Does anyone have a true grey kettle ?

[Idahawk]

I got this B a few years back and I thought I'd found a grey , but now I'm thinking its a really faded black .

I have a 1991 that's more of a silver color. I know that did make a true grey that's older than mine

Your welcome. I really like the grays. I wish they would make gray or at least a gray green or blue.

Yeah, that's a fade black.....

this is a close up of "Bob" my main smoker ~~~~>



His top is evenly faded all across like this....I think it's kinda neat........metal side handle, just like yours........

Do you have picture of it ? Please

I'll try and get a picture of it.  It's still sitting in a box, in my shed.....I really have no space.

I rehabbed a 'G' and an 'N' last year for two friends.  Here is a photo of the 'G' (I modded that ash can on there, and later put some Brian O'Neal (Zavod) handles on it to replace these horrible painted ones).

It's a 2006 SJG.

That '85 G looks sharp with that silver can blending with the grey fade.    Good fit!

I've got the kettle that came with my Seville/cart.  Unfortunately, it's completely rusted out, and I had to replace it with a black OTS.

Thanks for the picture , it's as I suspected what threw me off was the whole thing is that color , I would have thought that only the top would fade . Maybe someone used some chemical to clean it that ruined the finish or built a camp fire in it . Oh well it's still a B and I'm happy

Thanks, Craig!  Yeah, I was sad to see that one go.  But my friend loves it and cooks on it all of the time.  Rehabbing kettles for friends is a nice way to feed the addiction without filling up the yard.  ;-)

And Hawk, the gray vs. faded black debate is one that comes up regularly around here.  I decided this kettle was a true gray because it had the same color consistently all over the lid and bowl, and even under the rim of the bowl.  But there are a lot of blacks that look quite gray.  In any case, a B is a nice catch, and your whole collection is gorgeous.  Congrats.

I have two greys, one from the early 60's and the other is an 80's? i think?  I will try to post pictures when i get home.
