I was doing my daily search last night and saw a "charcoal barbecue" for $50. It wasn't really close to my house and I was about to scroll right past it but decided to open the link.
The first thing I noticed was the plastic handles. It was either a happy cooker or a Sears econokettle.
I was overjoyed when I saw the second pic.
I fired off an email to the seller. I never heard back. I drove to work and sent another email. This time from my work address. She responded immediately stating she was available now. I took an early lunch and headed out. I was willing to buy the whole thing just to get the Corn 'n' Tator ring.
I arrived in about 45 mins and took a look at the kettle. It was a Sears econo kettle. I doubt it was used more than 2 times. Pretty clean but dusty. The slotted ash pan was near perfect. The daisy wheels functioned perfectly. I told her I was buying it only to get the corn n tator ring and was most likely going to sell the grill. When asked to name my price for the ring I asked if $10 was ok. She was fine with it. I drove home with a big smile on my face.
