1988 “K” Mothership Ranch Kettle RRR & Mods
« on: March 15, 2020, 02:39:17 PM »
This looked worse, but cleaned up nicely.
Replaced the original wheels, wood handles, cleaned up all the vents and applied new fasteners. The grates are in great shape.
I recalled a lid holder mod and found the post from sixzerofour and winz’s Slide Aside mod. I was a doubter on that but ate my words and followed their lead.
I’m 6’2” tall and wasn’t keen about stopping over this so I got some conduit and made another set of legs that raised it 6” - never fear I kept the original legs!
Happy with the results -

Nicely done!

If you want to clean up the triangle I recommend some evapo rust and a cheap kiddy swimming pool. :p

Surprised you didn’t paint it red. 🤣

Seriously though, nice restore!
