New to me, anyway. It is an O code (1992) with a wood handle. I think it was used a few times and then set aside in the garage. At some point something got splashed on it that left it looking speckled.



That came off with a little scrubbing.

Good to see it cleanup so well Hank, glad you decided to keep it huh?
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Looks good Hank.   Good thing the original cooking grate came with it!
Kettle collector AND cooker!

Are the grates NLA? I didn't check to see if it matched the grate on my '74 18" kettle. I did try the old lid and it fit.

The lids fit but the grates don't , not sure if the new JJ grates fit the older JJ
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Hank. You think this will replace your CGA? Too bad you cleaned it. The rare speckled are worth more

That cleaned up good! The black JJ's are growing on me. Someday I hope to add one.

Looks great, Hank.  Some sweet kettle karma, too, since I know you thought you were picking it up for a Grillfella.  Glad you got to keep it after all.  Serves you right!  ;-)

No, I have a specific need for that one which I have not yet revealed. ;)

That cleaned up real well. When I first saw the splatters I reckoned the mess wasn't coming off.
I need to cook on one of mine one of these days.
