Thanks Bruce and Stephan H for the link to gas valve lubrication! I'll read up on that and do it the right way. Yeah, I was looking at king kong but was hoping someone had an angle on the old covers. Good to know you heard good things a bout king kong.

absolutely spotless! its raining here and I didn't feel like lifting the grates out but you can see front of firebox somewhat I hope! couple of questions for you guys: 1. what do you lubricate the gas manifold knobs with without disassembly? WD40? 2. who makes a good cover to fit this? What is...

Wow. What a timely thread! I too am in the middle of a platinum D6 resto. I have been looking to replace my summit gold 4 burner with one of these monsters for a long time and finally came across an incredibly clean example that sat barely used under a covered pool house her entire life, I paid...

Yes, Williamson Bros...sorry for the typo. Just tried it on some smoked thighs and legs last night....Awesome sauce! Especially for the price!

I was in my local BJ's today and they had 1 gallon jugs of Williamson Bar-B-Q sauce for like $8 and change....Has anybody ever tried it...any reviews? Seems like a great deal especially for something with no High Fructose....

Mike, I have a Seville that I picked up for $60 on CL last year.....It is lime green. I am sending the frame to get sandblasted this week and then I'll repaint it. Would you mind sending a pic to me......I am having some questions regarding the ash pan? Thanks!

I am putting together a basket with a bunch of misc. items for him....a new maverick thermometer, some lump charcoal, a fancy knife sharpener.....and some other stuff....He will make out pretty well......probably throw in a cryovac of ribs for him as well. Yeah....I had to get rid of the...

Just wanted to give you all an update....I ended up selling the Ranger to Stig from Weber of Germany. It is currently in the Weber museum in Germany. I was able to get the $$ I was looking for AND a copper weber OTG!!! Below is the link to a couple of pics of the copper kettle. If you notice...

Ok..after much consideration....I will be putting it on EBAY with a buy it now price of $1000. I allready bought a weber smoker and I am loving it! The $$ is worth more to me than this grill. Here is the thing though, if you go through live.com you will get 30% back so it will end up costing you...

Thanks for all the advice! I have decided to hold onto it for now...unless they offer me a loaded to the gills summit series! I am planning on cleaning it up inside and out and not using it anymore....do you guys have any recommendations for getting rid a small rust spot on the bowl and frame? I...

Well, I spoke to the VP of marketing at weber, he called me today (I sent the email friday night!) and and offered a performer, cover, and utensils for this vintage "ranger" model. I figure a $380 offer.....I asked for a WSM and a performer but he said he couldn't do it......I was kinda...

Wow, thanks for the response.....especially me being a noob here and all. I have not contacted weber yet....but i will as soon as i blast this email off. I will be sure to let you all know how it works out. The only thing I am upset about was that I threw the cooking grate out when I first got...

Below is a pic of a Weber "Ranger" as far as I can tell...through some research and looking at the Weber timeline .pdf file I believe it was produced around 1965....A friend of mine bought it for $1.00 at a flea market and gave it to me as a gift. What do you guys think the value of something...
