Let me start with a BIG THANKS to
@DrewZ for helping me get this.
So it's Friday around 12:30 and I look at CL and I see an ad in North Jersey. Only up for 23 minutes.Had a contact number so I reached out to seller and sent Drew a text.
I asked if he was interested in it and he passed as too many in the herd now.
He says he's 30 minutes away and asked if I reached out to seller.
I told him to text them as well as he had a local area code and I was out of state.
At 1:05 Drew text me saying "Seller is about to run out, but should be back around 2. I'm tentatively scheduled to go at 2:30". He then explains that if it comes together he might be able to bring it to New Paltz NY which is 30 mile south of me. I couldn't believe it. Friday here in the NE was blazing hot, as was the rest of the US. At 2:46 I text Drew "Warm down there? 91 here."
A minute later he text "Yeah" with this picture.
It didn't look that good in the ad and he told me it was in really nice shape, very well taken care of grill. Always kept indoors as seller was original owner. So Drew said he'd let me know his schedule. About 9 PM he texts me these 2 other pictures and we set up to meet up at 10AM Saturday.
So we meet up Saturday AM as scheduled at the Park and Ride just off I87.
We spoke a bit about the grill and other grills as well. We did the switch, he got sugar and I got the grill. When I tried to offer Drew extra money for gas he refused. He's one hell of a grill fella.
He had an appointment so are meeting was short and I drive home. Upon getting home I couldn't wait to get her cleaned up and cook on. So right to it I went.
Cleaning bowl revealed some serious over spray all the way around the bowl like this
Only chip on the whole kettle and no rim rash.
Just a few blemishes from Lid Bale
And by about 1:30 she looked like this
I brought to my buddies birthday party, which he received the Gen 3 Nonassist I got a few weeks back as a present. We proceeded to down a few beers and grill. Needless to say we were busy and buzzed and forgot to get pictures.
So in under 24 hours this grill was located, secured by agent, made 125 mile journey and was ready to cook on. Again, THANKS to Drew for letting me have this as it wouldn't have been possible without him. Sometimes things just come together.
