Im in the doghouse again....but its worth it.  I just acquired this 26" Patent Pending BAR-B-QUE Kettle today.  Seller said he got this from his father and that it has seen a lot of use over the years but it seems to have been well cared for and included a newer cooking and charcoal grate.  Should clean up nicely.

you are such a bad boy Stu...maybe the significant other will give you a good paddlin'!

Nice find!

That is a super score, G! Looks very clean! Very jealous right now. Are those metal wheels?

Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Great rescue. What's the date code? Can't wait to see the restored pics.

(Pay no attention to the number of my posts next to this one - although Hell Fire Grill may have been involved...)

thanks all....this was on a local CL listing.
@ Jeff- :o

@ Craig-They are metal wheels

@pbe-I thought it was painted at first but after a closer inspection, I dont think it is.  It appears that some of the enamel is worn away in areas causing the dull black look.

@ Duke-$40

There are also holes in the leg sockets where a thumbscrew would typically be but they look strange.  Im thinking this was a mod by the previous owner to cure wobbly legs.

Duke

Thanks Stu, $40 was my guess. You stole it! There isn't even ny rust around the top handle. :)
