I have a little rule I like to maintain.  A new kettle comes in and something has to go.  I want to keep this little guy.  Big decision coming soon.  Thanks for looking.

Awesome job on the cleanup. I know what it use to look like too. I regret not getting it when I had a chance cuz I coulda done something with it since I just picked up an 18.5 WSM. But you pimped that bad boy out.

Still have it.  No desire to sell it though.  Every now and then I take off all 3 covers and stare at it for a bit.  Cooked Ribs on it on the 4th.

@JayCee  I passed on one about 5 years ago and regretted ever since.  When the guy changed the CL listing to 18" (probably after you looked at it) I called immediately and got lucky cuz he said no less then 10 guys called after me.  Luckily no one high balled me.

A new kettle comes in and something has to go.

Does a chimney count?

Nice clean up.  Looks like a fun grill. I had no idea these existed in 18". Is the plastic dipped ash catcher handle standard or did someone do that?

I painted it.  Thought it looked cool.
