Yeah...had to lol
Girlfriend saw this under a carport on her way to work and drove me by to look.
Nobody home so I went back this morning and knocked, told the gentleman I saw it from the road and would like to possibly aquire it.
$20 and a handshake and i was bringing it home. Crooked K, decent fade in proper light, and ROUGH.
but hell $20..couldn't say no.

Grate pick up. Looks like there may be some good selection by you after all.
Btw, think your spell-check is acting up
Nice cooker. Though I'm more impressed that you have a GF who not only spots grills, but takes you back to them for you to get a good look. Regardless of what happens with the grill, the GF is a keeper ;D

It best when "they" find them!
It's a little beat but will make a good cooker. Kudos to he gf for spotting it.
Anything of color is extremely rare down here so I had to scoop it up.
Gentleman said he found it alongside the road in front of his house 3 years ago, that explains the chips in the porcelain a little.
The chips in the bowl line up with the grate straps but..the straps are in great shape. ...hmmmn

Its the perfect party grill, especially for a firedude!
Nice looking Redhead, it looks to be pretty solid. Nice score!
A rash of Rockin' "K's" showin up lately! Nice find and welcome to the club!
Finished restoration.
High heat red paint on the dings, OTG ash catcher, and some Zavod handles.
Love this Crooked K code.

Red accents are really nice
Nice work on the cleanup. From the pictures you can barely see the paint touch up.
@zavod44 , those handles really tied it together. Thanks for the awesome work you do.
gotta give a shout out to
@brewtownbeatdown for the paint idea. Thanks again, the spots still show, but not as noticeable as no paint would be

I'm curious to see how it looks after a few cooks. What brand/color did you go with?

That cleaned up nicely! Makes me want to put my red triangle back on one of my reds. Love it!
Nice resto!
Maple Zav's on a Red are sweet. Got a K with some of those on it as well.
So, has anyone seen a K code that isn't red? seems like every one I've seen on here is red. maybe I overlooked a couple.
Myth busted. Brownie with a crooked K.

Thanks for the idea on the paint, wouldn't have looked near as good without that tip.

Not a problem. I'm a pro at "just a tip".

The red triangle looks awesome. Great idea. I may borrow your idea as I have to paint a triangle on a MBH redhead I am restoring. Thanks for sharing.
