1998 gas assist SSP... Help I can't pull the trigger...

[Raindog]

My local thrift store has a black 1998 SSP for $55.00. If were any color but black it would already be home. It's missing the propane tank and charcoal bucket. It has the gas assist. Needs a good cleaning but otherwise solid. I don't know a lot about these so any encouragement would be appreciated.

Get it!!  Even if you think you just want to use the SSP frame in the future, you can drop any colored performer bowl into the frame in the future. 

$55 is a great deal. 

I can send you a charcoal bucket.

The stainless tables clean up amazingly well with just a little effort.

Pics would be cool.

I knew it... thanks Mr.CPHo. I'll swing back in the morning and pick it up. Once I land it I'll shot pics and worry about the bucket etc.
I don't know what's wrong with me, when I got home even my wife asked why I didn't get.

That's a good woman you got there. Keeper.

I think black SSPs look sharp- Black & Silver...just grill baby.

[Raindog]

All the more reason!  Here's my SJ.  BTW I grew up in Glastonbury.

hell's bells! A fellow CT Raiders fan???!!!

Whats your location now?

[Raindog]

Been living in Billings MT for last 9 years for work but previous 25 years at Lake Tahoe NV. Had season tickets for 2 years when Raiders moved back to Oakland from L.A.

Drove through Billings in 1998. Felt like I went back in time. I liked it.

I refuse to follow the Raidiz to Vegas. Been with them since SB 2...the move to LA was bad enough. No mas man.

[Raindog]

Hear that. I'm hardcore but they're making it tough...

[Darko]

That's probably one of the finest SJ's I've ever seen... well other than mine.   Now go get that SSP. Listen to your wife!!!!

[LiquidOcelot]

nothing finer then a 49er..... no homo.... ok just a little lol! 🤣

[Raindog]

Wife is a converted 49er fan who was born in San Francisco.  Been to a few games and BBQ's at Candlestick during the conversion.

My Father-in-law was a long time season ticket holder for the Raiders before the Oakland Coliseum was built.  The games were played at Laney College in Oakland. I have a stack of old Football cards from when I was a kid. Here is a quote from the back of my Ben Davidson card.  "Ben is a construction worker in the off-season".


The players had to have another job as they weren't paid much back in the early days of the NFL. The guys played for the love of the game, not the money.

All U need is a bowl, a lid, and a table.  The rest will show up with a little help from your friends.  Go get that SSP.
