Weber 18 Rescue.

Found this little guy in my alley right by the garbage cans. I forgot t take a before pic but it was filthy.
A hose down and a good scrub and scrape..good as new!! It is a little older model as it is before the One Touch
system. But for free...what the heck I don't care.

Giving it a good hot dry run and then I'll scrape again. I have been wanting an 18 as I left my old one for the new owners
of my country house when I sold it. Serendipity....eh....

I've got more chance of finding a UFO parked in my back yard than coming across such a luck.
Nice pick up.

Nice FIND! My wife doesn't understand why I have my redhead Lucille, and a performer (Uptown Louie), and am looking for the right 14 or 18 to build the smoker - Riverbed Louis. Hey - I'm in the LOU!

Wood handle! WoW!
I'm sure you're familiar with the weber kettle club. They have age chart and restore instructions. They also have someone who makes handles. http://weberkettleclub.com/determine-age-of-old-grill/

Aging was one of the first things I did. It is from 1979.

I’ve never actually seen someone use "my country house" In a sentence before outside of a novel. 😂

Congrats on the new grill! The wood handle is cool.
