Here is my version frying hamburgers on Basswood in October.  Will also hold 4 large ribeyes or a double batch of hamburger helper. It was a Sunbeam but I don't remember the model #.  The coil was also very hard to get off and it took several hours with a chisel, angle grinder and an air powered muffler cutter.  This model is aluminum with a stainless steel cooking surface, so no seasoning needed.  Got a Coughlan's pot lifter handle and it worked great.  Unfortunately there were no walleyes on this trip but I have used it on the gas range at home and it will hold a big mess of bluegill fillets.

Thanks arnesr for the project and pics!
