Thanks all. One thing I wish I would have done is ask the story behind it. I contacted the seller yesterday right after it posted and she told me to get it the following morning at her garage sale. From the looks of the items, it looked like they cleaned the whole house out so I assume it was her parents that either moved or passed away. Just a guess because I basically paid her, said thanks and ran.

It looked like they gave it a decent cleaning so I didn't do a lot but shine it up a little.

One question I have is do you guys have the vent stops bent so they hit the stops or do you have them flat?  These were flattened out and I bent them back. I assume that's correct?  However I could see advantages to having them flat for future cleaning. Here are some pics. Also, the vents hadn't been moved for awhile. Took a minute to get unstuck. When I moved the top damper, broken pieces of porcelain started coming off.  There is a spot missing right next to one of the holes under the damper.

Final question, what is the best way to preserve the missing spots of porcelain?  I've been hitting the spots on my other kettles with cooking oil. Is that the preferred way?

Yeah man, just hit them with oil and let them go.
I bend the bowl stops back in as well, It just helps to adjust your vents without having to get down and look. Go by feel type of thing, you know. Or at least that's my thought on it.
Great lookin cooker, Sean. Thx for the pics.

Thanks Travis. That's what I had in mind, just wanted to make sure. I treat my mbh kettles with a little more love than my other ones.

What the hell, might as well fire it up . I guarantee this is this first fire in it in a long time.
