My kind of kettle

[radshop]

Driving home last night I saw a familiar shape on the curb with the trash. Too dark to see much, but I put it in the truck and brought it home. Upon daylight inspection, it kinda reminded me of myself:
* showing signs of age and irresponsible usage, but they don't show so much if the light is favorable
* not what it once was, but good for at least a few more years with proper care

Nice score if you need one. Just a little elbow grease and it should be like new.

[Mr. Bones]

Excellent rescue score; I'd a nabbed dat in a heartbeat!

Like ya done said, we're all beat to Hail, so can empathize with this Brown Beauty!

[radshop]

Honest truth, I thought of you as I was loading it up. And I knew if I passed it by, somehow you just might sense the disturbance in the force.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks fer thinkin of me, Brother, an, yeah, truth be told, I'da probly sensed it lol!

Of course I need one! In fact I need 2 or 3. LOL

[Mr. Bones]

She's still got years left, enjoy!

Oh man that reminds me of one I had years ago. Wooden handles and all. It will last you forever, just get some hi-temp paint to cover the metal and your good to go. Weber can probably get you some replacement handles if you need them.

Thanks for the encouragement. It definitely looked rough when I first checked it out, but I'm feeling pretty happy to have it now. After I got my LSG sideburner, I traded my 26" kettle to a friend who I inspired to start grilling. Been wanting to get a 22", and now I have one.

[mountainsmoker]

Yep a new grill grate with flip ups is only about 17 bucks and if it needs a charcoal great that is only about 13. When I said hi-temp paint get the 700 degree not the 450.

Good find.

[Troutman]

Way to, fix her up and give her the use she deserves, I dub her "Brown Betty".

[FireMan]

Nice lookin, deserving of all the accolades. Now we git to see what yer made of in the rehab Dept.

[JeffJ]

Can't beat the price.

[jfmorris]

Good find. I hate to see the damage to the porcelain finish, but the cost was right. Looks like the main thing missing is the ash catcher pan that goes between the legs?

[mountainsmoker]

And that should be replaceable from Weber.

[klflowers]

Nice pick up.

[smokin fool]

Why can't I find something like that....maybe time to move to a better neighbourhood.
Congrats on the find.

CRAP!!! Did some one say Rehab!

Oh, false alarm..phew!

You are are living uptown brother. The side of my road are trash cans.

[radshop]

I know, right? Yesterday a guy on the street corner was holding a sign: "Will work for Gucci or Supreme. No knockoffs!"

[HouseHomey]

radshop you should have said "Hello." That was me. Darn we just missed each other.

[radshop]

Homey that's some funny stuff
