Just picked up a $5 18.5" Weber with cooking pics!

[BBQpower]

New addition to the family, now my 22.5" silver has a little brother.
They were asking $25 and when I got there it had paint specks all over it, both the coal grate and cooking grill had rust, the 3 lower vents were all bent out of shape. So I said I will pass then they offered it to me for $5. Brought it home, bent the bottom vents back into shape, washed her out.
Went to Home Depot and they still have not had my Lazarri Lump wood so after 5 years of no charcoal I gave in!! It seems I just missed the sale on 2x kingsford 20# bags so I ended up paying $15ish. Bought a new 18.5" cooking grill, some apple wood chunks, a new cover for my new 22.5" and a temperature gauge. Enjoy!

New Grill! and I Seasoned the thing then cooked a Rib Eye!

Sear 3 minutes ea. side / was seasoned 2 hours before and room temp.

Indirect cooking 7 minutes

FINISHED!

Ahhhhh, juicy steak goodness. Nice score on the cooker too.

Nice score! :thumb: You got a nice vintage 18.5 weber. Does it have a date code on the exhaust wheel? Steak looks awsome too!!

Great score and a great looking steak. As with Chaddie I'm curious about the date code also.

Nice find.

I love the steak off the Weber.
