Blue 18 OTG restore/customized

[Chasing_smoke]

The other night I posted a pick of my blue 18 in the show your pit thread. I wasn't super happy with the finished product, so I went back to correct it today.

Here's the first attempt



It's cool but the ash ring got lost under the grill.

Here's attempt two that I'm very happy with!







Thanks for looking!

Hey, I really like that white! The hubcap goes well with the whitewalls.

Michael that looks great! The white really makes it pop.

Thanks guys! I'm really digging it. I went to lowes today and finally remembered I needed hubcaps as I had four bad ones on two grills. White was all they had in the correct size but I thought these are different and look cool. I used white bbq paint on the ring, it's not glossy but I dig the flat aspect of it. A few dark wooden Zandles and this one will pop for sure! I'm in love with the hinged grate, that little bit of extra cooking room makes a big difference on an 18.

Do we need a new rule that says you have to wear pants when you photograph a glossy kettle on a sunny day?

Hahaha! The last photo does look like your pants are non-existant.

What I do with my kettles is my own business Marty! Although I hear kettle reflection take off at least 50lbs and adds three feet... Pretty soon the Midwest and east coast boys won't be in shorts anyway so enjoy those reflections 😛

Hey Brian, thinking about wood when the guy has no pants on is, well, disturbing...
