Red Kettle Score
« on: June 16, 2018, 01:51:25 PM »
Hello All,

I just picked this Red Kettle for free from someone I pass overtime I go to my parents house.  The kettle is rough as can be and needs some major love and care, but I will be able to get her cooking again.

Nice save!
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

That kettle looks great! It'll look better when the leg sockets are attached to the kettle.

Yes it will. It also looks like I will be looking for the older style ash catcher and sweeps.

Here are a few more pictures of the kettle, before I start to clear it and start one getting it back to cooking.

The first picture is after I wiped of the lid with a wet rag.

Beautiful! You bolt them back on or more exotic fix?

I bolted them back on, now I need to find the old OTS cleaning system and ash catcher.  the sweeps were beyond saving and the ash catcher was no where to be found.
