That looks nice!

That turned out really nice.  I like the contrasting colors of the handles too.  You did a good job with the rust around the handle on top.  Can't even tell in the close up pic where you painted it...how did you go about that part of it?

Hey G$ or anyone with a newer 26 what's the height difference between this and a 22.5? Is the 26 taller by much?  I've grown used to lower profile a smaller kettle has but any extra would be nice.

My MasterTouch measured 29" to the top of the bowl lip.  The 26er measured 32.25" in the same manner.

I just cleaned it and then hit t with some oil. 

I was prepared to spray it with black bbq enamel which I have found matches the jet black perfectly and have used to paint handles before, but since it was not very visible, I opted to leave it for now.  Rusting here is not too much of an issue, and to be honest, the next handle change on this guy, if there is one, will be to remove and remount one any way.  For now though, we are good to go.
