Bar-B-Q-Kettle vs. Bar-B-Kettle

[Brad Olson]

My pre-1979 26" has "Bar-B-Q-Kettle" stamped on the lid vent while my 1990 22" has "Bar-B-Kettle". Does anyone know when this change occurred?

The change probably occured when the One Touch was introduced. Is your '90 22.5 a daisy wheel or a One Touch?

Can I see a better picture of that redhead C.?

Here it is Shaun posing with its bigger sibling, I did put on a newer leg kit and wheels for now. The original legs with the rubber/metal wheels are in the garage pending future restoration. But I kept the original twist ash pan in commission. A full "family portrait", will be coming soon. I'm just glad I finally learned how to post pics on here.

Daisy wheel. Isn't that what differentiates the Bar-B-Kettles from the models with the One-Touch system? Or was Bar-B-Kettle more of a generically descriptive name and not a specific model?
