.....like?

The extra button by the igniter that appears to go directly to the side of the manifold. I thought maybe that was added later but it is shown on picture on the owners manual. Maybe an emergency shut off or fuel prime if that's even a thing for LP. The tank hanger wheels are much lower. The slats on the bottom are running the long way but they are skinny slats instead of wide. The control panel is different..

I thought I had seen that piece included with a grill that Cody had posted pictures of. I asked Paul about it, but he didn't recognize the part in question at the time anyway. Edit: I went back and found the picture of the piece in question and it doesn't look to close to the one you found.View attachment 122997

That piece still boggles my mind.

Me too. Did you ever attempt to see if it could be used as a tank holder like the one on the JR. Josh posted?

I put it everywhere I could think of. But nowhere I put it, could I make it make sense.

Sometimes you just get pieces of garage junk when you pick up these old grills.

We could probably have a full thread dedicated to the junk and treasures we find in old grills.

 

[Bruce]

LOL. That is a good idea Josh. I sincerely wish I had saved everything that came with the grills I have picked up that were not original or direct replacement parts.

Like the fork buried in the grease and crud filled large drip tray? I remember that one! If it could only talk and tell its story. Not as bad as the dead mouse in the drip tray of my Vieluxe at least!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, that was a classic. That was early on in my rehabbing days.
I have picked up several with mouse nests in them. I don't actual mice though in a rehab pickup.

OK JOsh. Contest over. You win. Hand out the trophies now.

He had a buddy also in my 50+ year old Charmglow. I don't think the owner has used it for a while.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I know I have found a lot of strange things. Some useful with value and lots of odd junk. I'd be curious what others have come across.

My best find was a wasp nest… I didn’t discover it until I got back in the van after I loaded it and drove to work. When I got in van to go home there were a few wasps swarming around inside.

That taught me to do a more thorough look over before loading up. Still shocked I didn’t get stung loading or unloading.

Definitely NOT a nice surprise

My Vieluxe had an abandoned mouse nest in the smoker box and an active wasp nest, too. The seller dealt with the wasps before my friend and I hauled it away.
