So last night I finished cleaning up this $5 Smokey Joe find (not including bottle of gin for my BIL that agented and the Zavod handle), and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Then, even though I’ve told myself to stop looking and enjoy the grills you have this summer, I looked on CL and found something I’ve been waiting for: a beautiful red MBH! Needless to say, I took some time from work this AM and she is home with me now!
I’m going with a ‘76/‘77 based on the age guide, which is in the range of my and my wife’s birthdays. It is structurally in amazing condition. Need to carefully remove some white paint spray, but a test area gives me hope it will be doable. The only area I’ll need to be really careful about is the handle where there is a slight bit of play, mild rust inside and enamel loss. Really pinching myself on scoring this!
