I will just leave this here

I see so many grills with bricks and pavers in the bottom tray.

Saw one with logs on the bottom just the other day. I'm guessing people do that to keep the grill from blowing over?

That's what I was thinking.

That or maybe to prop up a second cook level?

Just look at those whitewalls!!

I was just looking at that one. Hard to know how much he wants for it. Reasonable offer?

 

[Cody Bratton]

The white walls alone would probably get $25-30 from me. If the rest of it is as solid as it appears, for a keeper I would probably be willing to go up to $100. It looks really nice. The fat slats all look salvageable to me.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

If that control panel is in good shape. Those are my favorite paired with the black knobs.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Those white walls won't survive being pulled off to recondition the wheel and reinstalled. But the wheels are worth having and getting new inserts.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I'm thinking he probably wants about $200

 

[Bruce]

Throw out an offer and see what happens.

That one is a true survivor. Ones of that vintage are getting pretty hard to find still intact.

Looks pretty darn good for an early first generation

I have gotten some pretty brittle ones out that looked far worse for the wear but have yet to try on a fatty. Are they held in similarly to the narrow ones?

I've taken them out quite carefully I don't think it's possible to reuse them unless you glue them back in or something hokey like that. The second generation ones yes you can reuse
