Stumbled across some fruit in Texas...
« on: April 29, 2015, 03:40:11 PM »
Dont get your hopes up. Its fruit, its not my favorite, kettle or the real fruit.

PLUM OTS, DU (2002) on the vent.

Decent shape. Original grates, one touch still works, couple small chips in the bowl.

I'll take it though. *sighs*

Isn't Texas the land of only black kettles? If that's so then that's a great find!
Looks great!

Thats the sad part. Texas is the land of the black kettle.

There are fruits here. They are well hidden.

One of my favorite kettle kolors! Some day it'll be a "grail" because of the obscurity if nothing else.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

That kettle is just begging for a MT bale and OTG ashcatcher! Nice score.

It'd look especially nice with some Zavandles!
