Default Black Betty Restoration

This past weekend I did a "frame-off" restoration of Black Betty, my
15-year-old Brinkmann Smokin N Pit. I thought about getting a new 26"
Weber OTG, but she is sentimental to me.

Actually, that looks better than some right out of the box. Are those maple boards on the front?

Thanks. All of the wood is hemlock treated with many, many coats of spar urethane.

Make sure you don't slip any of those leftover hemlock chips into the fire box by accident...

I used to have that pit til I got my BGE and I donated it to my 'prentice. Mine didn't look that good though.
