A couple of weekends ago, I met up with forum member Jeff who was willing to haul one of my kettles to it's new owner. What should have been an hour-long commute, ended up taking us almost twice that long due to slippery snow-covered roads. Before heading home, we did a quick check of the local CL ads and found this for a song. The owner wasn't able to meet us as we were passing through, he was just on his way out to church, but was willing to let us leave a few dollars in his front screen-door when we picked up the grill from his front porch.
The kettle was dirty and needed to be cleaned up, but is in excellent condition. I don't know the history on this grill, but it must be a low-hour unit, and I sense that the pervious owner was a grill fella who took care of his stuff.
Most of the MBH's I see around here have cracked porcelain and rust around the bowl handles. Not this one...
An example of this kettle's condition, here is a pic of the original wood handle. I refinished it with 5 coats of satin spar varnish, but it's in amazing condition for it's age! Also no rust where the metal lid handle is welded to the lid.
