So yesterday, after 6 months of patience, my 6th SSP color arrived.
This was picked up at an estate sale last year in Chicago by @Shoestringshop
He went above and beyond for me in many ways on this. I only hope for us to be all as he is.
he threw in some extra goodies for me as well. Much appreciated Dan.
It's an elusive Grey. O code. I had a frame so just needed the bowl with hose and regulator.
So I unbox it and gave it an initial cleaning which proves very promising. Couldn't wait to get her in the frame. This is how far I got yesterday



Thumbscrew for original OT came off with ease. Did you spray it down Dan?



One of the goodies he sent. An extra mounting bracket for ash bucket ring.



More goodies from Dan. Above and beyond my friend

Just the start of it,




SO this AM I get a text from @DrewZ  at 5:50 AM with a link. BIG THANKS Brother.
I open it up and nearly fall out of bed. I get up, make coffee, and go to my laptop to look again.
Been up for about 8 hours. When I look at the address provided in the ad, I Google it. It's 1.6 miles from my brother in-laws house. It's 6:30 AM and I can't call the seller or my brother. I waited until 9 AM to call seller. We talk and I call my brother and he says 4 oclock. Not much I can do but deal with that. I let seller know and he says he'll be home after 1. My brother calls at 2:30 saying he can go now. Text seller and said he went out again but will be at home at 4 as planned. At 3:50 my brother texts he's leaving. 4:15 he calls to tell me he has it. Only picture for now, sorry.

What are the chances? In 24 hours I go from 0 to 2 Greys.
This puts me one grill from completing my first started Collection.
All SSP colors to include 22, 18, and SJ.
Black,Green,Red, Blue and Plum are complete.Black, Green and Red to include Outrider 18s.
Plum only consists of SSP 22 and 18. Don't know of any Plum SJs. 
I'm to undertand there are no 18 Greys. @Craig?
If so, I just need a Grey 22. Who's got it? :)

That grey SSP lid/bowl set looks to be in phenomenal shape! Congrats, Colin... on both greys! Rare ones, for sure.

Dan definitely spreads the kettle karma. Great guy!

Awesome day for sure! I think you did an excellent job cleaning up that kettle. Shoestringshop is a good dude as well.

Kettle Karma does exist. @kettlebb been handing it out like crazy lately and later today, I'll help pass his karma on to someone new!

congrats buddy!  Glad that SJ got picked up with ease!
Its amazing how quickly one weber kettle turns into more than a dozen!  Always open to grabbing something interesting so let me know what you've got!

I know Jim, it's gonna be hard to find. But patience is a virtue.
Is that yours in the picture? @Cellar2ful

No, it was a photo from a Letgo add.

I have seen two other brown SSP posted here on the Forum.

@CatskillSmoker I used PB Blaster spray on it everyday for about 2 weeks. Sorry it took forever to get it to you. Enjoy the gifts!
Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

Hi Cats, what did you use to clean the interior? What ever it was worked fantastic! Congrats on the stereo grey pair.

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill
