No legs...

And, no leg sockets!!

I saw this ad back in March.
It was kinda far away...
But my brother who lives much closer was gracious enough to accept my request to pick it up.

MBH kettles are not common up here in Canada.
And I was intrigued by this, especially the second pic where I spotted the ash pan.
I knew that I had spare legs, wheels, and a triangle in my boneyard.
The reason I mention this is, I was not aware that there were no leg sockets.  ???  :o

I just got my hands on it this past weekend. On to the pics.
















I did not fret as I have this stand that I fabricated 10-12 years ago for...
You guessed it. A kettle firepit!! Problem solved.




There's a thread somewhere that I posted about the time I made it.

I have been in the kettle rescue game for 13 years now, I will continue to live by the motto that there are no bad rescues. This is a perfect example.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

I found the thread in which I made the stand.
Thankfully PhotoPhucket didn't trash the pics.
I updated the last part when I made a stand for an 18" bowl.
