Sho yer Joes!

[HankB]

My JJ cleaned up nice, though I really picked the wrong day to work on it. (91°F, hot sun and high humidity)



The SJG was just as clean earlier this year but cooking has left it with a protective layer of grease.

Everyone,
I'm interested in a colored SJ for my son to use first as a toy so he can pretend he is grilling while I grill. Once he is older I envision him actually using the grill to cook his own hot dogs and such. Turn him into a grillfella early. He is only 8 months right now so I have time to find the perfect color lol.

So, if anyone is interested in selling a fancy color let me know. If it isn't too much and my wife gives her blessing I'll pounce! (She really loves the CB green so that is my first choice.)

I will trade you my CB lime green for an 18 or 22 yellow kettle ..... you think about it. 
It's new ... never been used.

My son's came from Pampered Chef as a performance premium that my daughter-in-law earned. It's an AU (2012.)

Mines the exact same. Thanks Hank!

I'd take you up on that if I had a yellow. I've NEVER seen one locally but if I ever come across one I'll think of you.

This is my limited edition one touch full size "Teleflora" Giant Joe. I have oak handles waiting in the wings for it. I been slammed at work but I figure I would share it incomplete!

Harris, I'd love to see that photographed alone on a more neutral backdrop. Outdoors would be great, but find a spot that doesn't have a lot going on in the background, and a cloudy day or early light might be best so as to avoid harsh glare and reflections. This kettle deserves to be recorded for posterity in the right way, as do many other member's kettles. I don't have an SLR, but I try to apply these tips whenever I'm photographing stuff. Here are a couple links we could all learn something from. Different subject (Bicycles, another hobby of mine) but the recommendations would apply equally well to kettles.

twilight zone.

Yep, I know what you mean and will do so in the near future. I was eager to get some pics out.  Yesterday was a cloudy day.  You can actually see the clouds reflection in the grill.  It has a lot of shine.  There are two professional photograhers who live in my neighbrohood.  I am seriously considering hiring one of them for a "family" photo and some individual shots.
