My latest purchase







Lots of potential here, the ash catcher and sweep were loose, lots of gunk in the bowl.

Will post restore pics when finished.

Nice pick up! Some new handles a bath can't fix! Is the thermometer missing?
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work
This is my Kettle there are many like it but this one is mine......

If your ash handle & nut are in decent shape, I have a set of sweeper blades available.  And a thermometer.

Hoping to send this shit to someone who NEEDS it, not just to HAVE it.

Can't wait to see the restored photos.
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!

LightningBoldtz you got some high standards if that's your idea of "rough." I couldn't see any dents or beauty marks on the metal .. the other issues are cake.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

That's really nice, LB. Getting it into tip top condition should be a breeze.

I don't this this grill saw a covered day in 20 years.  All the parts look salvageable, it has a few dings on the lid, it needs a thermo but with a little effort she should be looking nice.

The lid it pretty faded I have seen the pam trick on some, is that just for show until it wears off?

Don't get me wrong, she has a lot of potential and with a little elbow grease I am going to have her shining again.

I can't wait to post pics for you.
