I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!

That's a major score!...I need a 6 burner. That's s Summit Gold D right? Its on my gasser grail list. Which way do you prefer, north-south or east-west burners? I have yet to work on one...

WOW!!!

I saw one of those for 80 a few weeks ago and tried like mad to get it.
I failed.

FREE is an incredible deal.

You going to cook on it? Or restore and sell to fund your growing charcoal collection?

Awesome score. You just beat me to the post. I just traded a free genesis for the same grill but a built in. Congrats to you on yours!!! Here's mine.  I think it's a C. Not as free as yours but still free.

If it's a weber, I can't pass on it. That's my sickness! I hope I am never cured.

Thanks fellas.  Yeah, I'm pretty estatic with the find.  Sad part is, the owners gave away this grill and picked up a small POS gasser to replace it.  More money than brains I guess...

That's s Summit Gold D right? Its on my gasser grail list. Which way do you prefer, north-south or east-west burners? I have yet to work on one...

Yes, it's a Summit Gold D.  First for me also as I haven't used nor worked on a Summit.  I'm used to the east-west burners, and like them, but don't have experience with the north-south set-up.  Time will tell.  :)

You going to cook on it? Or restore and sell to fund your growing charcoal collection?

First, I'll restore.  I need to remove the burner tubes as most of the gas ports (holes) are closed off and the igniter doesn't work.  I want to give it a good cleaning and get everything in full running order.  I'll probably use it a few times, including the smoker box and rotisserie, before selling it in the spring.  Speaking of the rotisserie, the "seller" said they never used it.  Installed the bracket and that's all the further it's ever gone.  I plugged in the motor and it works, so there's nothing wrong with it.  :D

I just restored a 4D manually light it and do a good long burn at full heat. It actually unplugged  all the burners when I did that. Saved me a lot of cleaning time too. I prettying let it cool and vacuumed all the ash and it was pretty much good to go after that. The summits get super hot and you will love the burner orientation for griddles and such. esp the fact that you can dedicate 2 burners to a large griddle and still have 4 burners for grilling without the need to swap/convert. Smoker box with a dedicated burner is a big plus. And you don't lose the east/west orientation for rotisserie so... Come on, you can't beat it. Not to mention the side burner kicks ass with a pot, pan, or chimney on it.  Indirect is pretty good too because you can sandwich things between the far left an right burners or just use one. If you plan to sell it, don't use it!!! (Fair warning) I only planned to use my 4D a few times and now I have a 4 and a 6 and I won't sell either. LOL congrats again!!!

Thousand dollar SCORE! There's no way I would be able to fit that in my MINI, but I would have been the idiot on the 8oclock news causing a traffic jam by pushing a huge grill down the street.
