Need some help on this one. Got this Weber/ Ducane for free including a cover. It’s in remarkable shape no rust or corrosion. Has an inferred back burner a never used side burner and never used rotisserie. The burners look great as do the flavorizer bars and heavy SS grills.
My dilemma is I know nothing about Ducanes except they were a high end grill. I know they were bought by Weber and made in China and now discontinued.
So does anyone have any experience with these? Is it worth cleaning up. I got to work fast because if I want to keep it I’ve got to come up with a plan to convince Barb.
Update:
Found out why the guy gave it away, no gas flow so it wouldn't lite. Plus a strong gas odor when you opened the tank valve. Replaced the regulator and bingo we got fire and everything works perfectly. Will start the cleanup this coming week.
Got it cleaned up and now to drag it through the house into the backyard, going to be fun cuz this things a tank.
