I found this on CL in Wisconsin for $40. Called a bbq friend here in FL who called his bbq friend in WI who promptly secured it for me. He took it to another bbq team at a contest in Green Bay who I would be seeing in Lynchburg TN at The Jack 3 weeks later. That was last week and i finally got to start cleaning on it today. I really like these mbh and thumbscrew kettles! This one has aftermarket wheels, so I am on the hunt for those. It also came with a twist on ash, and I think
@harris92 said it should be a clip pan. If anyone has a cooker quality one for sale lmk please. I like the way the front bowl handle is not in line with the front leg. I like the square tab. I like that they're slightly heavier than today's kettles. The closest I can tell on its age is 1962, which makes it my oldest and also my birth year kettle. Lastly take a look at the triangle. It has been constructed wrong. Anyone seen that before?
Vents are stuck but it shouldn't be a problem to free them up.
Solid leg sockets all around.
Finally a Wood Dale. Love the square tab.
Love the misaligned handle. I've seen this before, maybe it's by design?
Check out this unique triangle. Someone messed up that day
