I need some awesome pics of abused kettles.
Ones that have been left out, snowed on, rusted through, smooshed, turned into planters, etc

Another good one. The "Roached Westerner". Too bad you couldn't save it.

Rescued just last week. The bowl was a planter and still has 100lbs of frozen soil in it!

Yeah, I knew you guys would like this one. SIL asked me if Weber ever made a white grill because he saw one at a house they were working on. :o By the look on my face he knew there was something special about it! I asked him to snap a few pics of it whenever they got back over there to work on the house. Well he did better than that. The owner sold it to him, and it was sitting in my garage when I arrived home from work.

@Hogsy, you are correct. If anyone can move some of the past comments about this white grill into a new thread that I will start, @Troy can get the feedback he is looking for on abused grills.
My apologies @Troy. I saw your thread topic, and thought it would be a great place to show a truly abused kettle. Sorry again. :(

Any idea what happened to this thing? The rusted out cracks/lines in the porcelain are strangely geometric.

Crowderjd-
The "meat parts" kettle is not mine. It is something I found locally. Surprisingly, it was seen just sitting out in the guy's yard two winters ago. We had just gotten a blizzard, so there was literally a 18" tall pile of snow on top of the lid. Didn't see the meat-parts, but saw the color and stopped to make a cold-call.
The guy was really nice, but didn't want to sell (or trade) it. We brushed it off so I could see it better and I almost fell over! Since speaking with him about it, the grill is now being kept inside a garage, but I believe he still uses it from time to time.
Just in case anyone is interested... YES, I have spoken with him on multiple occasions about selling or trading it, and he won't. (doesn't mean I'm going to quit trying though...)
