Post by: Big Dave on May 07, 2016, 03:01:20 AM
Snagged this on CL yesterday. Now have to finish current project. Can't wait to start on this.

My wife wants me to have a mental evaluation. Bah HaHa

Those are nice gassers, wives get over it, esp once you flip one and make a little cash.

The listing came down quick.  Here are a few Picks.  I'm very excited about this find.

I think I saw that but thought, "Hmm, I'd rather have red."

Even though I have a red lid in the garage already.

Sometimes, you can't fix stupid.

Nice grill!

I thought the same thing about the Red. Might switch lid out.

Thought this one looks to be in very good condition. Also, talking to previous owner he has had
This grill for most if not all of its life. He said he's had this grill for 20 years.

Hoping this one is a keeper.

Look forward to your progress @Big Dave as I recently picked one up myself that needs minor cosmetic attention.

It looks like it could be a while before I get to start on this 3000. I made a deal with my wife to get some other things done around the house before I start on "another grill".

Items to complete prior to next grill project:
1) Prep and paint/ stain 1300 sq ft of porch and deck
2) Revamp pool area, Furniture and Decorative
3) Relandscape front of house

So it looks like this might be a few months out. I really wanted a 3000. Haha. I do have a 900 I've been working on and hope to have completed pics soon.

I don't understand. A few months out? How are we supposed to have the pool party when the pool and grills aren't done yet?
