Title: An epic score & extraction has taken place
Post by: Troy on August 08, 2014, 10:49:41 AM
I can't say who got this.

And I can't say how much effort and planning were put into capturing this glorious beast.

But the details are amazing and they showcase some amazing WKC spirit.

Expect full debriefing and photos of both grills involved in approximately 2 weeks.

Until then, here's a sneak peak!

Original scotch plaid cover to boot.  Too bad the ash pan is missing.  Can't wait to hear more.

So you got it? I saw the estate sale listing on Monday. But I figured I didn't have a chance or the cash in getting it.

The event did indeed happen in Chicago, and Agent X played a significant role in making arrangements.

Holy Mary Mother of God.

Wow. Like many on here I'm sure, there isn't much I wouldn't give to get a hold of a grill like that.

Congrats to the new owner(s) and yes, I am jealous as all hell!
