It's been a minute but I hope everyone in kettle-land is doing well!
Just wanted to share a couple cool finds I picked up this weekend thanks to a tip from a local Grillfella' - Cheers Kyle!
I've always loved the look of the Manturion griddle, but it's not the easiest accessory to find as they only ever seem to have come from South Africa (Perhaps also AUS/NZ??). So you can imagine my surprise when I clicked the link and read the listing for one for sale locally here in BC.
After quickly messaging the seller we made arrangements to meet today around noon. I walked up to the meeting place and to the man with a giant weber box and introduced myself. After exchanging names I asked if he might happen to be from South Africa and sure enough he smiled and said yes
He was super friendly and we shared a few good Weber stories before eventually packing up the goodies and heading home.
I was thrilled to get the box for it as well and its in pretty nice shape. The griddle was a little dirty/greasy but clearly not used very much and in excellent condition overall.
Here it is after a good degreasing, cleanup, and a replacement set of handles.
I could not be happier with the results and am really looking forward to trying this out for some stir fry/fajita type dishes. I think it will work out great and the size/capacity is perfect. It's somehow larger in person than what I was expecting...
The second accessory he had for sale was a very interesting set of Weber charcoal bins.
Has anyone seen a set like these before? I don't recall seeing this particular style and thought they were pretty cool...
Cheers for looking and happy grilling!
Matt
