Picked this up yesterday for £30 ($40). seller pics definitely did it justice... probably a chimneys worth of used damp briquettes still inside, missing ash catcher and not a fan of those wheels!
Underneath all the crap it's actually in pretty decent shape, Wondered if anyone knows the color name, apparently according to a friend it's not Glen, it's more of a turquoise colour, I can't find any history of them online, the real 22" Glen reissue that came out with the 26" was a master touch and therefore had a lid bale

Appears to have been a fire pit in its previous life

Nice find! I can't believe anyone would treat that beautiful kettle so harshly.... You've got it looking nice!
On the color - possibly Bluewave, Turquoise or Wedgewood... Here's a thread where someone has all 3 smokey joes that were produced in light blue. Yours should be one of these.

That is cleaning up wonderfully. You are going to have a beautiful kettle when you're done. Great rescue and restore.

Greg, years ago I had seen the thread you linked and remembered the cool pic of the 3 light blues.
But reading through it again today - with all the different colors you received, I was reminded of Johnny Cash "One Piece at a Time". LOL
Did you ever get enough of the same colors to put together a whole SJ (or two)?

Quote from: OkieGirl on September 03, 2025, 09:56:36 AMHey Brenda, yes I got enough parts to have a complete Wedgewood Blue SJ. I've never used it, but get it out from time to time just to have in the office..... oh and used it on Halloween a couple times during Covid for candy bags.....Quote from: bamakettles on September 03, 2025, 05:46:40 AMNice find!
