Hey, y'all, let's be cool and not spoil my Father-in-law's Father's Day surprise by telling him what he's getting. Mkay? ;-)
For several years, I've been hoping to find an old-school JJ for him, a guy who loves travel, RVing, and hanging out at deer camp. Got lucky last week about a mile from my house with a person who was selling a 'portable Weber grill' for $20. Turns out to be a black DA code Jumbo Joe in quite pristine condition. There is a chip on the edge of the lid, but I'm guessing this thing has been used twice, tops. Of course I inquired as to why she's selling it, and she said the previous homeowner had left it in the shed! I didn't even have the heart to offer her less than 20 bucks.
So a quick cleaning and swapping out the hardware for stainless steel and it should be ready to ship. My question is, what's the best way to do that? I know we've had some debates about Home Depot vs. UHaul cardboard boxes, but what is the current wisdom, and how should I package it up? I've already started stockpiling some extra cardboard for packaging.
Thanks for your help!
