Whelp this happened today.
« on: May 11, 2020, 07:45:54 PM »
So introduced myself just last week and then I just happen to find this lovely grill today! I jumped all over it, threw a diaper on the kid and left the house in two minutes.

Got a notification from offerup a weber popped. Looked saw the lid bail and the wide base and immediately messaged, it had been active for six minutes. Roughly four minutes later it’s sold. I just say if they can’t make it let me know. Couple minutes later the guy asked if I could get it right now I say “YES” he gives me the address and I take the 15 min drive over. Him and I talk I asked if he was “selling” the grill. He said no his employer was, mentioned a couple other people were in front of me but seemed like they wanted to flip. She (owner) comes out two minutes later asking if everything was ok. I thank her for allowing me to take the grill. She is probably in her late 70s early 80s and she says I use
to smoke all my turkeys on this grill. Goes inside gets me the manual for the grill and the smokenator. Tells me she only uses her little weber now and walks away. I load it up, thank the guy for passing the other two people up and load up my FREE 26er!!!

Nice score! Plus, I like that the top vent is inline with the handle. Much better than the current placement - at least for me.

Way to go, nice negotiation on the price LOL you will love the 26
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

I use the smomenator in my 26. It allows me to maximize space when needed. I can do 4 pork butts at once.

I was just surprised when the older woman came out and told me she smoked all her turkeys on it.
