Admittedly this kettle wasn't in bad shape to begin with especially for a 21 year old (EO). I found this 18" Red kettle locally for $12 and couldn't pass it up. I left everything original except the ash catcher and leg cap. It cleaned up nicely and I can use it as overflow for apps & sides when my performer grill runeth over.  8)

















My Performer (AA) with Santa Maria attachment cooking some costco prime grade tri-tip over red oak...it don't get better than that gents...

I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

   Thats "Purdy" that sucker is damn near immaculate. The more I leer at these pics the tighter my pants get. Any 18" colored kettle I find would automatically become a looker I'm sorry but they dont exist in the DC area.

Congrats. That thing was a steal, especially for being in that nice shape.

Tri-tip and corn looks great too.

Always nice to have any 18" around, but a Redhead in that condition with nice 3 wooden handles is double the pleasure.   

What did you say you paid for it ...  That is almost a give away.  Nice score!

Santa Maria on your main cooker is nice too.

What a great find.  Lucky the police didn't stop by because you stole that.  Lol
