mr. Bones! Looks like it's all rescue and no restore!

[Georgia rookie 903]

hey I appreciate good guy's like you. If it still works and needs a little tender care and saves the landfill and you have a charitable heart then my hand and heart goes out the a great american and human being. Thanks for you generosity

[CaptainMike]

Georgia rookie 903 is asking for some grill advice and I said I thought a modified Webber 22 might work for him. He's a wounded USMC warrior and maybe after you get some particulars from him you can offer some thoughts Mr. Bones.

[Mr. Bones]

We spoke, at length, on th' telephone... Thanks, CaptainMike !!!
I think we got today covered;
Tomorrow, we'll see...

[Mudkat]

Thanks for your service Georgia rookie 903. I don't know where we'd be without the great people like you! Welcome to the Pit!

[customtrim]

Nice looking find

[hoovarmin]

Can't beat that! If only people knew what a work of art the Kettle truly is.

[Mr. Bones]

I know dat's right...

[HouseHomey]

Mr. Bones I would like to contribute to the acquisition of the cooker for Georgia rookie 903 by covering the cost of that acquisition if that has been worked out. Bonsey please advise.

[CaptainMike]

Me too!

[FireMan]

Hey Mr. Bones, ya ever think of maybe given one or three of em a custom paint job? I know you can tell one from the other cuz they're your kids but, we can't.

[HouseHomey]

Which kid do you give away? Ask me, I know which one of my five you can have. I mean my actual children though.

[Mudkat]

Good stuff going on in this thread. (Maybe not the kid giveaway part bit hey I don't know them. 😊) Proud to be a member!

[Georgia rookie 903]
