"I see
dead people, er, I see kettles needing rescue". Have yet to start the restoration on any of my recent rescues, and still I seem to be unable to stop seeing kettles that need to be brought back to the
"force". I just picked up a rapidly fading black 26" w/ a MBH.
I'm guessing from the vent that it's a '78. It's sound of limb, bowl, and lid. Now the bad news, it's charcoal grate is quite rusty (but usable) but it's cooking grate is missing
Somewhere, herein, I remember that the older 26r cooking grates were smaller that the current 26 grate (or vice versa). Should I start a restoration on this beautiful old beast, or is there no hope of finding the correct cooking grate. My hope is to restore and cook many many meals on her

7/1/15 Adding some pics as requested. She needs more attention than I thought, but still got great bones

Couldn't find the ash catcher
Working on a cooking grate with
@indy82z and measured the top inside diameter at 26", 25" at the grate location. Looks like a '78, want to get her cleaned up for cooking. Who stole my whitewalls ... SJ
