Title: Gollys red gas kettle
Post by: Golly on February 14, 2013, 08:06:08 PM: Bought this on gum tree last week from the other side of the country
The seller wouldn't sell to me at first and said if I doesn't sell in the first week I could have it
Asking price of $30
A week later still wouldn't sell to me so I offered $60
And they accepted
Another $50 for shipping
It's getting picked up next Wednesday

That's just plain Bad Ass! 8) I was just looking at a picture of one just like that and wishing I could find one someday. I am really glad you got it. That's real showcase material. I can't wait to see it fired up in Gadial Ganing. Oh, and that weird half skillet is "The Perve"! :o

If you adhere to ISO 8601 there is no confusion: 2013-03-11.

(My crusade after working in a shop where every program used a different and unique format to represent the date. ::) >:( )

Title: Re: Gollys red gas kettle
Post by: Duke on April 15, 2013, 06:19:59 PM: I think any old red is worth restoring. I wish I had that grill. Look at how bad my sequoia bowl is rusted, but it's on it's way now. You are going to have the best gasser weber ever made! ;)

By the way, I just found out I lost one just like yours a while back for free. I didn't get to it in time, but I saved the picture. I will post it when I find it.
Title: Re: Gollys red gas kettle
Post by: Duke on April 15, 2013, 06:27:07 PM: Check my bowl out! ;D
