Possible kettle honeyhole
« on: March 17, 2018, 08:22:46 AM »
Hey all.  I went up to the materials reclamation center north of Duluth today for the first time.  Grills and other stuff are no longer picked up by the garbage truck, so that stuff gets dropped off.  Anything usable is put in the reuse area and can be taken for free.  You are limited to one visit per day and can only take two items at a time.  I was a bit early, but a woman I talked to said with the warmer weather, they will soon have more grills than they know what to do with.  Should be interesting picking this year.  Stay tuned.

I found 11/16 of a black MBH (big tabs) in a scap pile today.

The lid, wheels and cooking grate didn't make it out...

You have crazy timing, Larry.  I was just about to dig up that thread and update, but here we are.  Your idea worked like a charm!  There is still a slight side bend on one side due to the indented lid, but the handle fits fine on the lid strap. With my Dad's help, we horsed the bowl strap into shape as well.  The landfill picking will be like Christmas every time I go up there, I'm hoping.

Now my wife is going to want to know why we are heading up there for a "vacation".

Unfortunately our landfill will not allow it. If it touches the ground, you can't take it home.

Here you go @bladz. Go nuts.  If you find an 18 Cado, I call dibs.

@Grillagin I would never infringe on your new found honey hole. But if you need someone to help you look for that Cado or anything else at the site I'd be more than willing to join you for the day!  Of course the week that I'm on vacation. Too far to drive to Duluth for a day trip. [emoji6]
