Steel, as well as the ash pan.

@harris92 It will be part of the whole write up. Not NOS, cooked on all of it's 54 years.
She's a beaut...
Great job on the refresh Greg - what a stunning kettle!
That Texan looks killer! I love that Weber retained the white wheels for a time in the early 60s. What's the first cook going to be?
what an absolute beautiful blaik 8)
i see why you cant do a full write up at the moment
you must have worn your fingers off polishing that ash catcher :P
Wow that is beautiful!
I've watched the progress from pickup to restore. It was in pretty damned good shape to begin with, now it's showroom stunning! I think this makes the oldest 1960s 22 black kettle in the club now?
Very nice.
Congrats Greg, couldn't happen to a better guy!
Wow, incredible!
Greg - AMAZING kettle! Talk about a time warp - that thing looks new. Looking forward to the write up and a bunch of pictures please!
Congrats,
Winz
Wow...absolutely gorgeous!!! Awesome job on the resto!!!
Greg- This is an amazing kettle-score and and even more amazing restore. Way to go my friend!
