The black MT I picked up at the meetup was a little rough, and was not a candidate for a museum-quality restoration. Still, a couple hours and some elbow grease works wonders. The one-touch system will have to wait, but I plan to run this wide open - searing steaks and such. Not a big deal. Had to get new grates, and am trying out the gourmet system I picked up recently. I can swap it to my performer depending on what's cooking. I'll get a new grate for this one eventually. Handles were toast, but I had a set from another project. Sorry for not taking a pic of every step along the way. I was trying to get it done before I had a visitor. Anyway, here's a quick look at today's fun:
The brace is solid, just needs a new set of wings.
Had to hack off the handle - it was frozen solid.
Top nuts came off the bale, but the bottom bolt had to be drilled out.
All together for tonights cook.
That grate system is nice!
My granddaughter Lizzy ran up to it and thought it was funny she could see herself in the kettle.
