60 Year Old Cook 'n' Kettle

by Thomas
(Mississippi)

60 years old and still going

The cook 'n' kettle goes from 225 degrees to flames. It will smoke, BBQ, grill, Rotisserie, and Sear. Being made of cast iron it retains heat well and with available accessories and replacement parts it should be a grill that will last two life times.

Cook N Kettle

You can use a stiff wire brush on a right angle grinder and remove the rust or have the unit sandblasted. Then paint with high temperature paint.

How to cleanup and use older kettle?
by: Steve-ca

i got a kettle from a friend who passed away. It is silver color. and it does not have a lid vent.
Is has a cart made of bent pipe.
The grate inside is has very wide bars on it. There is some rust inside it.
What is the best way to remove the rust?
Is the size the same for all kettles?
I would like to get some extension pieces.

Thanks,
Steve

I own a Cook'n'Kettle Junior with fry pan, BBQ Grill & Grate all rapped-up in one large CAST IRON Kettle pot.The top turns over make the fry pan, all for fireplace cookin'.Must weigh darn near 35 pound, by gum,.If this one is 60 Year old., mine could be 160 year old, been in the family since they came to the West Coast, in a covered wagon, but still works good as new. Don't make em like they useta', by gum.Good stuff.Another satified Cook'n'Kettle generation.

Age of a cast iron Cook N Kettle
by: Larry Baker, CEO of Cook N Kettle

If the damper on the bottom of the kettle is offset to the side it is a 1947 to 1972 model. If the damper is directly on the bottom, it is 1973 to present model.
The Cook N Kettle photo from Mississippi show a side damper unit that it in great shape.

Stick with a grill that works
by: Anonymous

That's awesome. The Cook n Kettle looks like it's designed to last. If it works, use it. Why get caught up in all the new fangled stuff?
