Way to brave the elements. True WKCspirit. That would look great with a steel table. And Ebony handles. I think you have the new grate covered.

Keeping this one.  The two Blue SSP will be sold on the spring. The black peel MBH  will be sold.  The Red brick,  crate and barrel green and Grey, Simpson's 22 and Red 79 are keepers

Pulled over at rest stop to give a better inspection.  The only problem area is the handle on the ash bucket.  I know if you squeeze these it can come out,  but can you buy just that handle part? (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170106/a07dada1dc188263cdcc3499b93614a1.jpg)
Some extra goodies that will get passed on with one of my other kettles-

I may have one of those handles in decent shape for you, WLYK when I'm back at the hacienda.  I'd totally buy one of those blue SSPs from you if I were closer.

Nice score, congrats. That handle may be able to be saved. On my blue OTG it looks just as bad, but it still works good.

Fifth in my current possession.  Ninth overall.  I've got a couple Blue SSPs, a brick red  and Crate and Barrel Grass Green Performer and now this second gen Crate and Barrel Dove Grey. Need the Blue Crate and Barrel Performer to round out the collection.

It'll drive m nuts.  Crazy how the rest of the unit is in such good shape and the handle is that rusted.  Hoping @Mr.CPHo can help me out!

Pretty sure those handles were sold with the pot and are long gone.  I ended up painting one as it was in too bad of shape.

@Mr.CPHo it would look close to this, but with a little darker kettle:

Congrats! Awesome color.   @ captjoe06 - C&B Blue not your favorite color?  You got rid of both blues.

Congrats! Awesome color.   @ captjoe06 - C&B Blue not your favorite color?  You got rid of both blues.
I haven't sold the Blue SSPs and never had a Crate and Barrell Blue SSP unless these were C&B versions way back when.  I thought the latest C&B Performers (the ones after the Grass Green) were the only blues from C&B. 
I love the color of the Blue SSPs, and the looks but After using an SSP down the dock last summer it bugged me how I'd have to move the stuff off the table of the Performer to get to the tools I keep in the charcoal bucket underneath.  That and the fact that is tough to get the older 5 lb gas things filled is why I prefer the newer generation Performers and why the Blues will be moved.  Once spring/summer rolls around the money made from flipping those should finance meat and charcoal expenses for the season.  [emoji486][emoji488][emoji494][emoji490][emoji535][emoji894]

Can someone let me know if the Blue SSPs were exclusive to Crate and Barrell because if so I may have to keep one to try to round out the set.

^^^^   Not SSP Blue but 3rd gen Blue. I thought you had 2nd or 3rd gen blue which I think is C&B.  As must as I like the Grey and Brick Red, I will have to settle for my C&B Lime and Blue and soon to be Grass Green performers.  That Grey is definite keeper.
