Wood Handles Restored
« on: December 02, 2016, 07:01:21 PM »
I sanded these handles, stained with Minwax Pecan and applied 3 coats of Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane. My first Red Kettle, EI 1997, she had a rough life, born with a short leg as seen here http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/introducing-eileen/msg247875/#msg247875







:(





And the color change on first fire up

Ill assume the hot dogs are in another thread.

Seriously though you done a fine job restoring them, although I thought they looked pretty good in original condition.

Oh hell yeah!  You grill turns dark red when hot like mine does!  My 96 does the same thing.  You should see how dark it gets when I make pizza.  It usually dark and I haven't gotten a picture of it in daylight when I have the Kettle Pizza cranking at 700.  I'll have to add that to my 371 item to do list thanks to this site!

Handles look awesome.  That grill looks brand new.

Your handles turned out great... I really like to restore the old wooden ones if they're still in ok condition.

Those handles look great, and that's a beautiful redhead!
Love the color change on a red.

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...
