$25 22.5" three wheeler from CL

[Mr. Bones]

Nope, it ain't no $20 Performer, sadly, but too good of a deal to pass up...probly git gifted to somebody, but in th meantime, here she is:

I'll start with th CL ad, since I got home an hour ago from retrievin her, haven't taken any pics, yet...


Date code is EE, indicatin 1999, last year of both three wheelers, an wood handles...

Looks like both th lid, an ash pan have become victims of them 'playful' winds we experience, hereabouts...

Insides look fairly clean, especial fer bein ~19 years old, not much usage...

Both grates are in great shape, cookin grate is likely a replacement???



Top handle still purty good, bowl handle looked like a dog been a chewin at th ends...

I had one of those late 80s early 90s (little foggy during that period of my life). I remember it because my drunken buddies (and I use the term "buddies" loosely) tore the ash tray off and were using it as a frisbee. Later on in the day some jack-a-loon pushes another jack-a-loon toward my pool, the guy misses the pool and plows right into the kettle full of ribs. Bent the lid so badly it was worthless thereafter and I finished the ribs in the oven, totally pissed.

Actually that was a pretty bad memory of that kettle. Thanks for the reminder Bonzey

[Mr. Bones]

That's a Classic Cook story, (An jack-a-loons story) I'd dang sure been pissed, as well, foggy or not!!!

[HawkerXP]

Nice score! Wood handles look good, tires have nice treads.

[HawkerXP]

You can pop that dent on the top like I had to once. Darn wind. I put top in round plastic garbage can, handle down and kind of bopped it with a hunk (4foot) of 2x4. Popped out pretty nice. Those handles were cheaply attached as you see and prone to rusting. I had to add a couple of pop rivets to my classic. Good luck.
