Buy a black and cut the leg sockets off to rebuild that Cado!
Then give grandma the black bowl and lid for a planter.
searching for a 26.

Build a table, set the bowl in it and get the vents turning. A good cooker.

+1. Replacing leg sockets on 3 wheel bowl is a relatively easy project...

That kettle is actually in excellent shape given where it's been laying. Are the sockets still in the dirt? The possibilities are endless for this kettle. Since it's paraplegic already it would look great in a Woodard cart.

the spot welds for the sock ets are small rust holes, my grandma said she took them off cuz they were hardly holding on. I have a pallet I was gonna use for that OTP I was trying to get but I have a pretty good idea for a stand for this guy.

@LiquidOcelot what to do with it?
Load it is the back of the Honda wagon, and next time you're in San Jose drop it off at my house.
You don't want your family eating food cooked on a grill that was sitting in the dirt.
Nice grill!
Although she's no longer here, I'm still trying to get my grandma's '66 Grand Prix

I think you should make a 'Cado performer out of it! Would be a unique combo.

just remembered I have a 18 bowl just sitting there with legs. guess I'll attempt to put the sockets on the Cado. the rust holes are kinda big on one maybe I'll use 2 peices of aluminum and use them as like a triangle washer/sandwitch plate for the sockets and bolts to grab onto

little bit of wd-40 and some persuasive taps with a rubber mallet loosened the vents right up. light wipe and she's looking good for now

Looking great! I love Cados. The beauty of these old Weber kettles. They could be half buried in the dirt for few years and still looks great after a quick clean up.

Ok! I got you now. Other options are to buy the custom made SS brackets from 56MPG. Not sure if he still has them but worth inquiring if interested and mounting them. Or using existing metal bowl handles over the top rails and securing with some sort of plate and bolting.

Funny you you should mention that. I'm picking up a bunch from my metal guy today. Both 22.5 and 18.5 size. I'll be contacting those who had expressed interest earlier, but may have a pair left over. I'll post separately in Member Sales & Trades later today.
