Some of the restoration pics:
Attachment 64194 This thing had several hairline cracks. JB Weld did the trick. Attachment 64195 Inside shot of crack repair Attachment 64196 High heat resistant paint. Even though this puppy will never see temps above 325F. Attachment 64197 BGE gasket Attachment 64198 Pork On!!! |
Very cool! Was the handle facing down like that? I think it faces up.

nice job!

Yes, that's the original orientation- or at least thats how it was when i found it (as shown in the green photo). It swivels up and down, there are stops that allow it to go up to about 1/4" higher than horizontal. |

1 hour in and the inside air temp is holding steady at 265-267. This is much easier than I expected.

:biggrin1:Ive picked up a few of these over the past 2 years, and love them!!!!! I have learned a lot on this site about them too. If you have problems with the JB weld, then you will need to go get some of that furnace and fireplace adhesive. It really works super good. Here is my restore, it is a little outside the box for color, but it is what I like!!! I just ordered a official replacement cover for mine.
