I know, I know - it's not a blackie, but when you see a brownie this nice, resistance is futile. This one showed up at the Mid Atlantic meetup, and I managed to trade a few things for it with my SIL. Minor cleanup done. She's a beaut!
Love kettle reflections!
Handle is in good shape, but I was surprised to find it was not riveted. It has little threaded inserts in the lower section, and two screws up top. Definitely factory-made. Is this a common variation of the two-rivet design?
Might be my favorite vent design, and it matches my other '76/'77.
Of course, the reason I wanted this color kettle was to show off my NIB kabob set. (Thanks to Jeff!)
Those skewer handles with the black ring and brown fade lid are a match made in heaven.
Now that's one proud Brownie!
Ready for action. Yes, I will use this setup on special occasions.
So black is beautiful, but this gorgeous Weber kettle has earned its place in the family.
