I have an old Q100 that has been a workhorse for me. Handy to use when upstairs or when we are cooking and heading out the door and not taking the time to artfully grill on the kettle.
I've moved the Q100 down to the boat for rafting/floating grilling. Been in the market for a replacement Q. Found one on CL, a pretty clean Q2000 with 2-piece enameled cast iron grates, cover, 10lb refillable tank, and accessory hose to attach to tank. I picked the whole caboodle up for $45. That pretty good?

sounds like a deal to me

I’d say so, that tank alone can cost that much or more. Congrats! Pictures?

Sounds like a good deal to me. I picked up a red Q2000 earlier this year for $30 but had no cover or hose. These are great little grills but I rarely use mine. I’ve thought of a stand for one which might make me more likely to use it.

Thanks. Sure.
I'm not sure what the additional drill hole behind the handle was for. Thermometer? I haven't seen any Q2000 images with one though. :shrug:

Is the hole on the front for a thermometer?

I dunno. I don't think so, most Q2000's with a thermometer have them set into a beveled niche on the apex of the front fascia. It's a very cleanly drilled hole. I'm gonna use it for an ambient grill temp probe wire. The guy I got it from said he bought it from an estate sale for $75 a year ago and never used it, so he was looking to offload it.

Mine's actually a 2100 and the thermometer is higher and is in a beveled area....Not sure what the intent of the hole was unless it was a mod for a temp probe which could easily go in either side where there is venting clearance.

Yeah, it looks like it’s perfect to get the temp near grate level. Post some pics of your first cook!
