Is this a 26 in kettle

[Michael Richards]

I am helping my mother in law move out and here is my late father in laws kettle. I know the handles are on wrong, but is it a 22 or 26. I can't find a measuring tape, packed up.

If it's a 26 I believe the cooking grate is SS.
Does she have 12" x 12" tiles anywhere in the house?
If so you could take the lid and see if it's over or under 24"

It’s a 22” kettle triangle will have three wires and a 26” will have four.

 

[Bob Correll]

I say 22.5" because I think all of the 26" models of later years have a slide aside lid holder and more rods on the rack below.
edit, I now see RJ has already addressed the question.

LOL - if you grunt a little bit when you lift the lid, it's a 26"

Well, Michael, are you going to take it home?

 

[Tim Snyder]

That's the first time I've seen the bowl handle swapped with the lid handle.

I wish he was still around so I could bust on him for it!!!

 

[Michael Richards]

Yeah, as always you guys are right, after slowing down and letting myself stand over it, it's a 22.

Great to hear. I have several momentos from my father in law.
