I will just leave this here

Just listed for free in Newton, MA. Looks to be in great condition, but needs a cleaning:

I have a LED headlamp that charges with a USB. That allows me to work in the dark.

My fashion ship sailed long ago so it’s ok to look like a geek now…

Honestly never thought to use my head lamp

I have, but just like my spatulas and thermometers and every other grilling gadget/accessory, I forget to put it back when I am done and it winds up in one of my bottomless drawers.

I know a couple people on here were looking for a nice bench grinder. I stumbled on to this one on FB Market. Looks like a helluva find

@Josh Dekubber how do you clean the grease that is always on the top exterior ends of the cook box on these Spirits?

I use my DeWalt XR impact with different wire wheel attachments to grind down to aluminum and then I wash with a mixture of Simple Green and Dawn dish soap to remove and residual grease residue.

I picked up a used DeWalt impact for my other house but it was a lower model impact not the XR and it wasn't powerful enough so I'll have to get another XR or take it back and forth. I believe I've had my XR for over a decade and I've been very hard on it. It's still going strong. It really does the work for me.

Do you wire wheel off the exterior paint off of the cook box to get the grease off?

No not always. On my vintage restorations I will remove all the paint from the exterior. Except on my barn find that was already in perfect condition.

Here's a cook box from my Redhead 2000. I did grind the lower section of the cook box after I took this photo to remove all of the paint. I enjoy the process.

Who has seen one of these before? The seller says it's new from this year. Where do they come from?

The patch was a Limited Edition so I believe it sold out, but the T-shirt has a notify me link.

Are you asking where did that logo originally come from?
I did a search and found this 1959 Weber Ranch Kettle with an original foil sticker from Weber on the lower utility shelf.

I knew it was an old design, I've seen it before. I was just wondering where the new ones came from. I think Samuel probably has the right info on it.

Thanks Steve,
If you make it a point to check it once and a while, they sell out, and then repopulate the site with new items. I know I have bought Weber t-shirts there in the past.

So a co-worker knows that I do the grill thing. He asked if I would be willing to help him "freshen up" his grill. He is admittedly not very mechanically inclined, and it is a Charmglow. He said his grates are heavy duty but don't fit right, and that the middle igniter doesn't work. I have never heard of these, and thought I would ask the grill collective if you think it's worth sticking money into, or if he would be better suited purchasing a different one... what are your guys thoughts?

Thanks!

If it’s real old from the 1970’s it would be interesting.

Other than that, just a fancy Brinkman grill.

Probably time for a Weber.

Here is an old one that I would like to have

 

[Cody Bratton]

He said he still has the owners manual. He is bringing it to me tonight (the manual). But I am guessing it is newer, in the 10 year old range.

This came up in Joe's Alfresco grill thread and I figured I'd drop it here so others could see it.....

Ignitor tip with no gas catcher --- two for $10

Amazon.com

I'm betting that it would feed into the existing hole for the ignitor box of any X000/A/B/C grill - may have to drill it out a bit(?).
It would be easy enough to attach the ground lead to the bug screen/shield screw or affix with a hose clamp to the front burner.

I think we all can conclude that the 'gas catcher box' is not a critical piece except to have a ground point for the spark since they will still work with just a sliver of metal left...... My 1000 had no box left and the electrode was just sitting in the there next to the burner and it still worked ---- until you moved the grill and it slid out of place.

Its odd that there is no ground lead included nor does it look like there is a second connection on the sparkers.....
