Weber Flame Gas Fireplace

[Adam Moser]

I have an opportunity to buy one of these. I've never even heard of them before, but it seems really cool and rare, which makes me want it. The guy says he has the side panels, but the top piece is missing. Anyone have any idea how hard it would be to fabricate a new top? Looks like a thin sheet of metal could be bent to fit fairly easily. He's willing to go down to $125 since the top is missing. Sounds like these things were expensive new, but $125 still seems like a lot. Is it worth it?

The bottom looks rough in that pic. Seeing that it is missing the top, I would not spend $125 for it, however you are
correct they are rare. If you really want one, this may be your only chance for quite some time.
Here is another good thread to show you what the top looks like ....

I believe the tops are ceramic coated like weber lids. However, I suppose you could easily get by with another type of fabricated metal. That being said, I would not pay $125 for it. I think they were $600 new however.

Those things are pretty sweet. I'd offer a clean hundred for that one.
