Title: Ole Red got some love
Post by: smokeasaurus on August 25, 2012, 03:42:48 PM
I ordered a leg kit for Ole Red. I have the original ash catcher stashed away.
A member on the bullet site makes reproduction wood handles and they are sweet and very inexpensive.
Got her a cover.
This kettle will never be abused again!!

Nice Job Smoke!

I can relate to this very much. I have an old Weber 22" that's at least 14 years old.  It's like an old friend and I just couldn't bring my self to throw it away and ended up re-outfitting the old boy with new handles, grates, one-touch cleaning system (vents), the works.
