What's Puckerbutt? It's a disorder that infects Smokey Joe's and Jumbo Joes much the same way that Caddywampusness infects full size kettles. The cure, offer $20 when they are asking $60 on CL. Apply a little dose of flathead Preparation S, a good bath and a rubdown, then decide what finish to order a new handle in (haven't done that yet) and voila. A cured SJP and a grail found for a great deal! Happy Ending all around.
This thing I think had more dust and grass clippings on it than anything. Maybe used 2 or 3 times. It's a DU code (2002) the grate has no rust. Of course it had a couple scratches on the front of the bowl from falling over (wonder why it fell over?) Oh and the lid bale and tuck n carry bar were attached wrong so you couldn't utilize the lid bale function. This came up Monday night, picked it up Tuesday. Offered $20 he said yes.
"It's in the back of my truck" well my grocery getter....
Garaged for disassembly and inspection... The legs being installed this way caused a dent in the bottom of the bowl..
After a quick bath and a reassembly I posed it with its red sister.
Cooked on it that night. Grilled it up BIG TIMES with some "steaky's"from Omaha Steaks that we got as an anniversary gift. No I didn't paint the inside of the bowl or bleach the grates.
Sorry forgot to take food pics.
