Picking this up today, my first black kettle.

I'm picking this one up after lunch today. Looks clean in the picture but it looks like the legs are on wrong?

Good deal.  Easy fix..  and so.... these come in colors???  Hehe
Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

Didn't take pics on pickup day. We were getting soaked with rain. Putting her to work tonight after a very brief razor scrape job.



I think they were resting the hot lid on the handle.

I really like that OTG. It's the last of the classic looking kettles before they started extending and taco'ing the handles. .

Agree. The original plan was to dedicate it to pizza but looking at it on the back patio tonight, I don't want to beat it up like that. The simple classic design in black. She's a great cooker.

Agreed. A nice set of handles on her down the road and she'd be a daily cooker for sure. Nice job [emoji106][emoji106]

I agree @Travis.  The wood handles make all grills look amazing, but there is something especially sharp about a super clean black kettle with a medium toned wood handle.

Post a pic if you add new grips.
