Finally a Grail for me
« on: October 10, 2017, 08:38:28 PM »
Finally, after 5 years since my first weber, i picked this guy up today for 20. It was at a rental property the guy owned and the previous tenants left. They also had a cast iron wheel barrow char-broil but that was already spoken for. As soon as i saw the ad i knew it was a happy cooker and immediately messaged the guy.

2 days later, the happy cooker is home.  When i went to pick it up, i proudly wore my WKC shirt and he noticed it and asked, “theres a demand of old webers?” I said yes there was and explained the club. Also explained the history of the happy cooker (thanks @idahawk). He was happy it was going to someone whos grandkids will cook on it

Here she is in my kid mover


And by the family:



Tear down and deep cleaning has already started.

Awesome, that grill should clean up nicely. Does it have the internal ash pan?
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill
