My workshop disaster

From the outside, the closed door looks OK, if and when I actually do some washing of the metal. You can see the opening at the base that needs to be closed to keep the weather out. For the front carport, I used a heavy flashing plastic so corrosion wouldn't be a problem. It's worked OK out front and only once in a while do I have to put it back in place at one of the ends.

The interior still has lots of clean-up to get done. Maybe it will get done - another "round to it".
From the inside, the new tin shows more color difference because the smoke from years of cooking on the old gas grill covers the tin. Need to do some washing in here more than the outside.

Ran out of propane a few days ago and had to substitute a 30 pound for the usual 20 pound propane cylinder. Had to finish the steaks on the grill.

This gas grill looks OK from the outside, but there have been a few explosions while trying to light the damn thing. The interior is almost completely rotted out and the igniters don't work. Too many grates to remove to light the thing with a striker. The heavy propane drops into the under cabnet and detonates eventually. A scary situation!



Well, it's another day and some small accomplishment. This is the replacement gas grill that looks quite similar to the old one. Close, but has more stainless inside - like stainless burners, supports, and igniter covers. Last one that Sears had on the floor for this model that I felt comfortable with the price. Most of the accessories for the old fit the new. Still don't have filled 20 pound propane tank, so I haven't changed it's virgin status. When I tried to load this monster in the truck under the cap, it was too tall. The sales clerk realized that it was simple to remove the top and it fit nicely. The next issue was getting it out of the truck at home. Fortunately, a neighbor was at home to help. I can't lift anything like this yet, so I used a 2X6 10 feet long and both of us slid the thing to the ground. Problem solved and no one was hurt. No dents in the new gas grill either!
