Curb Alert !!!

[Cody Bratton]

I would do it. I could fit it in this afternoon or tomorrow. I inquired an hour or two ago and no response. I imagine it is gone.

Did you ever hear back on that one?

 

[Bruce]

NOPE/ I inquired three times. Not surprised. It is probably sold and they just haven't bothered to pull down the add.

That is a good deal IMO.

Nice looking "ducky"

The non-black color makes it all that more desirable too. I like how he thinks that bubbling and peeling carbon inside the lid is "damage".

This would be cool to restore and use in a covered outdoor Kitchen.

That is kinda cool. It looks like it might be 50's - 60's vintage as well.

I may be going to Janesville on Sunday with the wife and kids… I doubt the wife would be pleased with that kind of detour

 

[Cody Bratton]

10 minutes away, co-worker just sent me the pic… can’t leave for 15-20… will it still be there?

 

[Cody Bratton]

Got it! At first glance, it looks very solid! May just get a good deep clean and list it in the spring.

Was the bottom of the cabinet in good shape?

It appears to be. Had some junk in the bottom and by the time I was able to unload it, it was too dark out.

So far I have 4 bottom panels that will be getting cleaned up, prepped and sprayed with bed liner. Trying to get all those at the same time to save on cost of material. Should be able to get 8-10 bottom panels out of one can.

 

[Bruce]

Nice, I did the bottom panel in my Genesis LX S240 with bedliner.

Did you do the top and bottom?

 

[Bruce]

I don't remember now. LOL

Here is a photo of the inside. I would love to check the underside, but my right knee is screwed up and I don't think I could even get back to my feet if I got on my knees. I think I did get the underside though.



When I pulled the cover off just now, this is what I found. I seriously am not sure if a cover is helping or making the moisture problem worse. We did get some rain yesterday, but it seems the cover is simply holding the moisture in. I have the cover off now to let it dry out. It is a Weber vented cover.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I am in the same boat about covers. I think even the vented ones trap the moisture. I hate the sun bleaching effect, but I think rust is worse.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I think I might keep the cover off.

Bruce, I think the cover speeds up the rust personally by holding in the moisture as you have found here.The only benefit to a cover I can see is sun protection if that's an issue with a particular grill setup.
