I love Blueberries! Good on you @bear  for agenting this beauty!

Outstanding assist by @bear and congratulations to @Hogsy on scoring that gorgeous 1980 blue! I think the dark blue MBH's have become one of my favorite colors of the MBH era.

Amazing grill and amazing story. I hope I can snag one someday. C code is my Grail.

The lengths you guys downunder go to rescue kettles is amazing!

[Hogsy]

Spring has sprung in OZ so I've found some motivation to clean up my blue kettle. It's been a while since I've cleaned up a kettle and I forgot how therapeutic it can be
I started on the lid with these two tools



The usual caked on crud


After 15 minutes


Already looking like new, just needs wash down with some hot soapy water


The handle is in great shape just needs a light sand and to polish the vent




Pretty happy with how well the vent came up


Bowl and vents just need a clean, Polish and reshape


Forgot to get an after pic, but they came up as good as the lid
The ash pan is in good shape and just needed a clean and polish


Shiny


New wheels, cut and polish legs, removed rust from triangle and put back together


Back in the line up




Thanks again to @bear for agenting this, it's a great addition to my collection

Very cool good looking out @bear for a fellow WKC Member.

Looks grate @Hogsy. Love the blues line up.

Happy to assist where I can for a grillfella.

I reckon I might have had a hand in 2 blues in that line up. Is that the 18 you got from Adelaide a few years ago via the old Aussie BBQ Forum, I remember spotting one buried in a gumtree ad that Jars assisted with shipping?

[Hogsy]

Yes that's the one @bear, those blue 18's are as rare as rocking horse shit out here

[charred]

dig the blues!

[kettlebb]

I dig the blue also! Makes me want one. Do they change color when they get hot? Purple I guess?

Great score @Hogsy. And it is a backwards B to boot(or is the way the pictures come out down under). You just need to talk Jeff out of the only one in existence blue 26" so you have a blue trifecta. (http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2013/12/26/26-blue-kettle-flat-top/)

Great assist @bear.

The people in the WKC  really play well together.
