Possible bubba keg trade

[Trumpstylz]

Friend of mine has a lime green bubba keg. It is definitely older, and he said he would probably trade it for a weber ots (I'll probably get one off CL). Its definitely a bit older and the cooking grate is a bit rusty. Is it worth it?

I don't remember the original Bubba Keg coming in lime green? If it really is a Bubba Keg, it is worth quite a bit more than a Weber OTS.

If its a Bubba keg - grab it! Might need high temp silicone around the top and bottom vents.
Its definitely a practical and efficient cooker.

Just curious, did your PBC arrive yet?

You ordered it a long while back.

^^^^ grab it!

I'd grab it in a heart beat. Webers are a dime a dozen.

Do it. Do it.

So, has anyone ever seen or heard of a lime green Bubba Keg?

 

[Smoothsmoke]

I've seen lime green keg coffee mugs. But nope, never seen a grill.

Not that I know of I think they were gray my bubba is but the mugs come in lime green.

Yeah, its wierd, it says bubba keg, but it doesn't actually look like a keg- more like a grill dome. But it did say bubba keg on it.

Edit: Never mind- the bottom looks like the keg, but i'm not sure if the top has the indentation at the handle height. It might have just been painted green by him. He said his brother gave it to him.

Pr0n of said grill please.

Yeah, I did. I like it, and the fire ring is a tank, but I do think I need to get off of the Kingsford blue (I haven't used stubb's or Kingsford comp in a while, I've been using lump). Also building a Mini wsm, so this will be a lotta grills/smokers. I can't wait to be "that guy" in my neighborhood.

Is it insulated metal or ceramic?

I'll take a pic when my buddy gets back- my phone had to repeat the second grade a few times and isn't all that high tech.
Are the grates for these easy to find? The grate on this is cast iron and is fairly rusty. I might be able to sand it down and reseason it though.

Rust on CI is an easy fix man. Grab it and run already!!!

you got that right . use a 1 to 1 recipe on cast iron i part vinigar 1 part water . Soak for 4 hours . scrub with steel wool . rince if it still has rust do it again . But do not soak for over 4 hours at a time vinigar is a acid .

Yeah, I have to get a CL weber first, so I've gotta get one off CL in the next day or two, and then I'll go over there this weekend and seal the deal. Pictures to come.

If its a straight up trade for a Bubba Keg, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a brand new OTS for $99

 

[MisterChrister]

I'll do him a performer for it.
