Are green MBH really that rare?
« on: April 17, 2016, 07:07:42 PM »
I did a search and found some posts stating there were only a few known examples out there. Anyway, this happened this morning. B code MBH - As seen in the craigslist ad yesterday. A quick look over revealed A quarter sized ding on lid, a little rim rash, some rust at base of lid handle, and out of shape lower vents. Sorry but I won't be able to inspect any further, take any more pictures, or tell the story because I have to finish my taxes. They have become a nightmare trying to find quarterly records for some stock that I have had in a DRIP for 25 years and entering that data after the company was involved in a cash to boot merger.

Wow. Yes they're quite rare.  I think we've seen 3, not including yours.

That kettle could be your next long term investment.

Do you think it will work out for me  if I bought into it for $20, ten gallons of diesel @$2.09 per gallon, and three hours drive time?

 I am hoping for it to pay me back with dividends of years of cooking memories.

That sounds like the best investment ever :)

Can't wait to see it in action.

Yes they are quite rare. Only low single digits owned in the club.

Nice grab!  I was next on the list if you didn't make it.  I knew that one was a rare one, but I didn't know there were only a few out there. Congratulations!!!

Whoa! Congratulations on the find, @stubblebum ! Not many in the club or out in the wild, I've been looking for one for a long time myself. I look forward to seeing more of this cooker in action.

@stubblebum - did you get the grill?  I saw the CL ad too, but 4hrs drive was a bit too far for me.  Post up pictures if you got it.

I got it but it is still in back seat of pickup truck. Further details and pictures will have to wait as I still have to finish my taxes. Taking it out and cleaning it up will be my reward for finishing them.

Nice reward! Looking forward to seeing more. Especially interested in the finish - smooth or 'avocado'    8)

I thought I've seen a couple 18.5 green MBH. They are in a class by themselves. I'd like to get one of those.

Craig is correct, I have a green 18.5. Not sure of the code. I'll look later.
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.
