Title: Green SSP
Post by: magic mike on May 07, 2020, 05:58:04 PM
This is the result of taking the best of two SSPs and combining them into one.  Bowl and lid are from another frame (which wasn't in as good of shape as this one). 5 lb tank feels very full, but I tried firing it up and got nothing - built-in striker or propane lighter. 

Frame cleaned up great, but has some flaws (lid lip, wheel axle has rust. Looks great from 10 ft away.

Someone previously mentioned that sometimes fat will drip into the gas tube you'll get a buildup across from the electrode.  The remedy is allegedly to remove the electrode, clean it out, & put some sandpaper through the opening to scrape away so the electrode can arc to bare metal.

Thanks JEB.  I plan on selling the "leftovers" from the donor grill online, but if you're interested, 20 bucks and they're yours.  What's left is basically the outer frame (steel tubing), stainless table and charcoal/trash bin and rear axle and tires.........all in fair shape.  You can also have the leftover green lid as well................finish is in outstanding condition, handle is just loose (as they tend to get with the therm-in-handle design).  Stainless top is in great shape.  Let me know.
