I just got my first 1997 Red a couple days ago. The clean up inside the bowl and lid was easy, just a SOS pad and water. Looks like only a hand full of burgers were ever cooked in it. No burnt on grease or anything. Sadly it looks like it has sat in the weather for most of its 19 year life. 3 of the Grate Straps are chipped on the outside and a little by the leg sockets. The triangle is rusted bad, but the clean up is in the works
