It has some rust along the bottom seam.  I want to take it off the base to make sure I clean it all up.  It will be a while, we have been getting rain every day since I picked it up.

Their built like tanks - it will clean up nicely and that rust is nothing more that a bit of surface rust.
Mine was much worse and I was able to restore it to near new.
Kinda wish I didn't sell it but had too many smokers

Were you the guy that tore the grill apart, cleaned every piece, custom painted it, and made it look better than new?

See.

I saw your work and was very impressed. I think you made it better than new.  I agree that I don't have near the work you had.  My cart is in good shape, the Yoder plates need to be lightly sanded and painted. I purchased a gasket kit and new face plate decal.

Did you change your faceplate decal? How hard was it to do?

Thanks

See.

WoW!  cant believe he sold that after all that effort

I did not change it, just polished it, but I did remove it.
All you need to do is drill out the rivets - very simple as they are aluminum so really soft.  Use a bit just a little bigger than the diameter of the rivet shaft and go slowly with light pressure.
Then you just need to re-rivet it, again simple as long as you have/get the tool.
Have fun!

Too many grills, smokers and bbqs - Made a nice profit and used it to buy my PK360
I do miss the competition cart and how easy it was to move around on my stone walkway/patio!

Glad you are happy with how it ended up.

I am sorry, I was talking about the decal on the controller panel.  Yoder sells a replacement for $5.95 and I purchased it.  The spot for the switch is not cut out.  I was wondering if you changed that out.

Sorry, nope - cleaned and it came up like new but should be a simple replacement.
Just use a sharp knife to do the cutout (use the old one as your template)

I thought the same thing, you did a FANTASTIC job on that, man it was pretty!

I always wonder when someone sells a unit like this at such a price, I just have to believe that pellet smoke was not for them!

I bought a Camp Chef SE to start.  I wanted to make sure I liked cooking with pellets before I would buy an expensive pellet grill.

Got it finished up.  Attached are the pics

Nice score!

Nice!  That was a great deal and your refurb made it even a better deal!
