So I was on my way home and there it was being wheeled out to the trash a WEBER 18".
Condition = UNKNOWN
Year = SAME UNKNOWN
Did I want it HELL YES! The lady was taking it out to the side of the road for the scrap guys. I pulled into the driveway and asked "Are you tossing that?" She said "YEP" to that I reply "Can I take it?" She said "YEP" fastest I have ever got a grill!
So some observations about the grill...
Top and bottom well taken care of but the vents need some work. PALATINE ILL "M"
The pictures...

So she should be a looker and a cooker! ;D
That will clean up nicely.
Free is good!
Our neighborhood cleanup day is 5/3. I'll be going shopping.
@Harbormaster I think it will to! I'll be using this.
You know what they say, shoestring. One man's junk is another man's treasure! Good deal bud!
Nice rescue. I can't get my '75 18er to seal very well at the bottom no matter what. The 1/4" hole down near a leg socket isn't helping either. I've retired it.

If I can't get it to seal... I'll make it into a chive garden. Need something that will keep it up high so the dog won't.... well you know ;) on it
Free is good congrats!
Great score! Free is always good.
Awesome score!

Well done for saving a classic-looks like late 70's early 80's model-I have a 78' model in brown with wooden handles-wouldn't get rid of it for the world-makes a guest appearance at family gatherings-happy cooking!!

It's an M code; 1990.
You are going to love cooking on that. I'd never had an 18 until recently, and mine is fun to cook on. Stingy on charcoal and easy to control.
