The top can be lightly sanded and re- finished , I recommend removing as much grease as possible with a mild soap and warm water scrub , allow to dry and then sand with as fine a sandpaper as you can get. Keep in mind it's laminate and you can only sand so much off .

this man speaks the truth.

were it not laminate, we could begin to discuss citrus stripping and 0000steel wool sanding.

Remove the table from the glen blue kettle before you chip it and knock hundreds of dollars off its value?

How I did mine. Wasn't as dark as yours, but had spots that were really dark. ScotchBrite pad & Murphy's Oil Soap. Started scrubbing in circular motions, wiped off, then scrubbed with grain, wiped again. Not too abrasive.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

also, i got impatient and already sanded it.
i used a orbital palm sander with an aggressive paper. Hopefully I didn't totally screw it up already.

Don't use an orbital sander!  Or if you do, make sure you don't use any stain or any finish that will highlight the swirl marks you just created.  Or very carefully, very patiently hand-sand all of those marks out.  Consider it penance for using an orbital sander. 

...one second thought, FedEx that table and GlenBlue to me, and I'll apply my talents.  And I'll be sure to get it back to you ASAP.  ;-)

Looks like it turned out pretty nice for you, @Troy . For future reference, here's @Idahawk 's thread from his restore.

Looks grate!  I still think you should consider sending the table and grill to me for extensive field testing though.

Looks great! @Troy

Can you provide a picture of how it attaches to the kettle and whatever the support is on the legs to keep the table from sliding down.

Seems like theses tables would be easy to reproduce, and even use a solid piece of wood instead of a veneered laminate.

I've always like the look of these tables
