This is the kettle my ol lady picked up from Maxbobcat. Thanks again. Wish I could have been there also to meet a fellow WKCer.
I imagine this little buy has some stories to tell. I know it has traveled a ways to my possession. Beaten, battered and mistreated. Like a "redheaded" stepchild. LOL.
Today I attempted to save the Battered Redhead (there is a wife joke in there somewhere).
Here is what the cooker looked like when I obtained it.
Rough life indeed. Being that colored kettles are few and far in Texas, I wanted to save one.
This is where I am at so far.
I still need to paint the lid, reattach the handle, vent, and other bowl handle. I robbed the leg kit from the Grandpa kettle so I need another. Preferably a period correct leg kit for a Pat Pend.
