Full Fledged Farker
I've read up on some threads about restoring older Weber kettles. I picked this 22.5" up today and I'm wondering where to start with it. Some of you may have seen it already, because I got it from Beerbecue, another member here (thanks again for the great deal, Randy!). He said that when he posted it, folks estimated it to be around 30 years old. I took some pics when I got it home. It's really sturdy still, in pretty good shape. Obviously, I want to clean out the inside of the kettle and lid. What would be best to use on these? What would work best for cleaning up the charcoal grate and grill? I think I've got a good handle on how to spruce up the exterior stuff and I don't think I'll really need to do any touch-up painting. So to those of you who have cleaned up and currently cook on older kettles, what would you do to this one if it was yours?
