Due to space constraints have been using a 22" WSM with added middle charcoal grate for most of my cooks. Picked up a used Weber rotisserie recently and have been using that on the WSM as well. Of course the WSM lid doesn't exactly fit the Weber Rotisserie. A Cajun Bandit roti is not in the budget, so have been looking for a cheap kettle to donate a lid for the rotisserie. The other day a $20 kettle popped up on FB and it was only a few miles from work. Pic was close up and blurry so really couldn't tell much other than it was a black 22. I stopped on way home which turned out to be after 6:00. With time change it was dark in his driveway. Not the greatest neighborhood and for $20 wasn't going to spend a lot of time inspecting it. I saw it had wood handles on lid and bowl, so told him I would take it, put it in the car and headed home. Turns out to be an "F" code from 1984. Twist on ash pan. Lid has some rim rash and a decent sized scratch on the top opposite the vent but overall will be a pretty nice cooker. I did an initial cleaning on the lid last night. Will disassemble everything else and clean up over the winter. Didn't exactly strike gold, but it was a fun pickup and certainly unexpected. Funniest part is that the guy was trying to sell it as "like new" and told me he only used it twice.
