I just picked up this Char-Q. It doesn't look like much now but I'm excited to put my personal touch on the Custom Restoration.

Thanks Bruce! I want to do color changes so paint is happening regardless. I will clean up the grates but I am getting new grates. Probably Q240 grates or Q2400

I have a new set of Qulimetal Q2200 grates but I think I will get new Q240 or Q2400 electric Q grates

I'm going to order all new custom wood handles from Brian for the handle, air vent and ash dump. Similar to the handles I ordered for my Performer. Also custom paint job.

I think I had found some. Are you looking for grates or do you already have a source for them?

Yeah you know me also. I'll be seeking a cheaper option.

I was considering swapping frames for a newer one on my Q2200 for the added Weber logo on it and sleeker look but it looks like the Char-Q logo starter button cover won't work on that frame so I probably won't bother unless I decide to make a new button cover.
Also just ordered my custom wood handles from Brian.

Josh, if you decide to change out the plug with the CharQ logo on it, keep in mind that this part is no longer available and frequently missing on old CharQs. It has definite value.
On the grate, why not grind the original down to raw cast iron if needed and then season? I think it would be a lot better than a thinner porcelain coated new one.

Excellent suggestions Jon thank you! I'll see how good I can get these grates and then I'll get back to you.

Actually I agreed to purchase this Char Q under the impression that that piece was missing. I only had one picture to go by and it wasn't on the grill. When I picked it up and opened it it was sitting inside on the grates. Pleasant surprise to say the least. Before I was leaving to pick it up I was considering my options of maybe doing a frame change to a newer frame but now that I have it and I have the Char Q logo piece I see no reason to switch frames.
