That poor thing. Too bad they are so costly to rehab.

 

[John_NJ]

Yeah, I don’t know much about those grills.

The same rust through on the front of the firebox?

 

[Bruce]

Yes and the inside of the cabinet is probably all rusted out as well. Most parts for those grills are fairly expensive if you can get them as well.

I have a brand new fire box, burners and flavorizers for that model.
I also have many used parts that are still in decent condition- grates,
smoke box, lid, doors, etc. Asking $300

It's def an old metal shed that someone turned into a smoker. I'm with Fred, unless you are planning to smoke and store dried meat for the apocalypse, that's too big

 

[Bruce]

Well, I love smoked food and it seems like everyone in the world is trying to start an apocalypse.

 

[DanHoo]

If smoked zombie apocalypse meat is on the menu it's not big enough.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, not good to eat zombie jerky. It will make you "turn".

 

[DanHoo]

So I'll have to become a vegetarian?

 

[Bruce]

Or a zombie!

 

[Tony Coloma]

Yes, I sold it.

If I had known, i would have bought it for my brother. Darn. Really nice work. You the man. Which this site is loaded with. (Both male and female.) Well if any one has one that nice, make sure I see the ad.

My brother has been messing around with off brands. Such a waste, but not enough cash to splash on new ones. What a beauty

I really don't need a stick welder...

Hi Tom,

Do the platypus grills disassemble easily? It doesn’t look like it folds up

I don't it folds up.

Here's a link to a posting with the bowl replacement instructions.

Weber Charcoal Platinum with 2 side tables, how do I replace the bowl?

Hi Guys and Gals, it has been a long time since I have posted, but I still stop by now and then. The bowl on my platinum needs to be replaced, and I do have a new one from Weber. My question is, it seems as though it is only held in place with 2 screws? Is this accurate? I am going to try and...

It’s not that hard to break one down.

I’ll have to defer to the knowledge of others on this one. I’m such a gasser guy that I haven’t even used the Char Q that I just had to have.

One thing about the platypus is it looks WAY more stable than the 3 leg ones. I've owned a couple of 3 legs from brand new. And I always hated how wobbly they are. If I found a platypus I might grab one for a "backyard" grill

 

[Jon Tofte]

It is more stable and has a smaller footprint then the Performer. I also like that it has tables on both sides, even if they are relatively small. It apparently was a market failure, but I like them very much. A lot of people complain about the center vent/front handle. I suppose an upgrade would be to replace the lid with a conventional one and add a hinge for the lid in the back instead of using the rear lid bale.
