Title: Should I buy? - Kettle and SJ Craigslist find
Post by: tb80 on March 06, 2014, 05:45:52 AM
A craigslist seller is willing to sell me the grills in the pics for $15 combined.  The red weber has no legs.  Think it is worth it?

I have had good luck with a shower curtain pole fitting in the sockets perfectly. Cut them up and then you can buy the legs caps from home Depot.

Ed - good tip.  I have a spare bowl & lid from a performer that I was going to turn into an M/T - now I know where to source the legs!

tb80 - that red certainly has some issues, but if you are up for a challenge at least your initial investment is pretty low.

The red is pretty rough. If you're up for a project, that would be a good one.

Does it even have legs sockets? Is it a tabbed kettle? Tabbed kettles have leg sockets?

For $15 they'd be in my trunk by now. The lid handle can be coaxed back into shape by rubber mallet and perhaps even my hand. If you get there and the leg sockets are gone, you can try to negotiate him down if you'd like. If they are there, you are on your way to having a red cooker and a smokey joe to use or gift... nothing is wrong with that.

Is that a red MT? It only has one side handle, but I don't see any performer tabs.....

Thanks for input guys.  Not sure what I am going to do yet.  I already have a black 22.5 OTS and two smokey joes (one gold and one silver), so I don't really need these. I actually mainly wanted the smokey joe to make a mini wsm for my cousin.
