Look what's happening to my old gasser. Non-use and Florida humidity are creating a mess. I don't even have any interest in cleaning it up, the egg has my full attention now.  Think I may try to give it away to one of the neighbors!

    I use mine to store stuff.  Occasionally I will use it as a warmer.

    that is a rough environment for a metal grill.  sad to see it in that state.  i would love to be one of your neighbors to receive the gift.  i feel those old style weber are the best ones, they look really good cleaned up.

    My gasser hit the curb two weeks ago and it was gone within the hour.

    Thats an old Silver B model. I have gotten many years of service from it. Its old enough that the propane bottles are not supposed to be filled anymore (think I got it in 2000). The frame and metal top and bottom are in good shape. It the cast iron grate and Flavorizer Bars that are really rusty, but still usable with some, ok a lot, of cleanup.

    Had a few decent gassers (covered religiously)  and FL was never kind to them. Adios gassers.

    It's not a gasser, but I still cook on a wore out and broken down Weber.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Many years ago, I owned a gasser that used lava rocks instead of those bogus flavorizor bars. It was an excellent grill. If I ever find a neighbor willing to donate his gasser, I plan to convert to lava and see what happens. Sure is quicker and easier than charcoal. And the food was excellent! But don't tell anyone I said that!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Me too. The lava rocks were a gift that kept on giving if you didn't leave the grill on for 10 minutes or so after a drippy cook. They soaked up the fat and slowly released for the next cook. I liked those ceramic briquettes - they stayed cleaner and did the same thing to regulate the heat distribution and slow the flare ups.
    My old Broil King has a flavorbar and I've been watching for a rack to try the brand new box of ceramic I did not know I had until stumbled over it while cleaning the shed.  

    @jtcBoynton - that is one sorry looking grill, even for a gasser.

    I have medium egg and a KJ classic that I use for most cooks.  A Weber kettle and a Weber gas grill are on standby.  I use them when I have large cooks.  For example,  a couple of weeks ago, I cooked for 50  The kettle was used for additional wings.  The gas grill is useful for vegetables and rotisserie cooking.  You can never had too much grill space.

    I gave my gasser away last year. I gave my charcoal grill away last weekend.
