My first 18, hopefully

Grillagin · January 12, 2018, 05:03:12 PM

Hey all. I found this older 18 on CL, and have been playing text tag with the seller about getting it shipped to me. I'd like it to be another color, but whatever. I have been looking for an 18" cooker for a while, and this one should clean up fine. Some Zav handles will be next, should this deal go through.

Good luck! As a CSU alum I will say that is an epic CL write up!

I assured him it would be going to a loving home.

That's a gorgeous blue 18". Good luck man. They don't pop up every day.

Pretty sure that is black, but nab it anyway. Nine bucks? I've spent that much on coffee in a day.

18's are great cookers, hope you get it.

What a deal, and I love the write up! Good luck!!

Shes got a really cool Speckled/Weathered/Salt & Pepper look to her.

When you pick her up please add her to the Rescue Mission thread.

Ha! I emailed that guy earlier in the week just to tell him that, although my wife would kill me if I bought another kettle, I LOVED his CL add. @Normal_J_Bird It's good to know there's another CSU alum here. Fight on, you stalwart Ram! @Grillagin If you need any help securing or shipping it just let me know. I live about 20 min. away from Loveland.

Thanks, Jed. I wish everyone was as easy to deal with as you. He has my offer, but I'm still waiting to hear back. I hope it works out. I've been wanting a pre-OT 18. I'll give you a shout if he or I need a hand.

The deal has stalled a bit. Shipping may be a stumbling block with the seller. PM sent to Jed for some local assistance. Much thanks, Jed, if it works out!

Success! @Jed.cook was finally able to snag her for me. The seller was a strange one to deal with, for both of us. Can you post the pics you sent me Jed? I do love the weathered finish. @MikeRocksTheRed is helping out with shipping. Thanks guys! Next will be a deep clean and new Zav handles.

I'm doing what??? LOL. Sorry, I just get so many messages between here and my facebook group that I lose track sometimes. Can you PM me @Grillagin and remind me what I'm doing for you! LOL.

Ha! My fault, @MikeRocksTheRed. I mentioned to @Grillagin that you might have an extra box lying around that I could use to ship his new 18. I was also going to hit you up for some tips on packing kettles for shipping. That's what he's refering to.
