Introduction from North Carolina
« on: May 08, 2020, 08:30:14 AM »
greetings from just north of Charlotte, NC
What a plethora of information here. This recent abundance of downtime have me cleaning up around the house.
One of my long-term to do items was do something with a kettle that has been in the family since new. Able to discern the vintage as 1973-74 based on the knowledge from age guide.

Now the difficult part of deciding to restore or pass on to someone else. Mike

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

Greetings from Greendale, WI.  You can’t consider anything other than restoring that family heirloom.  Let’s see some pics of this 46 year old kettle

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

I agree with brewtown, get it in shape to cook and show it to the group!  Before and after shots are always fun.....

Welcome from just south of Chicago, IL!
I swear, when I score a great deal on a 26" I'll stop buying grills... So often.

This was the guide I followed it’s well worth it especially something that’s been in your family for 40+ years!
