Free is good...
« on: June 04, 2014, 10:45:20 AM »
Wife wants a gas grill. So I've been on the search for a three burner gasser with a side burner. Have not not found one within a two hour drive of home.
Well now at least I can be patient.

Went to a listing appointment today and the seller said he had a lot of junk to get out of the house. This was on the back porch

I asked what he wanted for it and he said just get it out and I could have it. It immediately went in the back of my truck.

Needs new flavorizer bars and to be cleaned up inside


After a quick hose down


Not what I ultimately want but it will work for now and I can patiently wait on the three burner :-)

Nice work! 

Clean it up, use it, and I'm sure you'll be able to make a bit of money on it whenever you find something better.

hey bwb, this is a total longshot (no idea if these would even work for you), and I'm not sure if it's a great deal (especially once we ship them), but this is close to me and I'd be happy to agent the deal for you.  PM me, I'm glad to help if it's helpful.

The CI grates look good.

If the flavorizer bars have no bad holes, brush 'em down and save the money for your final setup. Maybe rotate them away from the spot on the grill where you'll do most of your grilling.

Then again, $20 plus shipping may be a good deal on the bars      8)

I bet your wife will be happy with the Genesis A and it's simplicity to use.  It's smaller than the C you're looking for, but that could also be a positive for her to use it.  Plus, you can't beat the price!

Flip the CI grates over and you should be good to go.  I used to be a "pointy side up" guy until I read a few debates on the subject, tried it for myself, and converted to flat side up/pointy side down.  And if your flat sides are in better condition - double score.
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!
