Yachtsman trash find!
« on: August 03, 2019, 01:53:40 PM »
Got a text from my wife this morning... she found a Yachtsman on the curb... the kicker? She stopped and put it in the trunk!  Its going to be a project, but this kettle will definitely cook again.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

She is definitely a keeper to stop and pick up a Yachtsman on the curb!  Congrats! I also look forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Interested in seeing how you deal with the elongated hole and missing grate strap.

Whoa! That before pic looks like it was used as a heat shield on a space capsule re-entry.

Great save!
