...or saved from a horrible Heavy Metal death!
Its not much, but I was about to drop some heavy truck brake drums in the scrap metal bin with a fork lift, when I happened to spy this little fella on its side in the bottom.

Older than my 2 co-workers that laughed at me when I unceremoniously fished it out! Quick steam clean and its worth saving!
Old age and treachery wins!
Looks like she'd make a fine workshop cooker. Cool find
RRR... grate job!
Nice save!
Sweet!!
Good for you. Kettle Karma strikes again - too bad it wasn't a WSM 8)
WTH is wrong with people!!!!! LOL. I hope you cook up some good work meals and make whoever tossed it feel the sweet smokey flavor of regret!
You and me
@swamprb, dumpster diving kings!
The Taj maWeber is outfitted with loads of dumpster finds.
Your best day at work this week I bet!
I have to give props to
@swamprb. I PM'd him after this thread came out asking if he would be willing to sell this SJ as it was from my oldest sons birth year. Brian was kind enough to gift it to me and all I paid for was shipping.
Now, it is sitting in some CLR to clean the rust that is on some legs, and the body is soaking in some degreaser (water & Dawn) to soften some of the buildup.
I can't thank Brian (swamprb) enough. This was a fantastic jesture from one grillfella to another, even though we had never met except for communicating here on the forum.
Thanks so much
