Title: Another great freebie!
Post by: Troy on August 03, 2016, 08:53:33 PM
Last week I picked up a FREE chestnut sequioa.

today I picked up a FREE gen 2 performer.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2016/08/04/free-performer.jpg)

It was pretty dirty, and finding the guy's place in this INSANELY HUGE apartment complex was difficult.
But the funnest part was taking it apart and stuffing it into the trunk of my VW.

Everything is there, it's just inside the cover (along with about 3 gallons of ash...)

I was standing on the igniter wires when i picked the bowl up to load it, which ripped them clean off :(

Nice find. I noticed you said VW. The best combo is VWs and webers.

It's my first.  I really like it!

Although I apparently need new tires after 19,000 miles.  Whoops.

Thanks for finding the link!

My plan WAS to clean it up and sell it. I tipped @fedex $100 for picking up and delivering the Sequoia to me, so I was going to try to recover some of that cash.
I think my wife has already given it away to one of her friends though. :\

You should be able to sell that performer for way more than $100

I value the quick and easy sale over the waiting, flaking, negotiating.
It's already been given away though.
