I don't know what else to say except I feel like one of the luckiest guys in the world!
Like many of us, I've wanted a yellow for years now. Ever since I started collecting really.
So a little while ago
@harris92 reached out to me about a trade. I let him know I was interested in a yellow and low and behold he presents me with Yellow Kettle Royalty!
This fine grill was
@pbe gummi bear kettle, and featured on the WCK homepage. Needless to say I couldn't be more excited to have this grill in my collection! The idea that I've got a rare kettle so steeped in club history, touched and restored by the one and only gummi, blows my mind.
I've cooked on it twice now, and I've got to say I love more each time. This will become my daily cooker, and I can't express how honored I feel to have this grill.
On to the pictures
No real cleaning needed on this one!

I didn't add to many pics, because, well someone's already done it better!
Here's the link to gummi's incredible photo shoot.

Yellow is my favorite color, maybe my favorite grill color as well. I love the limes but yellow is so great....

Love this post!
I would love to see a thread with a sticky titled, Awesome Trades". This is one of the best trades of vintage grills I've seen.

I think this one has found its forever home, sorry...
AWESOME grill and story. This is what makes me proud to say I'm a member of the WKC. I've only been here a short time compared to a lot of members here and it just amazes me to see the great things members do for each other, Royalty indeed.
Congrats WNC! What a beautiful grill, and I'm glad you got it! Seems like a win win for everyone!
Nice!
