Texan rehab before and after
« on: September 22, 2015, 07:00:51 AM »
Truly surprised at what just a few hours of cleanup did for this old kettle. Used a lot of the tips and tricks found here on the WKC site. I did end up trying the Pam trick, figured if it fades again I will just leave it. I was able to free up all of the daisy vents. Wheels still need a lot of love, probably replacement as does the handle. Had a lot of fun cleaning it.

This was the before shot

Yeah I was blown away that Pam made that big of a difference. @zavod44 what would a handle run me for this guy? I've heard great things about your handles. PM me if you have a chance.

Crate & Barrel - and if you're lucky - they blow them out this time of year. I almost got one last year for $118.00, but had no way to get it home at the time. Still kicking myself. It's a great looking blue!

Gave the full 400 bucks for mine but I love it, makes me smile every time I cook on it. Wish I had a green one right next to it.

Great job weldboy! Soak those wheels in Evaporust overnight and you'll be amazed at the difference. [emoji106]
