Day started out with a fellow WKC member and me making a trade. I have a work in progress...I have the S/S cart, but in need of all the rest, other than the bowl and lid. Great to see some of the stable leaving, knowing there are going to a resort in upper MN. I guess the resort owner has seen the light.
I finish up mowing and start Pepper Stout Beef. Run to the store, check the Red S/S, all fine. Wife says, lets go for a bike ride. K...Finish the Stout pan. Go on the ride, she said let's go here. Okay, We head into a neighborhood a mile a way. Go east for a while. "Honey", we better start heading north. Have know idea where we are, but know we are heading north home. Now this is where Itis kicks in. I like to hunt, but I also road hunt Webers... We pass a house, I say "Honey, we have to stop, that is a rare Weber in the driveway up there." Seriously, " she says! I did! gentleman was in his garden. I say sir, " Can I bother you? I see you have a Weber grill and it appears to be old." "No problem, my fiance wants it gone.(He is just shy of 70) It was his deceased wife's grill, he doesn't doesn't know how old, maybe 20 years he says. I told him I collect them for a hobby and said it is 57/58. He didn't realize how long they had it.
He said it still works, been sitting outside all these years and was hit by a car... As we approach the grill, I am in jaw dropping awe... It is a Wood Dale! (I knew that from the street) It does have a leg holder dented up... The handles have a hole on the top. I think they were on both sides. Had the U shape holder with clips. The wheels, Metal and SKINNY. Smaller than training wheels, original and all white. The vents, they are square tab. Legs must be chrome, as they are sloghtly rusted.
The bad!!! I get blocks away and look at my bride a say " I am F'n STUPIID!" I was up upfront close and personal with a rare find and didn't take a picture...
My only saving grace, he is going to talk to his fiance, as she want it gone. It is a memory for him for the wife he lost.
He has my number, but tomorrow, I am going to stop and ask for a picture, Another good, he has an 18 BBQ in the rafters. He told me he had a bigger one in the garage, it was the BBQ Kettle, Heart was flutering big time. Thank God it wasn't a flat top 26 inch RED... Hopefully I will have a good update in the near future. Just had to share today.
It would look so nice next to this and different.
