Kettle Perving!

[jcnaz]

Today I was in an isolated part of the county for a few hours. I decided that it would be a good time to cruise around and see if I could find any interesting kettles.
This area is mostly mobile homes on small lots, so there aren't many places to hide stuff. If the residents have anything, it is out in the open. I soon discovered that this place seems to be where old "El Cheapo Brinkmann" smokers and no name gassers go to die. Some yards had three or four examples of this junk. I was getting bored.
Just as I was about to give up I found this behind an old motorhome:


Even with the lawnmower wheels this old Pat.# MBH has some style. Especially when sitting next to a washing machine tub/fire pit!;D

I was finally getting somewhere. Imagine my surprise when a couple of blocks later I found this:



This redhead OTS has an E code(1983) on the vent. After reading Gummi's article on the one-touch system, I believe that would be the first year that they were available. This one is still in use, there are fresh ashes in the pan.

I wonder what I will find next week?

Good sleuthing.
Watch out for old ladies with double barrel shotguns.
