I was doing my usual search on the boards last night and much to my surprise up popped a single picture of a brownie!
It was the first that I have seen in my area of the country in the two years that I have been involved.
The post was only 5 minutes old when I responded. The seller kindly updated the post to “pending” and we made arrangements for a pickup this afternoon.
As it turned out Bridgewater Virginia is a bit of a hike from Richmond (125miles). I figured what the hell...new year... vacation to burn, why not?
Took the half day and made the drive to the other side of Shenandoah Nation park.
I wasn’t disappointed. The kettle is in wonderful shape with some minor rim rash and one small porcelain pop. It had a new grate and she through in a bag of coal and some cedar planks to boot!
Five hour and 280 miles round trip and I had my first brownie. A good day on the hunt.

Nice score. I would have done the same. Enjoy!

Definitely worth it.
Me and a buddy drove 9 hour round trip for a Cado he wanted. I picked up a pk dutchess on the way.

Nice Chocolate there! I probably would have tried to get the seller to ship or get an agent if it were me. Good for you and nice score.

Well I finally got this one cleaned up! Planning to cook on it for the first time tomorrow.
How much time do you usually spend on a cooker?
While this was by no means a perfect restoration, I did spend several hours getting the crude off and putting in a new set of sweeps and handles.
Got to admit I love cleaning these up. Shouldn’t have waited so long!

That was definitely worth the drive,

@michaelmilitello I have a couple of Spice mixes I’m going to use with a yogurt based marinade for chicken. I’ve used both before and they are really good.
