Craigslist mistake?

[mattlillis73]

Picked up a cheap kettle for 20 bucks. think I should have left it on Craigslist. I think it might be too far gone. I need everybody's help to determine what to do with this thing.

Does it wobble? If not, use it as is. If it wobbles because a leg socket weld is loose you should reinforce it. This thread should help you: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/my-socket-repair/

It needed to be rescued and you were there to do it! Fix the leg socket using gummies link and you should be good to go!

Looks good to me...scrub her down and loght the chimney...dont worry about the rust in the sockets.thats on the pther side of the kettle firebox.

Interesting, I did not see that on craigslist at all.

Socket repair is no big deal, you can find new vents, they are the same that they use on the 22 WSM.

It's gotta be pretty bad for a $20 outlay to be a mistake. That there is fine.

Nice paint job! waste of $20!

cut the legs off, and make it a Weber Redneck firepit and put it back on cl and recoup your cash!

For $30!

just sayin'

At the very least you have a good kettle lid you could use on a Ugly Drum Smoker or as I do, use it to cover what I'm cooking over our campfire to trap heat and smoke.
