Man, nice pickup!  They probably had no idea what it was.  Awesome find.  I bet you laughing all the way to the cash register.

NO WAY!!! 

That is completely insane.  That's the buy of the year right there.  So are you gonna cook with it, or sell it on eBay for $100??  ;-)

Great work, Peas!

Looks brand new, too!  Amazing.

Duke taught me a great trick for those, too:  if you want to do a high-capacity cook, you can stack the corn ring on top if a 22.5 grate, then stack an 18.5 grate on top of the corn ring.  The lid will fit on just fine.

That's good to know. I'll try that for sure. I don't think it was ever used.

Here's a pick of it sitting on a donor grill, just to test the fit. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/03/7ujabuqa.jpg)

Nice! I was actually going there after that Amish market on Thurs but changed my mind. That will teach me! I know the perfect place to get some great Eastern Shore sweet  corn to fill it up.

Outstanding find!!! Hey I saw Laurel in your post..... If it's the one in Maryland, I used to live in Savage Md! I even worked in the savage mill when it was first transformed to the boutiques and shops. I was a potter. Made potpourris burners for a shop located at the inner harbor.

There's a farmer stand near Rabbit Hill which is right before Easton. I drove by today and it looks like he is done for the season.

okay, so I know this is completely irrational, but I thought I recognized the tag on Peas' new corn and tater ring, and knew that his thrift store was in the same chain as my favorite thrift store.  And of course it was complete happenstance that Peas found that accessory on that particular day, and there was no logical reason for my thrift store to have the same thing in it, but I still needed to swing by my thrift store yesterday to make the voices in my head quiet down.  Didn't find any Weber stuff in the tool/outdoor area or in the kitchen supplies, but when we stopped in at the book section-- my shameless bribe to get my kids to come along in exchange for 3 $.69 books-- my daughter pulled a Weber cookbook off of the kid's shelf and said, "Hey, Daddy, it's a Weber book!".  Copyright 1996.  Best thing about it is that on page 5, there's a great photo of the same grill that lives on my deck, which used to live on Peas' deck:  a red 1995 Performer.  Pretty cool.

Mike that is pretty cool. Only thing is your performer looks a lot better than the one in the pic.
