Alright this is one I've been wanting for a long time.
Been running a little bit of a drought in the kettle finds lately, then this one shows up right in time for my birthday (tomorrow)!
This showed up on CL and I jumped at the chance. It was about 90 miles from me each way, so it's also the furthest I've driven for one too, but no better way to spend a Saturday than kettle hunting.
Only got a little bit of the story, the nice lady who had it was the original owner, and used it until they switched to gas.
On to the pics

I was really surprised when I opened the lid and saw the grate, she said she would degrease it at the end of every season, and man can you tell!

I got it all cleaned up, but it was too dark for pics, so I'll post those up tomorrow when it cooks up some football/birthday treats!

Nice job!
Looks amazing!!!
Oh my goodness, would you look at that triangle shine!
Beautiful. The redhead I found is not nearly that nice. Great cleanup.
Well done! Looks excellent. I love that Home Depot carries the thumbscrews to put these back together correctly.
