POLL: Is it worth resto-modding?
« on: December 23, 2016, 01:36:42 PM »
So I picked this grill up from a co-worker who picked it up from near his house. Don't look at a grill at night. So my question is this, is it worth the resto-mod or should I just cut my loses? I started acquiring parts but this would be a monumentous undertaking. I could resto it, or I could part it out. Don't know the year, so maybe someone here can shine some light.

Do you have legs and triangle. It would be tempting to restore?  I say that because vintage kettles seem so rare in my area.

It doesn't sound like your heart is telling you to restore it so I would pass it on to someone who would want to take on the project.

It's a red MBH! Leg sockets still (mostly) attached! How is it even a question? Get some evaporust and crush it!

Every kettle has a story. If the sockets are loose, rivet them back into place, new Daisy wheels can be had, not to mention it could make for a great high heat/beater cooker for pizzas.

Looks like a 64 to 68. It may not ever be a pristine looker but it would still make a great cooker and it's got a load of character
