    Not bad for a “dumpster dive”

    Found this in our dumpster Sunday afternoon and remembered a few threads on here about repairing them by cleaning out the pilot hole and blowing out the lines. I had bought pipe cleaner and compressed air ready to get to work, to my surprise and pleasure it fired up on the 1st attempt! The knob is a bit finicky and the piezo lighter may be going out, but I usually keep a long barrel safety flame lighter in my pack anyway.

    No pic. Is it a buddy heater?

      Good find. I would have dove in for that.

          Good find. Owner probably didn't know anything about them and just chunked it

            That's some good dumpster lottery right there. Good find.

                  Dumpster was almost empty and I fished it out with an old 2 prong weeded hoe, using the prongs to snag the grate.

                      From one garbage grabber to another, you definitely scored. Keep up the good work.

                          I have retrieved a perfectly good Plano hard gun case which my son uses and now this Mr Buddy. I’ve got an idea which neighbor it is, but can’t figure out why the toss perfectly good items out

                            Well done. I’ve got a friend that chunks stuff he doesn’t need anymore. I try to be there when he does, so I can “haul it off” for him. [emoji4]

                              Good find! I once looked over and saw a bag of Unopened Winchester 12ga. Wads. I grabbed them and found the rest of it...a mec loader and a brick of WW shotshells primers, and 300 blue peters hulls. Best find I ever had!
