Like I've said before, my kettle has been well used and seen better days. The one touch sweeper on my kettle seized up some time ago so I finally got a replacement for it and went to install it on Saturday but it went badly since the original one was all rusted together. I had to put some serious elbow grease into separating the rusted together parts to get it out and damaged the bottom of the kettle bowl in the process. It's a bit dented at the very bottom so the replacement sweeper doesn't lay flat and I can't join the ring and handle to the two prongs that come down through the hole from the sweeper blades. I might be able to pound out the dents and make it all fit together properly but I'm not sure. In any event, I was considering turning the kettle into a dedicated high temperature grill for using the Kettle Pizza since the enamel on the lid and bowl's been heat crazed by that already, so I may do that and leave the sweeper out. Lessons have definitely been learned about what parts are susceptible to rust and the required care and storage.
So, that leaves me needing a proper fully functioning kettle for normal cooking. I'm giving serious consideration to picking up a Master Touch instead of another One Touch Gold. I've already got a set of charcoal baskets, so what are people's opinions on the price difference for the gourmet grill system and the warming rack vs. a one touch gold which doesn't come with those?
