Title: Yesterday's score
Post by: El-Bastardo on August 27, 2014, 04:47:19 PM
This past weekend I saw a jumbo joe at target for $42. I left it and decided I would wait a week or two to grab one at a hopeful $30 price tag. So yesterday I was on CL and found a sweet deal on an 18.5 for $15

DT code puts it at 2003. It was already cleaned pretty well, check it out.

18 incher is worth a 15 dollar bill all day long.

Nice score.

I can't think of a better way to spend $15.

Nice!  And, you were patient ... It's difficult to show patience when diagnosed with Weberitis. Well done!  :D ;D ;) ;)

With all that savings you ought to be able to pick up that Jumbo Joe when it drops to $30.

I mean that is how we rationalize around here, right?

In seriousness, great score.

Nice! You can always chop the legs, add a lid bail... and there you have it, instant JJ!

Thanks guys. I knew y'all could appreciate this one. I get her all fired up tonight and made some sweet burgers with ham and swiss on top. As you could expect, she cooked like a champ.

I don't know about chopping her down yet but I will be adding a therm to the lid, and changing out the handles for the darker ones. Other than that, I'm not quite sure how she'll turn out but all suggestions are welcome.
