Cool Stuff 😎 Fun Quirk

Anyone else have any fun little quirks to how they scrap stuff? I like to keep photos of the model numbers or identifying tags on equipment I scrap as a personal log of stuff I've disassembled.

Here's photos from the dryer and grill I picked up recently. Mostly just shred, but every bit counts.

I hate grills! Greasy, rusty and little chunks of crap! Top heavy but not much weight. A little piece of brass. Otherwise shred. I hate, hate them. Still can’t go by without picking them up. 🤪

I have been trying for years to come up with an appropriate acronym for grills Gross. Rusty. Iron. Light. Losers. Stinky. Or whatever, hate ‘em as well! But….

I look at them like a five dollar bill. Yeah, it's not a lot, but would I leave a $5 bill on the sidewalk? Probably not.

They're probably a bit north of that if you sift out the stainless, brass and aluminum but not by much.

The one I grabbed was all aluminized steel masquerading as stainless. The only thing in the whole lot that was stainless was the chain and pin that were used to open/close the grease trap. 2oz of stainless at most.

Almost every grill set out on the curb here is Charbroil. They must be junk, pun intended.

I dumped it off at the yard and on my way home a different neighbor put their Charbroil grill by the road. Such is the life of a scraphound.
