Last but not least, my favorite black ssp is also complete. Unfortunately the plum didn't make the cut. Purchased the plum ssp with such an excellent condition frame and lid but somehow the bowl was a total mess. Was a hard decision but i just didn't feel confident in doing a proper restoration therefore i gave it away to one of our fellow wkc member who was willing to give it a new lease of life.
Overall, i feel relieved to finally get all 3 ssp's done. Time consuming and at times stressful working with a limited time frame. The reward though is priceless. Finally can relax and enjoy cooking. The only hard part is deciding which grill to use.
Total cost: $160
Frame/kettle $100, materials $35, fasteners $30.
Labor : 12 hours
Grand total for 3 grills: $485
Total labor: 28+ hours of hard labor under the summer sun.
Side panel on all 3 sides.
This would be my daily workhorse. Black in conjunction with the ss Caliente Argentinian style insert just looks the best by a large margin.
Thanks everyone for looking!
