I saw this one too but have no space at the moment. I'm glad someone here got it! Some on here may have parts that would be willing to help. Your neighbor from Cary!
Hi,
In a way, I'm glad you don't have space, otherwise you probably would've scooped it up, yes? I'm happy I was able to get it, so thanks, I think. Yes, so far the responses have been encouraging. I'd like to disassemble it, do a bit of cleanup and reassemble it. Along the way, I'd like to replace the ash sweep system, as two of the blades have totally eroded. I'm kind of treating this as a little project, as I'm finding that I'll have some free time over the next couple of months.
A bit of a back story, the bbq was being sold by a younger couple out in Burlington (you probably knew that from the FB ad). Not sure which, but either his or her father owned it and had it at his beach house in Carolina Beach for 15 years. He passed away recently, and it made it back to their house in Burlington. They used it a few times, and decided that they didn't have patience enough to wait for the coals to ash over when cooking, so they bought a gasser and decided to sell it. I plan on taking good care of it, and using it as my primary kettle.
Signed,
Your neighbor from Apex, and former resident of Cary for 25 years.
