Weber 18 Rescue.

[troymeister]

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....

[Spinaker]

Congrats on the new rig! Nice find!

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

[troymeister]

Finding a UFO would certainly be interesting too

[RonB]

And UFOs are the right shape. Just sayin'

[troymeister]

RonB Close Encounters With the Weber Kind...Lol..

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!

[Mr. Bones]

Great Score, Brother!

[troymeister]

If this keeps up, pretty soon my yard is going to look like yours
Though that might take a while.

[Mr. Bones]

LOL! Yup, could happen, but I'd haveta say yer runnin a purty distant 2nd Place, at present!
I love my 18.5", jus th right size fer certain tasks...

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/

[troymeister]

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

[Troutman]

Sweeet !!!

[Texas Larry]

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Congratulations on your treasure.

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.
