I was surprised by the condition. Apparently I'm the third owner, the guy whom I bought it from said he could no longer cook on it?? what ever that means... After taking a shop vac to the inside to get out the leftover coals and crud I'm still not sure what he meant by that. The original owner apparently told him that webers had thick enamel and could be left outside, so he followed suit. All four dampers move freely. I've already ordered Craycorts. but it will most likely be awhile before she's cooked on so I placed it in my storage unit for the time being.
