By the way...this grill has a black triangle and one bowl handle...was this an econo kettle of the early 90s?
I think we (WKC members) call them Economy kettles but it would have been a Bar-b-Kettle per the WKC MT history thread. Yeah, sadly I took quite a few evidence photograph of holes like that in vehicles.
I woulda kept the bullet wound
Pretty sure it's still there beneath the washer covering the hole.
Is the gunshot through both sides of the bowl?
When
@crowderjd posted this on Facebook, there was no sign of an exit hole. Probably all of the bullet's energy was spent creating the entry hole. The mangled bullet was probably sitting in the bottom of the bowl, mixed in with ashes.
