Today's find... The Chief!
« on: July 14, 2016, 09:19:13 AM »
Earlier in the week I come across a garage sale that lists a Weber Charcoal Grill so I start digging through the pics and find this:

Garage sale was supposed to be this weekend and I will not be able to make it so I reach out to the seller and ask if we could meet before the weekend.  I'm thinking, I don't really need a copper mist, but it's got a kabob ring (only 4 skewers) so why not give it a whirl.  Long story short, today I meet up with the seller and come home with The Chief!  I couldn't believe when he opened the garage and I saw a 26 that was complete and in great shape.
 
I have no idea what the back story is. The seller was getting rid of it for someone else.  Looks like its from somewhere in the 69-71 time-frame, but maybe some experts can help here.  Here are some pics before cleaning. 




Not sure what I will do with it long term, but I'm excited to have it for now!
Wanted: Burgundy 18"

Great score!
Especially with the kebab ring. I've got the same grill, but mine isn't in nearly as nice condition!
In fact, this is one of the nicest Chiefs I've seen
