Yes I still have the handle but don’t have the metal piece and thermometer. Thanks for showing the the pics I will have to drill I and put the screws through it like you did. Is there a site that I can order the metal piece and thermometer. The next question is the bottom of the kettle. I’m probably going to leave since there is really no way smooth out the dings and metal parts. If I was able to smooth out the undercarriage I would think about painting it but I think it looks good with the character. All three legs are still solid but one spot is coming off I will upload pictures. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it. Love other thread you referenced with the work you did on your kettle it’s awesome.
