Title: Older Smokey Joe Find
Post by: DaGoomba on November 03, 2022, 07:15:46 AM
Always wanted a Smokey Joe... Found this the other day and picked up for $20. Stamped 'K' which means 1988. It also has the daisy wheels.

Was there a charcoal grate for these older models? if so it is missing.

Congratulations! Good find. Yes there should be a charcoal grate...same size that is in newer ones. Should be able to buy a replacement or get from a parts grill.

I found one a few weeks ago as well. It has really fine white speckles but in pretty good condition. B code so 1980? It cleaned up nicely.

Oh wow very nice find! I like the white speckle and looks to be in great shape.

Congrats!  I picked up a similar C code from a WKC member earlier this year.  I like the looks of these and the legs are very unique.

Not sure off hand. I want to clean it up and get rust off it. The daisy wheels are rusted tight as well. When its time though probably some brats or burgers!

Nice grab! I think mine is about the same age. I haven't been able to convince myself to open the box!
