$20 plus about $12 in gas to drive out and pick it up.
Pick or Skip?
Definitely. If it doesn’t come off with a hose and sponge it probably will with a power washer.
Curious what ‘C stamped’ means.
If you know the prices of Weber’s when new, you’d know that’s a steal! All it needs is a good scrubbing, then to fire it up and let it burn whatever is left on the interior. You can get new grates from Weber online or from one of the major hardware stores (Lowe’s, Home Depot).
Looks like it is just dirty AF. Are there bottom vent controls? Regardless, it’s worth grabbing.
Missing the ash catching pan. clean up looks pretty straightforward but would take a power washer or a wire brush with a drill
I kind of doubt the bottom is rusted out, but check that out before buying. That would be a deal breaker. If it’s just dirty a little elbow grease will clean it right up. I have one of a similar vintage and it’s still going strong.
Even if the kettle is rusted out it’s worth $20 for a good wood handled lid.
Oh, for sure! Just rub it with bacon, it’ll be like new 😁
