Saw it while driving a van for work. Spent my lunch break driving this thing back to my house.

It's got some rust, the existing paint is faded, and the thermometer is shot.

So I got a wire wheel for my grinder, a couple cans of high temp flat black paint, and a couple universal thermometers.

It's far from perfect, but it looks great from 10 feet away, and it only cost me like $20 n supplies!

I've never owned a grill before, believe it or not. Let alone a smoker, or anything to do with charcoal. But so far I love it.

Made lots of hotdogs to practice getting it hot and running it. Made steak for my friends, with some guidance, and the consensus was "tasty!"

I grew up eating my very Alabaman dads ribs off a nearly identical one! He still has it like three decades later, his has wooden slats on the front instead of the metal grid and he's had to replace them as they weather but otherwise it's held up great.
