Nice job getting your Dad's kettle back on it's legs.  Great example of the WKC motto -  Rescue, Restore, Respect.

Great job on the RRR!
I'd be concerned about the galvanized steel junction box cover in my kettle.

AZ2FL thanks for the heads up about the zinc plated j box covers. It never crossed my mind, I know it can be nasty when welding. I did some research and looks like it does not give off fumes until 390F. I built a nice hot fire in another kettle and checked temp where legs attach and it was never more than 180F.  Still I think it best to either strip zinc off and paint w high temp paint or use another piece of painted steel.  Anyone else have thoughts on this?
