Red SS Non gas rescue
« on: October 05, 2014, 02:27:08 PM »
On Fri. i rescued a SS Non Gas Redhead on CL, it had been up for a few days when i saw it, i made contact and arranged to pick it up.
I called to get directions and head out, the guy says to call him when i get there, so when i get there he says it's on the side of the house and to leave the money under the front mat as he wasn't there!  I look it over and try to turn the sweeper arm and it's frozen, i take the pan off to look it over and it's full of water and ash!

A quick peek shows a rust bar and thumbscrew, i look inside and there is no sweeper arms! I call him back and i ask if he would take $80 (original price $125) as i explain the issues with it, he accepted, i loaded it up put the money under the mat and i headed home!
The cart and the kettle are in good shape so i just have to get the old sweeper arms (whats left of it!) and put the replacement ring and sweeper i have.

Vent shot!

The carnage!

Does anything go here?

Wow, great bowl and lid. Your OT looks like something I had to cut off my (N) Gray SS Performer I picked up recently. Except I had at least one sweeper arm left, but no sweeper handle. Are you going to turn this into a possible gas assist for MOD month?

Nothing goes there. If it was a gas assist, that tray would be gone and in its place would be a cover for the propane tank with an igniter. The only other difference is it would have casters on it. If you have a perfect lid and bowl, you truly have a rare grill.
Fix er up!

Ron I am so glad that you grabbed that one!
Isn't it the ad that said it comes with a "trash can"?
