Beautiful day yesterday, thought I'd finally clean the red A Code I got in December. There was a ton of spray paint splatter all over it, and I got that cleaned up using the razor scraper and 0000 steel wool. I also polished up the legs and triangle, and got them looking as good as new. Finally, I worked really hard at getting the top vent as shiny as possible. For once, I carefully rubbed the steel wool all in the same direction and then polished it with some Mothers. Nothing I can do about the old scratches on it, but I think it looks pretty good.
Last weekend, we went to visit some friends in Orange, CA. They had heard of my Weber obsession and gave me a K code Smokey Joe that had been sitting around for at least ten years. I cleaned her up, but it was missing the little ash pan on the bottom...After cleaning out the garage this weekend, I had an old empty paint can that I thought could do the job. After using a hammer and flathead screwdriver to punch some holes, the ash pan was a go. A low tech mod to be sure, but I think I'm going to paint it and eventually convert this into my first mini WSM.
