New from Oklahoma
« on: September 14, 2019, 10:05:27 PM »
Hello from Oklahoma! I'm happy to find and join this forum. I have two kettles - an older 18" that I inherited and that got me into all this, and a Performer CL find that I elbow-greased into something nice. I just got a new metal tabletop to replace the worn out plastic one it had, and have therefore been doing something of a "second restoration" on it before installing the new table. I'm also refurbing two older Weber gas grills as I get time -- a cool redhead 1100 and a Silver A. I also have a Silver B in disrepair, but the frame is solid so I am planning to make it into a wood-slatted prep/serving cart. I am interested in polishing up the legs/ash pan and refurbing or replacing the wood handles on my 18" kettle. Any tips or must-see threads would be great. Looking forward to learning, and growing my collection. After spending a little time lurking, I am going to be hunting my local area for some color!

Welcome from just outside Chicago, IL
I swear, when I score a great deal on a 26" I'll stop buying grills... So often.

Welcome to the Forum from the San Francisco Bay Area.    Here are a couple of instructional articles from the WKC home page.

http://weberkettleclub.com/weber-charcoal-grill-restoration/ash-pan-clean-up-and-polish-procedure/

This is the restoration on my 62 Ambassador legs.

Thank you for these resources. And thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the club. I'm new here too, so...politely. Where are the pics?
