So what started out as a busy day day of weber hunting has turned into a full on weberitis bender. We could be facing an intervention here.
After the three grill sweep last Saturday, I was still hunting as it became clear there are two family members looking for gasssers and there's a few around so I was back on the hunt. Found one locally Wednesday on a Facebook buy sell group very close by so I grabbed it. It was in decent shape except the porcelain cook grates showed some rust. They could be oiled up and used but as this would be given to a family member and its solid otherwise.
Checked and found grates online for about $35. Not a bad deal but more then I paid for the rest of the grill. I searched the model number on lowes.com since I was placing and order and found the grates I need as online clearance for $5!
Can't beat that!
Apparently four grills wasn't enough. That same day I saw another craigslist kettle posted. I really didn't need another one as I had a new new ones waiting for clean up and repair but I couldn't pass this one up:
I've never had a read of never had a master touch before this is both.
Lid and bowl aren't perfect but they're pretty good. There are some parts that are damaged:
Thermometer is cracked
Wood handles virtually gone
One touch system disintegrated
White wall wheel inserts are damages
Grates are pretty beat up.
But I think I can use the other rough kettles grabbed recently for donor parts.
Proving that weberitis is contagious when I explained to my wife that reds are discontinued and now considered rare even her interest peaked. She asked as usual did you get this one to keep or sell but I think she actually might want me to keep this one!
I told her I would see how the rehab goes, and see if someone makes an offer to good to ignore.
5 grills in six days, that's nuts even for this site. There's even a performer listing I'm interested in for a family member but I don't have the time to get it or clean it until
Some of these other projects are done.
