Hi Mary,

Roll up your sleeves, get yourself some 400grit sandpaper and oven cleaner.

Now, if the barbecue is rusty or the paint is peeling, sand it until it's smooth. Then hop in your car, go to the hardware store and ask the clerk in the paint dept. for a spray can of black heat resistant paint. Then go back , use masking tape to mask off the parts you dont want to get paint on.

Now spray the barbecue. Viola! It'll look new again.

On the inside of the barbecue, use the oven cleaner to get all the gunk off, or at least the worst of it. People will understand a little gunk on the inside. After all, it is used and sold as is.

That $10 - $15 you thought you could get just turned into $40 - $60.

Oh, be careful you don't get any elbow grease on it though ;-)
