My First Collectible(For me anyway)
« on: October 12, 2014, 01:55:34 PM »
Well with some help form a grillfella who grabbed this for me, I finally have what I consider, the first non everyday kettle to add to my small collection. Being a bourbon lover this was a perfect score. originally I was just expecting a plain ol black OTS 18.5 when it was posted on CL as a freebee. After it was picked up I found it was a logo kettle. Best part of that for me is that it is a Jack Daniels kettle.

The original owner had used the ash catcher as a charcoal plate so I have a new one coming along with a new charcoal and hinged cooking grate. This will be a regular cooker when I want the smaller kettle. A few pics...

Signature shot!

Have wood handles being stained and finished and they will go on and give it a bourbon flair.

Resize your photos - they bloat the screen something fierce.

Congratulations! Looks very good and you can't beat the price, If I could have Weber make my dream logo kettle it would be a green with a Jameson logo, Jack Daniel's is perfect for a black one

Brian made some really cool jack Daniels handles for a friend of mine who's a big jack fan. I'll try to find pics. Congrats you should make a gold out of it.

Wow, I just have to get a set of those handles. Any chance of getting a set made Brian?

Yep yep, skip the ash catcher plate and convert it to a Gold instead as the cost difference isn't that much.   And add those Jack handles.

I have the same one, NIB with a bunch of JD handles Brian made for me from JD barrel staves that I gave him. Nice grill.

And for those that don't know, JD ain't no bourbon. It's Tennessee whiskey. Big difference between the two.
