I had no idea they continued to make the old design that long overseas after scrapping it here in the US and Canada.
yep - i've seen the old school MT's in ivory, lemongrass and spring green over the summer.

the bummer part is they are the lower height. 

awesome find in canada for sure! 
I only use kettles with lid bales.

Cheers all!

How the heck do you find all these exotic kettles?!?!? Cool find.

Generally on hard to find grills you need to act VERY fast in order to beat the flood of others hoping to snag the same thing... then also hope you run into an honest seller who follows a bit of CL etiquette. I'd say it's about 50/50 on that but there are a lot of cool folks out there that will honor the sale if you contact them first.

I find that most of the time even the CL alerts or search apps don't catch stuff right away and can take 30min to an hour before you get a notification. By that time its usually too late. You'd be surprised how many listings are posted, sold, then deleted all within an hour. Repairing and selling gas BBQ's is a way I make some money on the side so I'm also checking ads more than most sane people would. ;)

Cool, cool, cool. The top handle has a reddish appearance, (looks almost like Cocobolo Rosewood), while the bowl handle is more brownish.....stock handles?

lol - wow - good eye Hoss. It appears that when I was installing the handles I not only swapped the wrong back onto either handle, but also managed to pick two different woods. :o :o ;D

I'd trade my never used new Ivory MT for a nice clean older style any day of the week ;)

As a cooker the new MT is brilliant but it just doesn't have the same character as the oldies IMO :)

Wow, was it even used or did you do a cleanup?  Nice grab.

I wiped the lid and bowl down with a rag but they either kept it very clean or didn't use it much. The legs needed to be cleaned and polished and this is a replacement triangle as the original was just a bit too far gone. Congrats on a Green C&B find Yourself! Looking forward to learning about the brownie 8)

No, not stock handles :)

Here's another quick one with the handles sorted out and a proper ash catcher installed (Although I may look for a silver one to use on this color)
