New backyard accessory

This thing is beyond repair, imo, but had to Rescue it. The seller didn't want to give it away so he took $5 for it. This thing looks like it been thrown from a train, used as target practice, attacked by el chupacabra...abused.
I'll clean it up and use it to store by bbq tools I have laying all over the place, a side table for the other kettles, a beverage cooler, maybe a pony keg holder, whatever.

I'm putting one together that is equally beat, except my leg sockets are more solid. I say it can cook again!

Its a red. Save it! In twenty years, finding one like this will be the equivalent of finding a Wood Dale (metal lid handle) red in similar condition today. Reds will become rarer with time regardless of era.

We'll see what I do with it when I get it. I had my dad inquire about it today. Saw it on CL a couple days ago and noticed it was in Hesperia, CA near where my folks live. I believe all the leg sockets néed repaired. I'll do that and clean it up. I definately won't be cutting it up for what I want to use it for. I doubt it will be used as a cooker, but who knows.

I've got one in similar shape. My intent was to get rid of it, but I've ended up using it quite a bit. Keep and use for storage, etc. you can also use it for additional or back up grill.
It is surprisingly easy to cook on it with no airflow control. A 2 zone fire works fine with it. Who needs air control?

Hell, that thing's ready to cook. Throw a new grate in it & light the fire.

Looks like a cooker to me.
Brought home a Yellow 18 today that has 3 love marks on the lid. Sarcastically the wife and her daughter pointed these out as soon as they saw it. I said, "so what".
