Fantastic find should clean up nice

Has anyone tried heating then freezing to remove dents? There's a trick I've seen on YouTube to remove dents using a can of compressed air (for cleaning computer products) and a hair dryer.  Here's a link.

Too many grills and too little time! Looking for a  BLUE GENESIS GASSER! Will pay a bounty!

You'll be prone to cracking the porcelain if you try this at enough scale to get the metal to expand into shape.

That Cado will clean up amazingly well. Nice score.

If it was plain steel, or even paint I would consider it. But with a kettle you're looking at a porcelein coating. Not flexible at all. Been there done that.

I'm relatively new at this so it was more of an "has anyone tried this"  than an actual suggestion.  I probably wouldn't attempt this on a vintage either but it might be something to try on a newer black model

That little beauty will clean up nicely. Can't wait to see the before and after pics I love the 18's, they're a must have for smaller cooks.
