Title: Imperial Glen Blue 22
Post by: Jeff on November 23, 2013, 12:39:19 PM
So since today seems like a coming out party for some older grills, I figured I'd finally get around to posting a few pics of this (in)famous grill from Ebay.  I've had numerous private and some public requests to post some additional photos.

The only thing I did from when I got the grill was to polish the legs, the triangle, bottom three daisy wheels (some grease), and the top vent.  It was really in amazing condition.  Better actually than the Ebay pics.  I don't think this grill was used any more than a handful of times.  The ash pan has next to no heat discoloration in the original finish.  It looks as if maybe a couple hot embers only fell through 2 of the daisy wheel vents.  There is also no heat discoloration on the inner rivots in the bowl that secure the daisy wheels in place.  The most noticeable flaws in the grill are 2 small chips on the lip of the lid.  All three handles are near perfect amazingly enough.

Well...you see the dog crate and tennis ball because the grill is in the family room for now! LOL  My grill room is full now with some work going on there, so the wife was nice enough to allow this one here temporarily.  Its clean enough that it can stay on the light colored carpet!

I hate to hijack a thread, but let it be known that Carolina sucks.

But that grill is awesome... I know think it is actually Columbia Blue. Being named glen(n) and all, it can't have anything to do with that other place.

Thanks for taking the time to share that with everyone
