Special thanks to Harris92 and Kendoll for the heads up to the ad, and to lightningboldtz for being the agent for me. This will be a fun project. I already have wood from Zavod on the way for it. Ill use this thread to update the progress. First brown, hopefully to be followed by a 26er someday.

The legs came out nice too. This is scrubbing, then polishing with 0000 and mothers polish. There is some pitting, but other than that, looks good. Once I get a buffing wheel, I will go further.

I am by no means done, just the first pass of rough scraping.
Looks great, Ed! Can't wait to see more.
It's cleaning up nice. I like the browns!
Glad you finally got one of your sought after grills Ed!
I should also note that the second scrub of the ash pan was with bar keepers friend and 0000
Nice grab Ed and to all involved in the transaction. She seems to be cleaning up very nicely! You'll be smiling for awhile with that brownie.
That's a nice brownie, Ed! 8)
Ed,
So glad it arrived in good condition, you have done a great job so far in cleaning it up and restoring.
