Homer Simpson 10th anniversary 22" Weber Grill, Act II

[charred]

I shamefully admit to waffling on this purchase for about a week or so...then I saw argentflame's happy post and that was all I needed. Thankfully, it was listed as a Webber, so probably didn't get as many looks as it should have:

The rain let up enough for me to take these pics of it in the trunk. (Hell no I'm not gonna get it wet!) 

It has two major flaws on the lid- a ding and a bare spot. Otherwise, it's relatively clean.

It came w/ a non-hinge grate. Didn't they ship w/ the usual Gold hinged grate? No matter, I have an extra from a Target purchase.

Tomorrow I'll post assembled pics.

Got it for $50. Last pic is good representation of the color.

Love those Simpsons kettles
FWIW mine came with the non hinged grate, the same as yours

You rescued it ... That's all that matters!  Looks beauty!

Thanks for setting me straight, Hogsy!

@charred  Yours is in much better shape than the one I'm picking up on Saturday!  The one I'm picking up has a fair amount of triangle rust.  That's my least favorite part of the clean-ups.
