Doing my 10th or 12th daily CL search today... There she is! Took a little over a year.

Immediately responded to the add, but it's a land line. No text. Went to email. No go. Grayed out. Add says first come, first served, and il at work.  Texted a friend, that loves my cooking, but thinks I'm crazy. Promisised a steak, and he's on his way. Several nervous, unanswered texts later... He responds. It's mine! Little rougher than the pics make it look, but I have a blue! Talking to Brian about a handle. Can't wait to get her cooking!

For those that don't know, I have a black OTP in pretty good shape. Gonna take what I need from one, and keep the blue. Gonna use the ash ring and pan on my Target copper. Everyone here has been so helpful, so the rest will be given away.

Congrats on the Blue!!!  Patience does pay off in the end. Of course, it's really hard to be patient when you finally find what you're looking, but not secured yet.

@Shoestringshop is looking for a couple lower trim panels if you're not needing them. Here's a link to his post: WTB Side Panel With Insert any color

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

I'm a red person myself, but I've restored a blue and it was hard to let go of it.  The blues are mesmerizing.  Congrats.

I know reds, cados and yellows are more rare. Blue is my favorite color though. When I found this hobby, I didn't know there was anything but black. Soon as I found this place, a blue has been my target. A C code blue MBH is my Grail.
