Thanks for the replies! I think I will do the solid handle and stain it. One of the slats is pretty "warped" and will need to be replaced. If I sand down the rest I may be able to match a new one. Thanks again guys!
Was looking for a BBQ for the cottage - there was a "Fiesta" there but it was rusted beyond recognition. I started the hunt online and found a beautiful Redhead :redgenesis1: for $50. It was a natural gas model that had a propane conversion manifold with it. It needed flavor bars but everything...
