Smoke, I was planning on getting a Webber kettle this Spring but after seeing your new PK grill, this may have changed my plans altogether!   8)

Please keep an eye on my PK adventures in this ongoing thread. Maybe you can grab a kettle and a PK next spring.

Here is another Char- Broil that was found in a dumpster by a fellow on another forum.



Picture of the inside with the cast iron grates which I have never seen before in this grill.

Dave, that's the same model as my original aluminum Char-Broil grill I had in the 70s
it's the late 70s~80s model that had the slide out ash drawer on the bottom, to make it easier to clean up after a grill
but the ash drawer killed it as a good indirect cooker. too much air leakage all around the drawer
mine also had the cast iron grates
it was a SERIOUS grilling machine, but that's all it was good for
the earlier model I have now with the solid bottom and just the 4 vents is THE aluminum cooking machine
and like my OldSmokey, it's so light, I just pick it up and dump the ashes out of it after a cook

btw- I still have the grate lifting tool that came with that grill ;)
