The King Has Arrived!

Stoked - is the best way to describe me right now..... '75 Aristocrat arrived today. There was some damage in shipping and the seller treated me right. Most is now straight and there are some new porcelain pops. All original vent wheels, wood handle, wheels and grates. No original ash pan came with it, but I happened to order a 26" version on Jeff's last run. Glad I did! My first 26" vintage will now join the group. Goal was to have one of these by the time I posted my 2500'th post lol.......

You are absolutely going to love cooking low and slow on that vintage 26'er.

Thanks guys! Time permitting this weekend I'll clean up the triangle a bit and do some other detailing. Wife has named him "DiMaggio"......

Will heed the warning..... A purple kettle. That just doesn't sound right!
