Sometimes, the best things are the "extras" that come with a grill you purchase. At times, I've purchased grills just because of the "extras" that were included with them. Sometimes, we know about the "extras", sometimes they are a complete surprise. For one thing I bought, I noticed a couple weird words in the listing & guessed at the "extra" that was not spelled out in the incomplete sentence.
Somewhat recently, I bought a Weber. Turns out the Weber was left behind by the tenants in a condo this person owned.
1) before I got there the person mentioned they would throw in a bag of wood chips. When I got there, it turned out to be an almost full HUMUNGOUS bag of hickory sawdust. I thought this was strange because I've never heard of sawdust being used. I wondered if the tenants got a bag that was intended for other purposes & just tried using it for cooking. I kind of scratched my head, but said "sure" & googled it later to see if it was useful (it is).
2) While loading up the Weber, the landlord asked if I wanted this tree limb that was standing on the patio next to the Weber. It was around 3 feet tall & about a 12 in diameter, a clean flat cut on the bottom & hunks had been hacked off the top. So, I looked at it & decided it was oak, & said "sure". (Good thing I keep plenty of garbage bags in my wife's SUV or I'd be asking one of you guys if I could sleep in your Ranch kettle for a couple of days).
3) Then, the landlord says hey, they left some some smoked salmon behind in the freezer, do you want it, & showed me two frozen vacuum packed pices of smoked salmon. Again, I said "sure". I don't even like smoked salmon. On the way home, I saw a homeless panhandler, so I asked him if he liked smoked salmon. He said "YES". I told him where I got it, so that he could decide the likelihood that anything might somehow be wrong with it. He seemed very pleased with it.
Not super weird, because all were at least somewhat related to the Weber I was buying. I also once bought, off cragislist, a NIB Weber 9890 rotissirie for maybe $5 that the guys said would go out in the trash in a couple days. While I was there, he asked if I wanted various unrelated stuff that wasn't Weber related. I wound up taking some things to wind Christmas lights around & round zippered bags they go into along with some other crap that I probably really didn't need.
What is the weirdest, unusual or even BEST extra you've gotten with a used Weber purchase?
