To start this, Kettle Karma has struck in the last week. First I secured a soon to be made public deal. It will go to a local member. Since securing that deal, I was blessed with a Sequoia. Then I Ms. O appears. She was listed as free! So Message sent. Reply sent with address. I left work and was literally back less than a 15 minute union break. Would have been sooner, had the owner had the grill in the driveway as they said they would. I go and retrieve the grill, see a nice silver B and a new 330. Owner tells me he just got the grill and is down sizing. I said I have a grill like your black one, nice grill. Get back to work, find out the Silver was listed for free too!. Dang, did not go back... Was happy with Ms. O. I thought I would share as here upper half is clean and her triangle is not, no pun intended... ;D.The handles will get a work over too.

One thing I noticed when cleaning Ms.O, compared to Mr. M, she is one of the "Economy" Webers. One handle, daisy wheels and black triangle kit. Porcelain seems thinner... I can tell the grill was used little, all vents are still tight. It has rust inside the bow and some inside the lid? What little I needed to clean with a razor blade, I could just feel it. Enough, a few pictures.




The Money shot. But let me first explain my love of this hobby. Noobs, be patient. Things will happen. We all have a grill and want others. They are not "Needs", be blessed first by those around you. Share this hobby to others and good things will happen.

Beautiful grey kettles.  And the Sequoia is well, it's a Sequoia so 'nuff said.  Great stuff, man.

Rasmussen!!  You kill me!  The Bride was sitting next to me wondering what was so funny that I was outwardly giggling.   ::)

Way to go on the clean up and great pics.  Nice score man!

By the way, that couple does have a baby, but he's sleeping in his crib now.  Shhh...    ;)

Beautiful! I've always thought those grey kettles were mostly N's, some M's but now we know they also came in P's. Can't beat free either.

Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Awesome score Greg!

Can you tell a color difference between the two?  Looks like they're slightly different.  Even cooler!
