Not sure how, because I'm not. I have been blessed with local and abroad WKC members. As I have expressed many times this is a hobby to me and do it on the down low. I really get more pleasure being able to help others. I have shipped, traded and help others secure grills. In the next couple weeks I will have fulfilled a few holes. Ultimately IMO, some our out of reach for me. Yes, I would like a Chestnut, Imperial and like Terry and Craig, a Green MBH...

I have moved some out, as I don't need two of the same. I have moved some, as others had holes in there collections and it just makes sense to me. I revert to this thread below, because this is what it's to me.

Yesterday we had a little local meet up. Some had stuff to share and some had been agents for others. How we work local, makes for great friendships. So I presented grill and took the time to do the Restore and Respect, as a local did the Rescue. This grill has many cooks on it and will continue with me. It has a story and was passed on by a member.

Pat# Pending Red.



It had been repaired before, so I did a quick fix to keep it close to original.




It is not a NIB, but still stands strong for being 40+ years old.




Corn was already put in the cooler, smashed tators were second up.



Yep, it needs a handle, but she does turn purty under heat...

I have a 76/77 Red and the color change when it gets hot is so friggin cool.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

Great story Greg.   Glad to see the old girl rescued!

Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.

604, it is a product called Whink Rust and Stain remover. Melts the rust away without effecting the paint.
Just a light squirt and scrub with a tooth brush. Was the easiest part of the rebuild, about a minute...
