In 1990 i bought a Broilmaster P3 Gasser. Their catchphrase is "buy your last grill today". They were right.
34 years later, That grill is still in my yard working fine. I had to rebuild the shelves a couple of years ago as the wood ones got pretty beat up.
Because we expect people to have a sense of humor.
Trust me, if theres one thing this forum doesn't have, its a sense of humor.
Looks a lot like my Sunbeam gasser. Cast aluminum body, originally with redwood shelves. Painted a couple times, new H-burner every 10 years or so. Porcelain grates replaced with stainless 5 years ago. Circa 1990 and still going strong...

Oh WOW..... I had one of those and it was indeed a workhorse. I actually tried to convert it to a smoker set up with an exhaust stack (rain damper too) and a wood chip box. As time wore on it became more of a hassle to repair - especially those "briquettes" you laid in the bottom.
I ended up tossing the clam shell and redoing all the wood work. Then mounted my turkey fryer on it with push button ignition and made a gas cooktop. I still have that for various outdoor cooking purposes. I'll hunt around for some pics and post.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.... :thumb:
I'm still using lava rocks. I think I'll treat it to some ceramic briquettes this year. Two burners, it'll do "indirect" if I want. And does it get hot? Oh, yeah.
