So after posting a Red MLH grill here Red MLH Moreno Valley CA $10
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=21339 and not having any luck contacting the seller @Troy posted a link to an Lime in the same area. I sat and thought on whether I wanted to make the drive and after about 30 minutes I decided what the hell. I sent the seller an email and after a few email exchanges we set up a time to meet.
Sometime along the way the seller of the Red MLH handle finally responded back to me and we also set up a time to meet. I was thinking sweet two grills one trip, I'm becoming a pro at this!
Well after picking up the Lime the seller of the Red MLH hit me with the famous "You are not going to believe this" line and gave some story as to why she couldn't meet me. Oh well I have a kick ass grill in the truck already.
I start heading my way back home and find the lady had re-listed the red MLH along with another one. (Both are linked in the original posting for the MLH)
Here are some pics

Too many turkeys have been cooked on this thing. Looks like they might have had a nasty grease fire. That damper is going to take some work to get back in working form.

Well...looks like my newness is showing. Anyway thanks. I can't believe I got my hands on this Lime not avocado grill.
Can anyone change the title? I can't. I guess I'm stuck being the village idiot.

I can't take credit for the find at all. That was all Troy. I have started cleaning it up and so far it's been a little surprising with what was underneath all the crud.
No problem at all. Anytime you see something out this way I will do what I can to talk the wife and kids into a road trip to help out. That goes for anyone.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
The clean up is coming along. I need to give a lot more love to the damper that was in a grease fire. But so far I have the bowl done and I'm about to start the lid.

Thanks fellas! I'm throwing some recycled coals from the other night on in an attempt to break up that grease around that last stubborn damper. It's caked on thick on the bowl and the backside of the damper. Crossing my fingers that I won't have to remove it.
Oh and I've had no luck with letting degreaser sit on it.

I've heard of some guys using floss to help get those vents unstuck never tried it myself, but maybe worth a shot

Thanks man. I was able to free it up the other day after I warmed it up but I underestimated the caked on grease and how much it wanted to hang on to the bowl and damper.
This time around I am the winner! Now it's on to making it look pretty.

How does inclusion to the Gallery work, @Troy ? Someone presumably curates it, so that not just any image winds up there simply for being asked.
I like your other images jolayiv but that ONE is the best. Best clean/unclutterred background, best "mysterious" light and best stature/stance of the kettle IMO. Everything about it just says Spring and Summer Grilling!

The gallery is run by anyone who volunteers.
Right now, it's run by no one.

Alrighty folks. I'm clearing out the garage to make room for some other projects/hobbies so a couple of grills need to go. I'm thinking $100 for everything in this picture. (I'm posting here just to give those that have seen the grill when I first picked it up first pickings). I live in Ridgecrest CA 93555. If you think you can make it out this way come grab it all.

That's nice of you to offer these up to the club. Both sweet cookers for sure!

All righty guys. The grills are gone to a good home. If the owner wants to share his new grills you will see who got em.

Thanks man. I have parted ways with some great kettles to get people started and share some of my treasures. I should have a beauty coming my way soon. Maybe a NIB brownie?
