Copper Kettle


What do you suppose the San Miguel Mission folks used this large kettle for? Cooking or rendering something. It has a fire pit underneath it, a hinged lid and handles on the side. Note the images of cattle on the sides. Any guesses? Maybe I will send them an e-mail and ask them.

This copper kettle is used every year, the 3rd sunday in September every
year for our annual San Miguel Mission Fiesta, and they make the beans for
the fiesta!

Hope to see you one of these years during the fiesta. You can also log into
our website for all that is happening here in our beautiful mission
www.missionsanmiguel.org

Thank you again for your beautiful picture. I will also share it with our
Mission San Miguel Guardian, Bro. Bill Short.

Many Blessings to you and your family.
