Just purchased a New BK ashford 20.2 to replace my trusty Resolute for which I have the original receipt from the factory in September 1985. It has been with me in the same house in California for all this time and it kinda bothers me to say goodbye.
It does have a cracked lower fireback but is in otherwise decent shape. Even has both dragon shelves with mitten warmers. Never touched except for griddle and door gaskets, it has served me well during our moderate winters in the Bay Area.
So what do I do….. dismember an old friend and piece him out, sell it to a rebuilder, rebuild it myself, take him to the dump for recycling, or try to find a good home where he can be still be of use?
Anyone out there in carbon black land have a suggestion?
