New Kettle for me
« on: April 16, 2014, 07:21:58 PM »
So a couple weeks ago I found a blue Mastertouch listed.  Its a grill I've been looking for now for a little while.  I thought it would go nice with my other MT collection.  I was lucky enough to find this one in pretty remarkable condition.   The bowl and lid were in super condition.  I took everything apart and cleaned it up.  I was even able to remove the original OT system without breaking the nut on the bottom that holds the 3 blades in place together (normally its so rusted that the nut just breaks when you twist it).  It even came with a condiment rack. 
The only thing I did besides cleaning the kettle and bottom half was put 2 new handles on from Brian, and got an assist from Stu (G) for some lid bail rollers that were missing, and 2 nice used wheels since the original ones were rotted pretty good from the sun.  It's nothing super fancy or vintage, but it goes well with my other MT's that were missing a blue sibling!

Blue looks really nice by itself, and the whole family looks awesome together.

Very nice!  I hope to find one of those in my area as well.

 That red one to the right in the pick has some amazing fade on it. That's looks pretty unique in its own right.

The one on the right is a Burgundy MT, its much darker than the red as you can see.
Here they are side by side

After I put the 4 MT's away, I realized I forgot to get the copper one in there with them.  Too much work at the time to pull those 4 back out.   :(

Very nice pick up Jeff. The blue MT is in a class of its own. :)

I have always liked the blue MT's, but that's still the only maroon I have ever seen. It's the MT's that first got me hooked in the early seventies when I was around six or seven. I still keep my custom modern blue MT on hand and will probably never part with it. It's the grill my son and I bought together when he was four.

Haha, I was about to call you out for the copper. Nice pickup, Jeff!
