Title: One I was looking for for a long time....
Post by: zavod44 on October 16, 2017, 06:46:27 PM: I haven't posted many of the grills I have picked up recently, simply because I have been crazy busy. So I had the day off and I was trying to put some grills to bed for the fall and get the yard organized. So I thought I would take the time to take some pics. With all that being said I have been on the hunt for a thumbscrew Avocado for a long time. Well it came to my attention that a local grill fellow had one and was willing to part with it. So we made the deal, and it's been in my garage ever since. So today was a nice day and I got some pics of my long sought after prize....

It's an interesting one.....the older Avocados seem to have a higher thicker fade, and it's got steel wheels. I love anything with steel wheels and thumbscrews......I love the old transitional style grills, this is a bridge between two generations...Very happy to have this one in the stable

Post by: ABROB on October 17, 2017, 05:31:15 AM: Nice one - I like the cados. I picked up one in similar condition, but not a thumb screw version and is my favorite.

Meza Azul is gone, too many hot cooks on that thing.
