I will just leave this here


 
This is the first worthwhile restoration candidate I have seen in months:

Most other ones have always been at around $100 or way way more.

But although I stopped getting gas grills I could not resist that one:

Those 2 are sad. Since I don't have a parts depot it would cost me way too much to bring the first back to usable and the second is the cost I charge for a restored one. I do LOVE the yellow simpsons baby Joe. It is sooo cute! Did you buy that or make it?

Oops. My bad. I just looked at the headline where it said $60 for a Weber grill. This is the max I would spent.
But I did restore one like the first one. But in average I made 1 from 2 grills. I did accumulate a bunch of parts with spare grills. So whenever I found an old grill for free or even for $20 to $30 I would grab it. Just for parts. But since last year these cheap grill seem to have disappeared.
I bought the Smokey Joe. A few few years ago Weber brought out a Special edition for the 10th anniversery of the Simpsons. They came out with a yellow 22" and yellow Smokey Joe. The 22" in new condition can go for several hundred dollars. Some collectors pay crazy prices for rare kettles.
 
Yes I have seen that one. There are a few nut cases out there. Like this Smokey Joe for $900.

People don't even buy the ones listed for around $200. They are rare but not that rare.
 
I don't know what people are thinking when it comes to trying to sell their grill.

Yah, I get a chuckle out of the adds for grills nearly daily. Sometimes I laugh over and over at the same add because the grills are sure not to sell the way they advertise them.

Looks like a great rehab candidate. As long as parts are all present and in good working order, that would be a nice one.
