It is certainly an uphill fight to restore one of these old and unique double Broikmasters, and adapting some similar newer parts would be almost a certainty. I regret that I didn’t do an adequate job of photographing the disassembly back in 2020, but I remember thinking that a lot of fuel...

Josh, I (and especially my wife) would love to see you bring a box truck to the Midwest and go home with it, two Jrs. and more😆!

Pictures look amazing, so in person I can only imagine :smilekettle: !

I agree, Larry. The original grates likely could have been restored. Maybe the prior owner - unlike @Josh Dekubber - wasn’t up for the effort it would have taken.

They look exactly like my 1st generation Summit knobs:

Sure, some touch up paint but not a corroded import piece of junk ready to be pushed out to the road!

Pretty much a Holland Grill. I think where these would shine is something like doing chicken pieces. No worries about flareups or blackened skin, just steady moderate heat. Some of these have a built-in smoke tray, but you can easily do the same on your own. I agree with Larry that this cooking...

Wow, Josh! When you jump, you go with both feet in! I will be very interested to see what you do with these. The $350 original price on the first one was too high - although well worth it - but you got that at a steal and now a FREE one! I agree with Larry about these being excellent cookers...

Josh, Broilmasters are well built, American made grills. Simple construction. The only real weak link is the igniter. Those stainless “waterfall” grates are a very cool idea allowing two levels in the smaller size and three levels in the larger version. That price is high, not because they...

That’s a steal! If my wife could tolerate charcoal and that was near me…

The sad thing is that people say they want the old-fashioned hardware store, but they vote with their feet (and wallet) and go to Home Depot, Lowes and Menards. I still have memories of that hardware store smell from when I was a very little kid in the 1960s! A place like Ace tries to straddle...

Two nice brunettes, though!

Good tip, Jay! That is certainly the first place to look. It does depend on the size of your Ace location how much you will be able to find.

I wonder if there is a pool just out of the picture? Chlorine can exacerbate rusting.
