Red Kettle Restore + Inaugural Pr0n (heavy)

[Smoothsmoke]

Here is some pr0n of my restore of the red kettle I got off craigslist a few weeks back for $20. She is wearing new wheels and legs and the one touch system. Cleaned her up real well with 0000 steel wool and elbow grease. Handles were coarse sanded, then fine and clear coated. A dab of touch of paint was used on the top handle. I decided to leave her other imperfections as is. The chicken was rubbed with butter, rosemary, garlic and a touch of The Rub Co. Santa Maria rub.

Cool..Same grill I got off CL for $5 about a month back for my UDS build. So easy to get these Webers at ridiculous prices around here.

No idea, I didn't even know that. I might fire her up again today, and will pay close attention. If I had the ability to do a time lapse photo session I so would. :thumb:
