You got a love Chicago in the springtime because everyone starts to clean out their sheds. So Sunday I picked up a gas assist black stainless steel performer. It's in pretty good shape.
Then today I saw on Letgo there was a lime green Crate and Barrel Gen 3 performer. So I swung by and picked that up after I got off the train.
Then I saw another ad on letgo for a non gas assist red stainless steel performer. I wasn't really interested in that but Craig was so I decided to see if I could get it. The guy gave me a price but I thought it was too much then he told me someone else was coming to get it, so I said well if we come to a price can I get it my van tonight. He said okay but can I come and get it tonight, however it was already 10 PM. I said okay I can leave now and he told me he wouldn't be home til after 11:30. So I was a little squeamish going out that late so I grab my neighbor and we set off to get Craig's red non-gas assist stainless performer.
Now as I write this I still don't believe Craig has any understanding that I had to go at midnight and pick this thing up. He's snoozing in his bed fast asleep......However I look at it like this I'm doing a buddy a favor and when you see the stuff you buy it, you just have to get it when it's available.
So I meet the guy and we go into to his garage and he has at least half a dozen big newer Genesis gassers. He's got a big summit in there, that needed some work. He also has an old Genesis Junior, as well as a lime 22, and a blue Mastertouch. He also has an old Yellow Electric 18 from the early 70's.....I wasn't leaving there without this stuff.....So I struck a deal for the yellow electric 18, the lime, the black Genesis Junior and the non gas assist red stainless performer for Craig.... I guess the kettle karma paid off going out at midnight to help a buddy get a grill....so here is the evening haul

OMGGGGG.....Epic doesn't even come close. What a great Monday, hell anyday....Congrats Brian. That's karma coming around for sure. I'll be 1st in line if you decide to move that beauty lime. Don't see the Genesis Jr. in the pics, that's a great gasser.

It was an epic score for sure, it was like being in bizarro world, it's the middle of the night, these insane grills are there are for sale....just surreal. Very lucky to be in the right place at the right time....This is how Agent X rolls!....
I'll get pics of the genesis junior. It's rough and needs work, but hey it's such an odd ball....
He's aware of the site, but he's just a flipper and he knows stuff is worth something so he grabs it.....

Awesome scores!!! Good thing you took the van for that trip. A p/u truck with nice grills in the back, around midnight, woulda surely have attracted some attention from local law enforcement.

Agent X must have been a little off his game, how did this guy beat the Chicago crew to all these treasure he was sitting on 8)
LOL, great score!

Big thank you to Brian for grabbing the red SS and congratulations on hitting the mother load in the process. That's the deal of the year right there! You can't make this stuff up. This is vintage WKC, right here! I'm all geeked out right now.
-
Awesome for sure. Can't wait to see that genesis jr.
I have a soft spot for the old gassers

@zavod44 - amazing score! Congrats! PM sent...... ;)
And that red SS performer doesn't have a fade!! LOVE IT
What's the date code on that one? My red SSP was originally non-gas assist and does not have a fade, either.
-
Amazing score! That's more classic kettles in a night then I have seen in the last year in my area...

What's the date code on that one?
