BUMP!
Here's the 22.5 black one time OTS turned "Mastergold". It now has a longer front leg cut from stock aluminum I bought at the hardware store, some 8" wheels, not sure I'll keep them blue yet, the lid bale, thermometer, and some fireplace replacement handles..... these handles really look orange in finish and are nowhere near the quality of Brian's handles
, I got them to try them out on this kettle to interpret what wood handles might look like on a kettle today if Weber still did wood handles on everything. This kettle is slowly, but surely becoming a European style kettle. I plan to get the longer rear legs and use my true European front leg which believe it or not is taller than the custom front leg I cut now. Pardon my hose clamps..... I still have the broken tabbed ring on this one, oh and the ash can..... even funnier story, this is the ash can that was originally black and I spent 3 days scrapping and stripping to silver......only to find out the next year that Weber made silver cans again, so I painted this one back to black since I like black cans with black kettles.
These modern "woodies" almost look plastic made to look wood from certain angles.
Thanks for looking!
