"For sale or trade weber smokey mountain smoker
This ones a few years old
But in very good condition
I'm looking to sell or trade it
I will only trade it for something else weber
Most likely a red kettle or one other then black
Let me know what you have
Only weber stuff
Selling price would be $225"
I have but one coloured Kettle and I love that thing. I wasn't going to go for the deal but a buddy made a few points - I have 2 other Kettles, the blue one cost me $50, I do not have a 18 inch WSM, got a 22 WSM but not the more efficient easier to travel with smaller one and....if I did not go for it he would take to calling my blue OTG "the 340 dollar cooker".....as that is what a new 18 inch WSM goes for up here in Canada.
So I messaged the fella last night and he asked for a picture this morning. Damn I really like that blue Kettle...and I read somewhere they discontinued the colour as of this year? I was at a big bbq place in Toronto a couple months back and they had blue ones.
Edit: Well it is the day after I sent the fella a picture of my blue. I just checked the site where he had his ad and it is gone and I have recieved no return e-mail. The BLUE stays with poppa. Too bad about the WSM but I get to keep my kettle - my consolation prize is beauty.
Hoss you only have $50 in the blue, trade it. Yes, they were discontinued but if you know a store that has them buy a new one for $150. Still less than the $225 the guys is advertising and less than a new 18 WSM.k
I think it makes sense to trade as shipping a wsm to you would cost more than shipping a OTG should you want to replace it. Not to mention the wsm is rarer to find on CL. Sounds like both of you will be happy so that's a win-win!
