Crap that thing looks brand new! Awesome job.

Yes, it was practically new IMO. It's an EI vent code BTW. Only blemish was a inch long chip of the red porcelain on the rim of the lid. Stu is a class act because he installed a new 7409 ash sweeper, new charcoal grate, 7403 charcoal basket and A couple of Brian's handles. Stu was going to include a new Weber gourmet grill grate too, but I already had a couple from the recent C&B clearance so we negotiated that out of the price.  Hell, I think the wheels, legs and triangle are new too cus they look so clean, LOL. Stu even had his copper pipe insert mod done to the legs already so they are rock solid.

Man, I would love to drive up to see that 26" ranch he built recently.

Wow Wow Wow !!!   The two tone with the new handle really looks awesome.  I need to order some handles for my collection. 

Please explain the copper pipe insert mod.  I have a few loose legs. Sorry I have been out of the loop for a while.

Just finished 'building' this 18.5" OTS kettle, it's my first grill, and i'm giving it as a gift.  I wanted a small grill, but wasn't satisfied with what was available so i had to do some improvements.



wood handles from Brian O'Neal, added a thermometer



bought the parts for the ash catcher from ereplacementparts.com to upgrade to a OTG



filled the pathetic legs with copper pipe to make them stronger and heavier. they probably weigh 4x as much now.



drilled & tapped holes for thumb screws for all 3 legs



higher quality rubber footer





reinforced both sides of the bottom of the wheel legs with fender washers





cast iron grates from Craycort



the end
