Thanks to Idahawk, Im the cat that got the canary...
« on: July 09, 2015, 05:03:17 PM »
Soooo...

I'm surfing my favorite forum, and I get a PM that there is a yellow kettle on CL in my vicinity...

Huh ?... How'd I miss that ?

It's listed under "Kettle style bbq".

Anyways... a few emails... yadda yadda... 20 minute drive...

And this is what I got for $35.





The lid is in great condition for its age, and the bowl is pretty good despite some scratches in the finish.

So Thanks Idahawk, as they say in Boston, I owe you a bee-yah.

that looks great!!

A bit banged up in the bowl, but at least it has character instead of just a bunch of random chips

$35 ?!? You essentially bought a reasonably priced twist on ash pan and got a YELLOW 22 for FREE!  :o :o ;D 8) Fantastic score!

Very cool of you @Idahawk - lets hope lady karma takes this into consideration on the next kettle adventure ;)

Thanks for all the replies.

The guy I bought it from told me it had been in the family since new and had belonged to his late Father.

It was his Dad's pride and joy.

I told him I would get it cleaned up and restored and fire up a rib-eye in memory of his Dad.

He did'nt even know it was a Weber.

So, I guess it's good that I did'nt wear my yellow WKC t-shirt.

Very nice catch.  That's gonna be a great cooker, you can tell just by looking at her.

@Idahawk  may the HC Gods smile down on you for your assistance.     SJ
