caliking
is Blowin Smoke!
Picked her up for $20 today, after lurking on CL for many moons. Not as sweet as deguerre's recent deal, but I'm easy to please.
The date stamp on the lid says "DT".
The charcoal grate may need to be replaced. A few dings on the red bowl have some rust, but have not rusted through - plan to sand them and hit with some high heat paint. The bowl is "in round" and the lid seems to have a good fit/seal. Checked the thermo and it registered "test" (marked where 212F should be on the dial), so it works.
I noticed that there is only one hole in the bowl for the ash to drop in the ash catcher. Did not see any vent cover for the hole in the bowl - it might have fallen off at some point. If there is only hole, how hot can this get? Doesn't seem to be a way to regulate how much air hits the coals (I'm no expert, so feel free to educate me)
[sorry if the pics don't look great... best I could do with my Blackberry]
No propane starter but I am fine with that. The table/cart seems to be in good shape wiout any rust.
Since she will end with a few black spots of the black grill paint, I will christen her "Ladybug".
Worst case scenario, I paid $20 for a good Weber lid and a table that may be converted to a UDS cart. Still a bargain in my book.
Will clean her up good and then get her dirty again (in a good way)! :-D
