Yes, the speckled came in a box marked SJ-200 which is the model # for an Avocado Smokey Joe. The box also has "Smokey Joe Avocado" written on it. Don't know what the "MT" means. I did know it was speckled before I bought it.

I really like that speckled. It reminds me of camping cookware.
What era were they making these with that style of handle, and when was it changed to the current style?

1960's thru early 1970's. The handle changed from offset around 1974.

Quote from: Darko on June 04, 2016, 04:18:08 PMOh you didn't know. @harris92 is actually from 2092. He's a time traveler who goes back to the 60's, buys these beauties off the shelf, then comes to 2016 to taunt the ever living crap out of the rest of us.
Nice score.

At least that's the only logical explanation I can come up with for this man's collection. My theory will be proven when he proudly announces the acquisition of a NOS Bouy Kettle.

He does not find them. They find him.
The thought that Harris was a time traveler did occur to me till I found out that he is fact part of "The Family". Seems he has been designated as the Keeper Of The Flames or some such thing. Whenever highly collectible Kettles are found the folks just know that it is best to send them to him for safekeeping and posterity.
I like the world with that amazing collection down in Georgia.

Rumor has it @harris92 developed a global surveillance program that is dedicated to monitoring the sale of vintage and rare Weber's. It is now used by the NSA for something different.

So I believe @harris92 has 2 daughters and has stated that some of his treasures will be passing down to them, courious if any members will be nudging their sons to move to Atlanta area in a few years to court his girls just to get a shot at his collection. :)
