wow, I am continually stunned by the lengths of generosity our folks will go to to help a complete stranger. it's one of the things I love about this board. personal story- found "buddy" from a CL post here. after posting the score, got a pm from G offering an ash catcher for dirt cheap. not one to pass up a great deal, I jumped. w/in less than two weeks, just from this board, I went from no kettle to a converted logo kettle.
