Glen Blues

[1spacemanspiff]

I'd like to thank @JonesBBQ  for the hook up on the Glen blue 26 lid and bowl.  I was able to find a few kettles being sold together including a newer black 26. I will be using the 26 as a parts kettle and ended up selling the lid and bowl to a WKC member (he has quite the boneyard and I'm sure it will be rebuilt). This and selling the other kettles helped offset the cost for the Glen 26er.  Not long ago I saw a post here about someone looking for information regarding his glen blue 22 bowl. He got some information and some suggestions on pricing if he were to sell.  He ended up listing it on eBay and soon after @Joep  posted that there was also an eBay auction for a Glen blue lid.  After seeing this I ended up getting in contact with the seller of the bowl and inquired about purchasing it. We had a good chat and decided on a price pending if I were to obtain the lid (I didn't really need half a Glen blue kettle).  I then reached out to the seller of the lid and was able to purchase it.  The lid arrived first and a few days later I took a trip to San Francisco to pick up the bowl. Frank, the seller of the lid said he posted it after seeing the bowl on eBay. Both sellers said they were hoping someone would purchase them to make one complete kettle. I learned from Frank that the lid was used as part of a fire pit before he rescued it.  I never spent as much money as I did on obtaining these two pieces to form one kettle. But after selling a few I am only out the time it took me to drive to San Francisco. I am grateful for WKC and all the information held within this site. I am grateful to the members here that make this site what it is.  Kettle karma is real and I believe these two kettles are a perfect example. If you're looking for your grail I would suggest you stop looking. When it's feasible,  help others without asking anything in return.  Then, seemingly out of nowhere you might just happen upon what you're looking for
