Somebody had a really hot fire in this kettle the wood handles got a little burnt and the inside of the kettle has a layer of scorched on layer of lava that I'm having a hard time getting off the kettle. Any ideas would be very APPRECIATED!
Hey Bill I had the same problem! I fixed mine by punching out the internal square nuts in the square tubes and running 1/8" stainless all-thread all the way through the tubes and attaching with stainless lock nuts. Be sure to get the rust off! I sanded mine out and hit it with some satin finish...
I thought it was amazing that I got a roti motor & skewer N.I.B. for $10 last week. I'm not even posting it after this. I'm feeling rather green right now! Nice find & sweet pics!

Ben, got that at a place that buys returns from stores like Gander Mountain. It has never been used but has been abused. It came with a perfect bottom, new hinged cooking grate, new charoal grate and inards one wheel and the triangle braces that goes between the legs. The lid has been pretty...
