26” online score !!!!

[Dc_smoke309]

Normally I look on the online garage sale apps a couple times a day to see what's out there , it's been the same old shit last few months . Well today I check varage sale. Which is where I scored a couple of my finds. Today I seen a new post that reads " 27 inch Weber for sale" hmmm can't be ... so I check it out and sure as shit there is a nice 26" kettle. Listed
For 125$. I message the seller and asked what the bottom dollar was . They replied 100$. Holy shit. At. This time I am on my lunch break at work. So..... I text the wife .... "ummm hey babe"..... "wanna do me a favor?? " Lol. I tell her about it. She wants a pic ..... she says " don't you already have a black one" .... ok yes that is true . "But this one bigger." Waiting .... waiting .... Waiting ..... she replies . " OMG how much?!?!?!?..  100$ ... She goes , send me the address .    WOOOOO HOOOOOO ! I couldn't believe it. She went and picked this sucker up for me today . She usually doesn't give me much crap about my
Grill hobby. Other than a " no you already have to many grills " or the occasional eye roll.... so I come home , gave it a quick wash with dawn. It has some gunk in the lid . It came with 1 full bag kingsford . And two half bags of kingsford . Plus Weber charcoal baskets . All for 100 bucks . I was pretty pleased . Finally scored a 26. I mean I have been waiting patiently.

Grate score!   I hope to pick my first 26 for $140 next week.  Only problem is I have a five hour round trip to get it.

First off...awesome job by wifey!

Second...welcome to the club!

Once you try one out...you're perspective will change.

Congrats.

Oh, just wait. They look so similar to a 22, but once you lift the lid & feel the weight, you'll know you're in a whole new territory. Then, once you fit a whole Costco-sized salmon filet on the offset side, or reverse sear six ribeyes at the same time, you'll get it. Welcome.

I love it when a guest picks up the lid of my 26er and comments how much of a workout it is!

That's nice! I'm still looking... I'll get one one of these days.
