Title: Cado Appreciation Society
Post by: Grillagin on July 17, 2018, 12:22:26 AM
If you are into the Avocado grills, post your pics here.  This 22 has been in the family since new in 1972, and was my first restore.  I still have the manual. The 18 is my latest acquisition and restore. I guess I'm nostalgic, as it was the color scheme in our house when I was growing up in the 70s.

My question is how often do you have to touch it up as the aluminum oxidizes?

1970s fondue pot from my childhood.  I decided to finally pull it out of a cupboard and start using it.  It still works and is ready to rock.  Not a grill, but still cool.  If anyone has vintage Cado goodies, please share them here.

I thought you might like this. I need to get it together with my '68 thumbscrew.

Well, it's been about 8 months or so, and I finally gave it a quick cleaning last night. Pretty sure more than one member sent me the link on this. She's beat up, but I dont mind
