Argentflame does it.....AGAIN !!!!!!
« on: September 11, 2014, 02:42:22 PM »


This Alvin guy is seriously "THE ONE" when it comes to finding the goods.....AND passing it along......

late last nite, I start getting PM's about here's this, is it a 26"?, I'd get it if it's a 26", etc., etc.


I say, I'll get it for you, I'd like one like that sometime, and it sure looks like a 26".....

Alvin says "You need this, I already have a 26" & more spare parts coming from Weber to maybe build another, so you get this one (!!!!)

He ends up texting the guy & getting most of the setup in place.....all I gotta do is make it out there in under 30 minutes......

It IS missing a hubcap.......



But, it's a Wood Dale !!!!















C L Pic



It's pretty crusty inside, but man, the wheels are dang near perfect, the lid's a tad out of round with some chipping & scraping, but the bowl's got NO heat blowouts...... :) :) :)

250 'Turds in one shot are now possible !!!!
(after I put together an upper deck grate)


THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!!!

In the true spirit of this place :

THANK YOU ALVIN !!!!!

That's a great story, and a great old grill. You're gonna have to start your own farm just to have a supply of jalapeņos.

Your welcome Ken. This is a fitting grill for a great grillmaster like you. I know you will enjoy it. From the CL pic I could not tell if it was a 26r or not because I cant see the
Triangle. Ken identified this grill just like that, he was right on the money.

Amazing find!  That ash pan is one of the best wood dale examples I have seen!

Alvin - you are not only the king of finding great deals, but an extremely generous grillfella.

Congats to both of you!

That looks to be in amazing condition for its age.  Great team work, fellas!

No need to worry about wood handles on this one, eh?!?!!  I can't wait to see it loaded with turds ... double-decker style.  :D 8) ;)
