Structo kettles are painted, just like their “brazier” grills. Not super high heat paint though, so firing them up when they’re in this shape can be nerve wrecking.

Post by: Darko on February 20, 2018, 10:38:36 AM: I'd still buy one though.

Post by: hawgheaven on February 20, 2018, 10:50:47 AM: Okay, give me some mechanics here. Obviously, there's a big ass vent on the lid. What does the bowl have? I see the black thing... is that an adjustable vent...ash catcher... universal cosmic defunkulator? The unit looks cool, just want to know how the air flows thru it.

Not sure about the specifics of this model, but Structo’s kettles had one large damper on lid & bowl. Black piece should be a tiny ash catch pan like this:

I can’t wait to see the detailed pics of this grill & the paperwork.
