My '79 Cooker (the Happy one!) is getting upgraded with multiple add on accessories. All stainless steel is being selected. The photos will tell the story.
The items are charcoal baskets, warming rack, charcoal grate, and GBS grate. Also note an idea I got on another forum, to place 2 charcoal grates in the kettle in a cross pattern, to help prevent smaller pieces of lump coal from falling through.
Also, another round of cleaning has been completed on the Cooker Kettle. About 95% of the carbon build up (40 years worth!) has been dug off, scraped off, chiseled off, sand papered off...you get my drift. If you look close, the damage from 40+ years of neglect is evident.
