Title: My new Red
Post by: CatskillSmoker on November 03, 2018, 12:33:29 PM
So I awoke this morning and took care of a few things, put the coffee on, and went to take a quick look online.I bring up FB Marketplace and I see something of interest. When I clicked on the ad, nothing came up, so I went back to the ads. It was gone. Very strange. I get coffee and come back and look again. Holy Shit! It's back up for 10 minutes. I reach out and the grill is available. I set it up for Noon. Today is my brother in-laws birthday and knew my nephew, who's been an agent for me before , was heading to Long Island from the Bronx to celebrate. I call him and he says no problem. He was actually going to leave at 11 anyway.
Well  1 1/2 hours of fingers crossed while biting my nails. He texts me at 11:45 that he's 15 minutes out so I let seller know. I told him to get the grill and the story and get out with it. At 12:08 seller PM me "Enjoy, Happy Grilling. A minute later my nephew texts I'm in my truck with it. They were the original owners he said. They didn't really use it anymore and "just wanted someone who would use it to have it". I told her she found a good home.
These pictures were in the ad. I already see a nut and bolt through a leg socket. Will be a few days before I pick her up. Will post more pictures when they come. Hope everyone is having a Weber Weekend!

Beautiful aristocrat!  Steel wheels but no thumbscrews would put it around 69-70 right @Craig

Thanks Fellas. At least he took a picture of lid vent as asked. Just got it, Patent Pending and steel wheels.
I'm guessing 69? @Craig

Amazing score, Colin. I was wondering why you needed another red before I opened up the thread haha.

Nephew snapped a few pictures Looks like I'll be needing a bowl vent or two. Anyone know if they are the same as a 22 or are they different? Thanks

22" and 26" kettles utilize the same bowl vents (4 hole, 1 1/4" diameter).

38 degrees and I'm still cleaning kettles. My nephew brought it up to me yesterday.
She's in really good shape. I was worried about the handles but they are very solid, as are the sockets.
We don't have sun in the forecast until Thanksgiving and it's forecast to be 25 degrees for a high.
I'll get her cleaned up some more for some pictures. Triangle is VERY rusted. Need to get a bigger tub to soak it in Evaporust. More to come.

They drilled a whole through one socket and put a bolt in. It's been removed.

The only picture of cleaning. Very promising.

Getting there. Not that much more to go. Just don't know how the weather will be. So I took her out in the sun. Waiting for water heater drip pan to come in to Home Depot to soak triangle and grate.
