Found this puppy on CL Chicago for $5...I just had to give it a good home. Here it is after a good cleaning with a damp paper towel, and had to de-rust the cooking grate. Used a vinegar/water (1:1) soak with some scrubbing.
still missing one of the wooden handles...we'll just add that to my "to do" list :tsk:

Had to get it dirty as soon as I could, so I did some chicken leg quarters for lunch. Kept it simple...just a little bit of rub (homemade), cooked indirect with RO lump and a couple of chunks of cherry:

You and I get most of those.
That's a pretty old WGA as it has the two rivets to hold the handle on. You'll need to find someone that makes those, cause you can't get 'em from Weber.

...that's why I had to widen my net a bit :grin: that, and I was planning to be there anyway, so I figured I'd give it a quick look. guess that worked out for me :thumb:

and the chicken was pretty good...even turned the leftovers into pot pies (gluten/dairy free) for dinner:

Matt, if you tailgate with a Smokey Joe I think you'll like the Go-Anywhere. I switched last year and am happy with how the G-A cooks a line of brats.

I'm headed up to Wyttenbach's this afternoon to pick up a split beef half...
