My newest oldest grill

I recently picked up a 1966 Sazco Kamado. It's the first kamado to be granted a US patent. It was stored in a barn for 25+ years and is in excellent condition. I polished the aluminum lower damper door, replaced the cracked ceramic top damper with a Kamado Joe daisy wheel, replaced gasket, and patched a few minor cracks in the fire box. I also drilled a holle for the thermometer, talk about being nervous! It works great and you'd never know it was 45 years old.

Here is a brisket on it a month or so ago.

Its grate is 18" and all together it weighs about 170lb.

'm not sure how to rotate these pictures!

Just turn your head to the left. It works out.

I didn't even know those thing had been aronud nearly that long. That looks amazing. Nice find.

What did you pay for it?

I've been eyeing my local craigslist for a used Green Egg; they show up now and again but are expensive.

Love the red!

And ultravista, you should snap that BGE up pronto if you find one!

I paid $150 for it on Ebay and drove about an hour to pick it up. They're were a few people bidding on it but shipping was $200 bucks or something crazy. The guy from the Naked Whiz contacted me and would like to buy it if I ever decide to part with it.

Its actually bright orange, pic doesn't show that very well.

Looks like a Green Egg! Vintage and sexy
