Long neglected, poor baby.
Sad part was she probably sat unused for years while someone could have been creating wonderful meals with family and friends.

Felt good. Been a while.

Nice rescue!!


What continues to amaze was that this 100% functional grill which looked that horrible only took about an hour and a half of elbow grease, a couple razor blades, 1/4 a roll of paper towels, a green scrubby sponge, a gallon of water and some dish soap to shine up beautiful, ready to create a beautiful meal.


A good chunk of the appeal of this hobby is the satisfaction seeing the transformation when cleaning them up. 


Note to self: don't be so stingy changing out razor blades.

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

Nice work on a nice kettle!!!  Gotta love when it's a quick, smooth resto/clean-up.

I now know I need to complete my mission. I see one of these everyday, on my route, that just sits outside unused. I've been planning to make a cold call on it for quite awhile. No safe spot to park a semi makes this tough though.  It's right at the intersection of two busy country highways, neither of which has more than a 2' shoulder. Very seldom see anyone home either.

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🤞
