Picked this 1984 imperial wagon up over my lunch hour today. I have been into the MBH kettles but it is pretty tough to pass up this $25! Also not pictured is the biggest bad ass cast iron pan that I swear exists. Pretty good 45 min today!

Awesome find. I have never seen one of those before. Is that the grill that comes with it or did you add that in?

Overall is pretty decent shape. The lid is has seen better days but hey it just adds to the character. Found this online Thursday night....had to work Friday and since my factory rep was in town no way to leave for an hr when the sale started....
So I declined the offer for a free lunch and drove 15 min to the sale with pretty low expectations as it had been there for 3hrs at this point....
Walked in and looked on the deck....nothing....went to go downstairs and I was literally following the oldest and slowest man that is still alive down the stairs....half way down the stairs I can see out the walkout sliding doors and there it was....5 min later I finally made it to the bottom and around the man to claim the grill.
I am sucker for sales so kept walking around and found this pan....I guess it's not cast iron just a big ass steel pan....
Check out the pic of it inside the grill with no handle....I hope this thing works as good is it looks inside a kettle. I am going to fry some fresh South Dakota Walleye in it on a kettle tonight...I will report back on that.
Can't wait to restore this over the winter!

A friend of mine has a skillet like that one that he found at his late fathers cabin in Kentucky. I think his is carbon steel. Yours looks like carbon steel as well maybe. Either way, very cool.

I found a pan like that at a garage sale. It looked like it had never been used & was just steel. I assumed it was supposed to be "decorative" because that handle is ridiculously long for actual use. Also the one I saw had a strange looking finish on it that made me think it might not be suitable for food preparation, so I passed on it.
