Awesome Mac! Great score!!

Apparently even the dark abyss known as Craigslist Canada can produce the odd gem once in awhile!

Congrats On the sweet score and welcome to the Performer clan

What is the vent code on this beauty? It's not super obvious but
this kettle will darken up a bit when it get hot.

Thanks for looking everyone! I am super stoked about scoring this. It has "DE" on the vent code.

I just finished dealing with the small stuff today before I head to work. Had to drill out the lid handle screw ...

The lid bale rollers were a PITA to remove. Some expected melting had occurred. Will go with wooden ones when completed.

Basically now just need to get the lid and bowl cleaned up, then re-assemble.

The burner assembly still looks to be in good condition. I didn't test it, as I don't have a small propane canister on hand. Not too concerned.

Nice. Looking forward to the post cleaning and reassembly pics..

I am jealous of the color!! I have a black gen 3 performer and it has made my cooks easier. Wife says only way iIget another kettle is if it is a "cute" color. I am on the lookout!

Awesome score! Good things come to those who have positive kettle karma.

Can't wait to see it shined up. Congrats.

I can't believe you got it to fit in the car! How long did it take you to break the whole thing down?

Metal Mike · July 15, 2015, 10:37:19 AM

Inspiring, I will have to try your methods in my two door sentra...

You will love that kettle. I use my C&B performer the most out of any of the kettles

@Tommy B , I would say it was 20-25 minutes, but it was all new to me, so I think next time it will be half that ...

This beauty is cleaning up real nice and easy.
A very small ding on the bowl about the size of a dime, and some minor crazing.

I do not like a black ash bucket on a coloured kettle ... my own personal preference.
I'm thinking of painting it much like @Jeff did in the following thread:
