Nice clean up. Looks great!

That's a beauty, looks like the twin to one I scored earlier this year. You got a much better price though. Congrats!

Making me want to stain my handle

So here's where I'm at on the handle, that pic was a day after putting some Boos Block conditioner on the handle as a test. It really pooped against the faded black.

I need to lightly sand the handle then I'm going to use Tung Oil. I've been reading about different applications and to get the matte finish I'm going for it's recommended to dilute 1:1 with a solvent. You still get the protection of Tung Oil but without a glossy finish.

Your grill will look even better with the handle dressed up. Nice burgers and corn too, that's how I do mine.
