From 0 to 3 Kettles in Four Days, Thank You Craigslist

[AZRaptor]

Over the last four days I've been pretty lucky to pick up my first kettles. All three of these came from Craigslist.

2005 Gas Assist SS Performer - $100



2004 Smokey Joe Silver w/ 10lb bag of Kingsford - $12

This is destined for my Mini WSM project.



70s/80s Smokey Joe w/ 10lb bag of Kingsford - $10

There are no markings on this one so I guess there's no way to nail down an exact date.

you're off to a great start.

Very nice. That SS Performer looks sweet. The SJ without the stamp on the vent is pre 80's. Just how old it is....wait for Craig or Buckie to get here....but that handle looks damn nice and the grates point towards it being unused.

You are on a roll!

[Fishawn]

Sweet! Better check CL in the morning..... Nice scores!

[1911Ron]

Good start!

[Josh G]

Great job!  That performer looks really clean

[OoPEZoO]

Wow, thats a clean performer.  Nice score.

[Jack Fate]

Nice performer I'd gave $200 for it

[GregS]

Great finds, that 2nd sj looks pretty old.

[toolhead]

Thats a beautiful ss performer...like a 65 convertible mustang...wow

[AZRaptor]

Great finds, that 2nd sj looks pretty old.

1buckie suspected the 2nd SJ is a '73~'78

If I can ever find a tamale pot that fits my lids right I may try making my Mini WSM cook chamber and use it with Ole Smokey since it has three lower vents instead of the one on the SJS.
