Matt - that restoration is breathtaking!  Thank you for all the pictures - very cool to see the "in process" shots.


Well done,

Matt, that is a tour-de-force  ...  great work.  This "epic" thesis belongs, for all posterity, in the WKC Restoration archive.  Please, please, please tell us you'll make it so.  NOTE:  I truly believe the term epic applies here

Amazing restore! What powder coat/paint did you use on the internal of the cookbox? I didn't think powder coat did that well with high heat. We have some powder coating contracted out for work and I have thought multiple times about getting a kettle done. Wondering if there is an equivalent to the porcelain coating that can be done at home or by a powder coater.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

No paint or powdercoat at all on the inside of the cookbox, it's bare aluminum from the sandblast booth. A garnet media was used.

You're correct, powdercoat doesn't stand up to the high temps the cookbox would endure so I use a proper high temp paint on the cookbox and cast lid side caps. The frame and shelf brackets etc were all powdercoated. About the only proper way to coat a kettle would be with a Ceramic coating, and its not cheap! It would cost a fair bit more than the kettle itself and you are quite limited on the possible finishes.
