Introducing the 2nd known ... GREEN MBH
« on: May 23, 2015, 09:23:55 PM »
WOO

Huge thanks to @Jason for tipping me off AND picking this up for me.

Props to @Craig for donating wheels, triangle, and ash pan (which I failed to put on for these pics)
@zavod44 for the sweet birds eye (or curly?) maple handle
and @SixZeroFour for cleaning and restoration tips. The razor scraper and fine emery paper are now my absolute favorite things in my garage.

There's some sort of white overspray on the lid still. I scraped most off with a razor, but it's hard to see without the right light.
If you click the pics and zoom in you can clearly see the white droplets. steel wool doesn't touch them, but the razor takes them right off.

Yeah when Jason picked this thing up, the wheels were freaking BOLTED onto the legs. There was no triangle and no ash pan.

There's 2 quarter sized chips in the bowl, and one smaller pinky-tip sized chip. There's also a weird little dent, but no damage on that.

The charcoal grate tabs on the inside are bent all the way down. I'm not sure how that happened.

Needle nose pliers and some extra carefulness will bend them back into shape.

yep. I had to do that on my red 26 too.

I'm doing 3rd round of vortex testing tomorrow, planning on using the green. Hopefully high concentrated heat on the lid doesn't make bad things happen.

I realize that if I ever land an mbh dark green, I will have acquired my greens in order of appearance from Weber. I got my Cado first then more recently my Lime. So naturally, dark green is next...

THAT is a green that I can love. Wow! What a score. Why so few around? Very limited production run or small window when they were sold or both?
