Amazing what's bout to be thrown away

Hello BITOG faithful. Before heading back home this morning, my fathers friend, fisherman, trapper, save it, use it up or do without and "town recycler" as we call him found this WEBER "H" charcoal grill out for trash pickup at a home while picking witch hazel. Asked me if I wanted it and I said yes. Took the legs off and put in the ole Jeeper and it has a new home. I dusted it off and cleaned the grates and oiled the vents. Glad I have friends and great people like Herman(that's his name)

one man's trash....

Yeah, least I will put it to use

Those are nice grills, I had one over 20 years old, sat in weather it's whole life, replaced it when one of the grates rusted out.

That is an older one with the nice wood handles instead of plastic.

Good save! There's a lot of life left in that one.

 

[53' Stude]

Yep, cleaned grates off well and out some high temp engine paint on them and let them cure overnight

I did the same thing with the same grill. Our weber was rusted and the recycling yard had one with no lid.

Our lid was good.

My b-i-l thanked me for buying a new Weber. I didn't have the heart to correct him.

Job transfers, Divorce, illness, and death lead to a lot of perfectly good items going into the dumpster. I knew someone that had a side gig of dumpster diving at the end of each collage semester. It was amazing what he found. New TVs, radios, perfectly sell-able books, plates, silverware, the list goes on and on.

Sweet. An older one with 2 wood handles and old style lower vent. Now move the legs around so a handle is in the front.
Also get an ash catcher or you'll catch your yard on fire (ask me how I know).

I am using a old steel coffee can for ash catcher

Maxwell House blue can?

 

[53' Stude]

No, it's a ancient red FOLGERS 3lb can

. Funny how coffee came in steel cans, now it's in plastic and you get less lbs

You can bring the "cowboy charcoal" which I love. I'll supply the jalapeno's, green peppers, green tomatoes and ripe tomatoes

Nice, my propane grill looks like it was salvaged from the Titanic, and I'm still hanging onto it, though I'm not really sure why.

 

[53' Stude]

LOL!
