7 Hours 370 miles and One GRAIL PIC HEAVY

[PotsieWeber]

Very rare for left handed use.  Should fetch a pretty penny among the leftie crowd.

Anyone ever seen this,upside down charcoal grate.

That reminds me, I've got to put my black wood-handled NOS left handed SJ up on ebay.

Looks like those rings are original.  As far as missing a third ring, it doesn't look like there is a third one on this one @harris92 posted.   As @PotsieWeber commented, it is missing the lid holder hooks. They can be seen in the photos on this thread.  They are just two individual hooks.  Should be easy enough to recreate.

Wow!!!!!

Let me start by saying " Any written form would be a feeble attempt to show my appreciation and gratitude to @AZogas ". I wouldn't have this if it wasn't for him. BIIIIG THAAAAAAANKS!
So yesterday I only worked until 1. I text Alex about a NIB Copper SA I was looking at but it was sold. Waiting to hear back about a CHILL for him. At 2:14 he gets back and lets me know about a Sequoia on CL in VT. He said picture in the ad wasn't great. I immediately went on CL and saw the ad, I was speechless. Only up for 4 hours at this point At 2:17 I called the seller and got no answer and left a message. I then immediately emailed him saying I would come today to pick it up. I realized in my voicemail I didn't say I would pick it up today. At 2:23 I called back to leave another message and seller answered. I explained I was a little over 3 hours away in NY but would leave NOW. I didn't ask questions. I didn't care about pictures. Got in the truck, gassed up, and was on the road at 2:31. It was a beautiful ride up into the Adirondacks and on over into Vermont. I arrived at 5:53.A minute later I couldn't believe my eyes. Seller was a really nice Gentlemen. He explained he bought it in 1968 in Ft. Collins, CO. Brought it back to VT with him. He was early 80s I would say. He engraved his SS # on the lid damper. He just didn't use it anymore. I only looked it over fast and loved what I saw. Kettle rode in the Cab with me and the cart got covered with a moving blanket. Back on the road at 6:15. I knew I would be home when it was dark. I arrived home at 9:30. I was shot. Took a shower ,ate some food, relaxed, and was asleep by 11. This morning I woke up early and started to really get a look. Kettle is in really nice shape. Cart is solid but will be restored. If anybody has one and notices It's missing anything, please chime in. Thanks Fellas
Still can't believe it, I'm pinching myself. Thanks Again Alex!

All packed up for the journey home.



























Looks like a ring is missing. Anybody know if these are original?

Beautiful pics bro!  Can't wait to see it on person next time I'm in the area.   Gonna visit Opus40 and grab twice as many brisket burgers from the Smokehouse too!
