Lots of potential here, the ash catcher and sweep were loose, lots of gunk in the bowl.

Will post restore pics when finished.

Nice pick up! Some new handles a bath can't fix! Is the thermometer missing?

If your ash handle & nut are in decent shape, I have a set of sweeper blades available.  And a thermometer.

Hoping to send this shit to someone who NEEDS it, not just to HAVE it.

Can't wait to see the restored photos.

LightningBoldtz you got some high standards if that's your idea of "rough." I couldn't see any dents or beauty marks on the metal .. the other issues are cake.

That's really nice, LB. Getting it into tip top condition should be a breeze.

I don't this this grill saw a covered day in 20 years.  All the parts look salvageable, it has a few dings on the lid, it needs a thermo but with a little effort she should be looking nice.

The lid it pretty faded I have seen the pam trick on some, is that just for show until it wears off?

Don't get me wrong, she has a lot of potential and with a little elbow grease I am going to have her shining again.

I can't wait to post pics for you.
