I dug this out of the trash a month ago. It has a decent size hole from grate tab cancer and the one touch system had to be cut out. Missing legs and everything below the bowl.

I would like to make this compact for a larger portable grill than my sj.  I can get the one touch from weber for $23 including tax and shipping and I could buy a 6' length of aluminum pipe for legs for $6.99. That would be the max I would want to spend on this one. It's a 2002.

Not sure on leg length yet. Thinking somewhere between 6"-12"?  Or thinking about buying a piece of aluminum flat stock and trying to bend sj legs.  Looking for ideas. Not sure it's even worth it but I couldn't let it go to the dump.

It does have usable grates so I won't need those.

Good save. Damn shame about that cancer, butt if you get creative, a patch can be welded or riveted into place. As far as the leg length goes, make sure you have enough to attach an ash pan.

Looks like that washer should take care of the cancer for awhile. There have been some nice mini-builds here for ideas.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops.
