Howdy folks. I am a new member here. I've visited before to read a bit, but just registered so I could share my score from this weekend.
I've been cooking on a standard 18" kettle I inherited from a friend several years ago. This is the nicest grill I've ever owned. I am really excited to get cooking on it!
Purchased this through an online estate sale on Friday. Picked it up Saturday. Paid $43.
Pretty good condition overall. It came with a cover, which is shot (brittle and cracking/crumbling), but it did its job in protecting the grill. I tested the gas assist and it fired right up on the first click with the gas canister it came with
.
The two letter code on the vent is "DR", which dates this to 2006.
At some point I will do a thorough restoration, but at this point I will simply clean it up and replace the cover and grates.
Based on info posted here by other members, I think I will go with the Classic Accessories cover.
Any recommendations for a relatively affordable option to replace both grates? Weber stainless grates or something better in that price range?
Ok, enough talk, on to pictures.
Here she is as purchased:
