Need your opinion on the Red Kettle
Guys I was able to purchase this grill because I've been looking for a Red Kettle for a while. On the pics it looked really good but upon further inspection it will need some work and I'm not sure if it's worth it. Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly...
Good- got it for $15, I had offered $40 but after inspecting it I was not going to buy it at all and the guy felt bad and offered to me for Free...I told him it was still worth something so I gave him $15...he was happy.
Also the lid looks really nice, I have yet to wax it but it's in really good condition.
The bad- the bowl has rust parts, still looks charming I guess. It will need a new blade cleaning system and handles...
The ugly- one of the legs is rusted, it's thru the bowl...I have no idea how to fix it.
As I see it these are the options I have.
1. Rock it like that, it still will work and looks cool.
2. Don't invest money on it, save the lid and hope that I will find a bowl in the future.
3. Fix it it! But its it fixable? I can purchase new handles, and cleaning system but I will need a reference on how to fix that leg. Can I weld it? What about the hole?
4. I have a GRASS GREEN bowl from a performance that although I know it's different than a regular kettle I can make it work...so Red lid, Grass Green bowl...I dunno!
What u guys think?
