'70s Groove
« on: November 27, 2016, 06:34:18 PM »
Scored this beauty at a yard sale this weekend.  Found an old post on here with one that was identified as a 1970 Structo.
All I'm sure of is that's very "Groovy"

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Is that cast or sheet metal? Looks like a low-res Weber kettle.

Gummi, it's stamped Aluminum I believe.
About the same thickness as a weber.
Has a HC style internal ash pan with a single daisy wheel on the bottom.

Cool find.  Is the finish raw metal or is it painted?

Finish looks to be raw metal. It has a kind of faded hue to it, like a weathered aluminum stock pot, and it may have been cleaned with an acid before, @brewtownbeatdown , got me thinking about that. I'm not sure. the lighting in these pics kinda sucks.
the internal ash pan was sitting all the way to the bottom, blocking airflow. I raised it a bit with some McGuyvered spacers and did a test run last night. Held 300ish with a compact chimney full of briqs. Super lightweight, pretty darned cool.

Awesome find.  I'd be all over it as well. Standard 22 inch grates fit?

The grate is about an inch bigger than a 22.
