So now I am cruising Craigslist, and giving some SERIOUS thought to checking and possibly picking up a used Original 22 kettle. The pics don't show any rust or damage, just faded handles....
It would be awesome to have 2 kettles going at once for bigger cooks...
And used prices are between fair, to dang that's cheap! I can easily pick up a kettle with bad grates, replace them with a new coal grate, a new flip grate add a thermometer and be good to go for decades of cooking!
