My wife's Grandfather passed away recently, after a long and happy life. Over the past 10 years or so we have visited them often. Every time we were there he would tell me that he had some old bbq stuff in the storage box on his deck, and that when he found the key he would let me take a look at it to see if there was anything I might want to take. Needless to say, in all those years he never found the key, and he would not let me cut the lock. After he passed away, my mother-in-law told me to go ahead and cut it, and to take whatever I wanted.
This was the first time any of these items had seen daylight in at least 15-20 years:

You can imagine my surprise! He had a Weber 1000xl sitting under a cover next to the box, so I figured he might have a grill inside the box too. A nice Redhead MBH that looks to be from about 1979:

But what really got me excited were all the Weber accessories that were mostly NIB and never used:

There was even an old bag of KB with some woodchips and starter fluid:

I wiped her down and put on the accessory table:

And had to cook on her that night:

I was truly blessed to have known this man, and I know that he is smiling down on me, knowing how much I will enjoy his Weber Legacy!
