I will just leave this here

Well, if you really want a unicorn project, that would be a "Go get it". But I still think it would be a really tough flip due to being permanent mount and NG to boot.

If the lid doesn’t have fade and the grease tray is good, those alone would almost be worth it

They just dropped the price to $75 on the built in grill

Is only been listed a few hours

Grab it Cody

I love this group of enablers

I would like to see it rehabbed rather than parted out. But saving it from the land fill is key.

I agree

Sometimes it's hard not to pick them up based on this reason alone

I wonder how the base of that grill is. I know from talk on this forum that plain steel doesn't do good over concrete and that grill has been basically attached to that slab of concrete for 30 years.

 

[Cody Bratton]

This is what has me nervous. And while it’s not impossible to fix, it would be fairly difficult to rebuild that piece.

But I will say, it has definitely withstood the test of time. If that’s the worst of the rust for 30 years, that’s impressive

I just saw that on Facebook myself, very cool grill.

Does anyone have pictures all the way around a 5000. I'm curious what the sides and back are enclosed with

There has to be several pictures on here of them, they are steel panels though.

I just found some Steve thank you. Also wondering if this is the same one that was given away a year ago. He says he restored it a year ago

I'd like to do a enclosed 1000 with two glass panels on the front to accommodate the smaller frame

Now that would be cool, especially if you could make it look just like a baby version of the 5000.

I think I remember somebody saying they had two pieces of extra glass and a third one was broken

Absolutely make it look like it could have come from the factory that way

I think it was Jon Tofte. There would need to be some measuring done to see if they could work on a 1000 frame.

Maybe Josh’s Midwest trip is getting bumped up?

I expect there will be free 5000 showing up shortly in the pacific northwest with one broken glass panel.
