I had to sell off some of my non Weber grills to fund this project and get my Ivory. I had many exciting ideas but did not quite work out the way I envisioned. Still, I got few really nice kettles out of this so I am happy with the result.
Continuing from my build spoiler Topic.
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/my-upcoming-'special-edition'-build-spoiler/ First up is the Copper. I bought the Copper shell and decided to make it a respectable cooker using all new parts. In the process, I tried few different design cues to represent retro kettle.
New legs, triangle, wheels and bowl handles went on. They may get changed later.
Different style handles.
How about with this ash pan. or like this representing 70's MBH kettle.
More stock look At this point, legs fully inserted as no changes will be made on the bot. section.
New ash swiper assy. and new grates on.
Thermo deleted and the holes plugged for that retro clean look.
In the end, I decided to stay close to stock Euro spec kettle. I might even put back the taco shell.
I will continue with Green and Ivory when I get a chance. Thanks for looking.
