Hey guys just wanted to say hi. I've been stalking the forums for a few weeks reading reviews. Decided to purchase a new highland then ended up getting this origional for free instead. So this is my project. Will share results as I go.
Can't wait to use it. Will be looking for some advice on sealing it up after its cleaned up. The FB has some leaks from the lid (appears warped) also from the side door on the fire box. Will also need to replace grates I'm guessing not sure with what. I don't have a welder so I wont be able to weld angle in to hold a new grate.
Had it burning some old charcoal to loosen up the years of gunk that was sitting inside it. Got up to 490 in the CC rolling black smoke before I choked off the fire. Scraped it after and have started outside wire wheeling.
Thanks for looking!
