Saw this posted today was very dirty in picks thought it was black at first one pick looked a little green so I contracted seller he confirmed it was green so agreed on a price and ran over to pick it up turns out he bought it in Texas originally moved to Washington and ended up buying a trager and was no longer using it but he had kept a cover on it since new it even has the original wire charcoal baskets in really good shape after getting home and doing quick initial clean up it had a great layer of carbon build up and grease that scraped off so easy it was amazing and pretty much no rust except on the outside of the bowl where the porcelain has poped where the grate holders are welded to the bowl but not bad so after I have to say this is in the best shape of the 4 SS performers that I have come across and it has the original SS ash sweeps in great shape to I was going to clean it up and sell it but now I'm thinking I may need to hang on to it since I don't have any other green kettles I think I'm up to 23 kettles now you don't think that's to much do you? Here are a few pics it's not all back together yet first pic from the ad second pic is dirty right out back of car after I got home

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...
