Quick Heineken restoration done for Memorial Day.

[getlego]

I've had this kettle since 2019 and finally got around to bringing it back to its glory days. I love logo kettles, especially the 22" version. It is a basic one touch system. I happened to have an original set of ash sweeps to replace the missing rusted ones. My wife was gracious enough to stop and pick this up for me. She said the guy was selling it for his brother who got evicted from his property. Not a good story but I will always think of this guy who lost everything. If I ever ran across him I would gladly give it back to him. I'm not proud of the story but I'm proud to keep this kettle in operation. I wish I knew the guys name so I could nickname it.

I have a bunch of photos of the restoration but I will start with a few before and after. If anyone has any questions please post them. I used most of the methods from the wise founding members of this club.

Thank you guys for all your kind words. I've been fighting a bit of depression lately and this grill helped me have some perspective in life. I don't know what else to say other than thanks for the support.

I didn't get a chance to cook on it since it has an open ash pan and I didn't want to burn my deck down. I hope you all had a great Sunday !!! 2022

Put one of these under the grill to protect the deck

Did you put that label on it. Or was that a promo grill made by Weber?

That is a promotional logo put on by the factory. Does anyone know if Weber does these or is it sent out to a third party ?

Also to reply to the bottle cap hubcaps, I used some rare earth magnets and believe it or not, they had enough power to hold all the way through the stock Weber plastic hubcaps. They tend to fall off when moving around the grill but there is no glue or any other mods so it's very easy to make a new one by opening a new bottle of beer.
