Title: Yachtsman trash find!
Post by: Bob BQ on August 03, 2019, 01:53:40 PM
Got a text from my wife this morning... she found a Yachtsman on the curb... the kicker? She stopped and put it in the trunk!  Its going to be a project, but this kettle will definitely cook again.

She is definitely a keeper to stop and pick up a Yachtsman on the curb!  Congrats! I also look forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Interested in seeing how you deal with the elongated hole and missing grate strap.

Whoa! That before pic looks like it was used as a heat shield on a space capsule re-entry.

Great save!

My wife usually isn't very hands on in my hobbies. The other day when I saw a mid 70's mbh on an estate sale website she said "you should have told me about it, I would have gone and checked it out" brought a tear to my eye! We've got some good wives! We went the next day and I got it.

Can't wait to see the restore process, have fun.

NICE!  Even partially cleaned up, she is clearly coming back to life.
