1969 22″ Avocado Kettle “The Caribbean”

Pictured here is a beautiful condition, patent pending, 22″ avocado kettle featuring metal bowl handles, twist on ash pan, gun metal blue color inside the lid and bowl, and steel wheels with rubber tread. This grill is owned by WKC member Jeff and was purchased locally from Craigslist. The seller it was purchased from said the grill was left behind by a prior homeowner. It was left in his storage shed with a few other items. This grill has gone through a mild restoration to the legs, triangle, and steel wheels. The kettle lid and bowl are near perfect with the exception of a chip around one of its leg sockets. The wood top handle has been replaced with one of Brian’s amazing creations.
