Title: My First...and it's 18.5 inches!
Post by: Skinsfan1311 on April 09, 2021, 06:39:27 AM
Finally....after years of "thinking about it", and a year of having my  lowball offers turned down, I finally got one!

I saw it on FB Marketplace for $100.00 last night.  It had just been listed and I contacted the seller to inquire about the size and if all the components were there.  He said it was missing a grate, so I offered $75.00 and he accepted it.  I picked it up this morning  ;)

He listed it as "used/fair" condition but, it's in great shape.  Just a little TLC and a replacement grate.  I own an 18" Jumbo Joe, so I'll use that in the interim.   I hope to have it cleaned up, and fired up, over the weekend.

It's a code "N"

Quick question:  Is that the original charcoal ring, or an aftermarket?   Thanks!
