Found a Free DuKane Grill!

[navionjim]

Not to get to far afield from smoking meat, but a good grill is nice to have too. I was on mt way home yesterday and a neighbor was loading some bug things at the end of his driveway for the trash service to pick up. I noticed he had a two burner DuKane Grill next to the trash and he was looking to off that too! So it's now in my Garage awaiting inspection this weekend. Doesn't look too bad at all, it needs some new ceramic "rocks" and maybe a new burner element, but that's much cheaper than what those things cost new!

I 'Member the old man gettin the new Ducane with the "Vertigrate" system. Seems it was 5C in 1976...

Yepper, he was getting rid of it because his wife came home with one of those stainless steel monsters from Sam's. They were doing a back yard remodel job, admittedly those monsters from Sam's are nice, but I've always liked the DuCaines too, my last one made it 20 years before dissolving into a pile of rust in the Texas humidity. The steel base literally collapsed, but the base on this one looks solid and the burners don't even look bad. I'll know more this weekend.
