How old is this PK?
« Reply #-1 on: April 03, 2018, 04:10:39 PM »
Bought it for $75 off Craigslist. The guy said he had it 10 years and it had been in the family for a long time. It has no shelves and has a heavy duty cast iron charcoal grate.

I found a similar one in this ad from 1970 which lists it as PK-315-M.

I contacted PK and they were no help.

Not that I've found. I plan on cleaning it up with a nylon brush drill attachment and using it. I'm just really curious how old it is.

I don't think they numbered them.

I would think they would be more helpful at PK.  Call back and ask for Martha. Hopefully she is still with the company.

Your unit was probably made in Tyler Texas.

You scored. You have a nice pc of grillings past.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy. One of the lower vents is a little loose. Looks like it's been that way since it was manufacturered. Otherwise it's in great shape.
