22.5 OTG Fix up. Before and After pics...
Scored this guy a few weeks ago on CL for $40. Was used twice but was badly mistreated. Lots of dirt and grime in the bottom of the kettle but nothing a good power wash with some Dawn wouldn't fix.
Original thread is here. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=156597 Before... http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/...ps063eaf49.jpg After... http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/...ps84715b43.jpg http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/...pscda3fa03.jpg Outside cleaned up really nice. Inside still needs a little elbow grease with a scour pad and some dish soap but it cleaned up a lot better than I thought it would. The grates a pretty much shot so I'm just gonna buy a new set. |
Very nice!

Looks like it cleaned up nicely. You have to wonder how someone can trash a cooking grate that fast. :mmph:
|
Looks like the one-touch blades seal up well. Nice job.
|
nice score!:clap2:
|
Another Brethren Weber kettle rescue/restore! Looks good! :clap2:
|
She's a beaut.
Nice job. |

Since you're replacing the grates anyway, you should get the Weber Gourmet system

Looks great! I went wit the standard hinged grates when I had to replace mine last summer and haven't regretted it once. Granted, I have always wanted the cast iron ones, but I haven't lost any sleep at all over it.
I did just pick up an Akorn recently that has CI grates. They are not as easy to keep clean as you might think, but I just get in there and clean 'em up any way with some little brushes, and religiously oil them. This makes me wonder if I had two kettles side by side, one CI and the other not, which one would be my go to unit. I have more than one kettle, so I assure you this will be tested at some point, but for now I really see no reason to feel lacking in any way over the standard hinged grate on a kettle, whatsoever.:thumb: |
FYI to both the OP and bigabyte. I saw that the Cabela's here in KC carries the Stok CI grates now with a bunch of the inserts. Not sure if STL would have them (you have a Cabela's don't you?) but it is worth checking out. I don't use it as much as I should but the inserts can be handy and the CI is a nice touch too.
|
Thanks! I will be picking some up then. I am heading out to Cabela's sometime soon (hopefully tomorrow, time permitting) to pick up a camp stove and griddles I ordered, so as long as the CI grates aren't outrageously overpriced they are as good as already sold!:thumb:
Damn colonel...first you sold me on going to Price Chopper for Pork Butts...now this. You should make your own shopping channel for me to follow or something.:becky: |
No problem. PM me with the stove you want. I might have a hook up.
