Title: Someone please buy and restore this ranch kettle to its former glory
Post by: shamlax79 on May 27, 2017, 03:07:42 PM
Found a Weber ranch kettle on OfferUp for $100 in Camden, NJ. It appear to be missing it's wheels and possibly lid and the cooking grate looks rusted but for $100 I'm sure one of you could make out pretty well off. I'd buy it but I'm not really on a position to buy another grill right now and don't have much of a need for it.

So I contacted the seller. No lid no wheels no charcoal grate.
  Lid is $375 wheels and casters 125$ charcoal grate $130 from Weber .. that's $630 plus the $100 he is asking.. I will pass

@Lemans ................... You can fabricate a charcoal grate, the wheels and casters while not Weber....can come from HomeDepot.....and a lid.......well shit happens. Get it dude. You need 2 of these things.

I'd try to pick it up for $40-$50, just for the frame & ash pan. Build up a 26" mini-Ranch out of it. 8" wheels & casters can be purchased through Weber for $50(ish)

It'd be a fine Hell Fire FREEBIE...but the shipping would kill the guy.
