So, I bought a 1988 black 18.5 NIB on Ebay. Paid $61 - about $100 all-in with shipping. It's in transit. Need some advice.
My dad asked me to find him a good charcoal grill, and I really think the best one for him is an older green or blue performer. I think he'd love the gas start. I just missed on a perfect one, and no tellin' when another will come along.
So, I'm thinking of giving him this NIB '88. This will be his primary cooker. 1988 was my freshman year of college, so that might be meaningful to him.
Am I crazy to put this pristine grill into play as an every day cooker? Should I keep looking for a performer and keep the '88 in its untouched form? Or to hell with that, this grill was meant to cook, let's fire her up & make some memories?
I think I know the answer. What would YOU do?
