OK, now I'm confused (not new according to my wife). Harris92 posted a pic of three "Westerners", in that pic it appears that two of them are MLH's with different ashpans (one has a flattened rim, one has NO rim, but both have pop-rivet 'S' hooks -AND- straight ashpan cut-outs not twist-on cut-outs). A third kettle, however, has a wooden handle which suggests that it might be nearer to the '78-'79 timeframe than the first two. That third one appears to have a flattened rim ashpan like one of the MLH's, but fastens to the legs in the same way as the first two mentioned. None of them have twist-on style ashpans. BTW, all three are absolutely magnificent. Given that most of us move various components from one kettle to another from time to time, I guess my question is ... which of these options most accurately reflects "as built".
Possibly a moot point since damn few original pans exist for consumption by us SmokenJoe-come-lately's. SJ
EDIT: Somewhat less confused, on first inspection two of the ashpans appear to have flattened rims (on the far side), but closer inspection indicates that the pans DO NOT have flatness, more like photo shadows ... the leading edges look perfectly pitched. Answered my own question ... all three. Now I can get some Aluminum and start to shape a reflector
