Hello everybody,
my name is Sebastian and I´m from Southern Germany.
Since 2011 I own a Weber Spirit S 320 Gas Grill and I really love it!!!
Last week I had the chance to buy a red 1992 Weber Master Touch kettle (I think in the USA this is the One Touch Gold Model).
When I saw the first pics I felt in love and I knew that I need to have it !!
So I went to Zurich (Switzerland) and bought this wonderful Red Beauty for 70€ (about 95$).
Here are some pics of it:
The kettle was not used for the last 9 years. The pre-owner already cleaned it very well but there are still some things to do on the outside.
The triangle and the top vent are a bit rusty.
Also the legs and the ash bin (what is the correct word for that?
) are not shiny, they are matte (non-glossy) and the surface feels very rough.
I hope you understand my english
For sure the rest of the kettle is in pretty good shape and this is nothing that disturbs the grilling result but in this case I am a bit perfectionist.
But I don´t want to destroy anything or get even more rust after excessive cleaning.
Do you have any ideas for me how I could polish all that stuff without harming the rest (the emaille of bowl and lid is perfect and I don´t want to risk anything).
I´ve found some threads here about cleaning and removing rust but there always products used I wouldn´t get in Germany !!!
So maybe there is something easier I could do.
Thanks very much and have a nice weekend,
Sebastian
