Thanks to
@Peaspurple for selling me this near-perfect F-Code. My buddy is a big Bama fan, so I added some Tide swag. He'll like, I think. Also added the new ash catcher. The legs and triangle cleaned up nicely. I think it all came out pretty good!

JJ that thing is awesome.
If you want to take it even one tiny step further, grab a $4 wire wheel for your hand drill from home depot and give the Top Vent cover and rivet a quick hit.
Its a quick and easy job that i do when ever i flip kettles on craigslist. Polishing the vent and especially the rivet makes even on rough kettles look way newer.
For this grill it would be like "polishing chrome on a Cadillac".
A HARVARD CRIMSON MT ;)
Looks sweet! I don't know what it is but I really dig the new design ash catcher with the old red kettles. It just looks cool!
i am very confused by the bowl handle location and hood bale location on this kettle.

An "F" Code Redhead started life with two bowl handles.....only way to add a lid bail is 'go sideways'......
It came to me with the lid bail already on. Maybe
@Peaspurple added it, not sure.
I like the new ashcatcher too. Thanks to someone here who detailed how to mount it - in a previous thread!
Yep, lid bail was added later. Looks great. Hard to see it Bama'd up seeing as I am a UGA fan. Oh well, maybe it'll bring them some bad luck with my Dawgs. Lol.

Ouch! Sorry, man, must be disturbing to behold the Bama mods!
i see. i'd probably swap the legs around so you can at least pull it straight with a handle. you'd have to put the bale to a side but at least you can move it easily.
looks great, awesome red right there.

Thanks, Greg, I'll do that.
Nice!
Gotta love a Redhead!
Thats Sweet!
as a GT fan, I'm glad you didn't Dawg it out
