I’ve been wanting a propane grill since we bought our house 5 years ago but I didn’t want to shell out big bucks for something I won’t be constantly using. My town is doing a village garage sale this weekend and I saw this little guy 4 houses down from me so I ran over and offered my neighbor $40. It came with a cover and I already have a full propane tank so I am excited to get grilling.

Webers are nice to have because you can but almost any part you need to keep it alive. Nice buy!

That bad boy is very clean! It looks low miles. How are the burners and the igniters?

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

The grates are spotless. The guy said it was blown across the yard a few years ago during a big storm but it’s well intact. It’s only a 2 burner but it’s enough for us. Popped a new battery in the igniter and it fired right upb

That is a score!

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 17 points 1 month ago

IIRC it's a good brand, and $40 is a steal!

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah I’ve had my heart set on a Weber because they really last a long time if you take care of them

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

You can do better than Webber but not much. You can do a lot more worse. Anything cheaper than Webber is you get what you pay for or less. Anything more might be better but there are diminishing returns.

Their BBQ tools are rock solid, too. I upgraded to a green egg and kept the tongs and spatula from my old setup. I've owned them for a decade now. They're outside (under the patio) and still do the job perfectly.

Typically more of a charcoal guy, but $40 is hard to beat. Happy grilling!

I’ve got an old beat up Weber kettle that I love but I really wanted something I can just fire and throw some meat on lickity split. I’ll be keeping the kettle for when I want to smoke a pork butt or do beer can chicken

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yep. Real wood charcoal is the bomb. But it just takes more time and more malice aforeskin than a gas grill. And sometimes you just want to cook outside now, not later.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

What, no inside pic of of the good stuff??? I'm hoping it's as well maintained as the rest of it.

Looks like a fine looking grill.

I love garage sales! My little village had a "town-wide" garage sale last weekend. I picked up an electric chainsaw, two weedeaters, an 18 speed bike, and a bike trailer for a grand total of $30.

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

That’s a legendary haul!

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Larger chain rings are for lower gearing. So if you are towing heavy or going uphill. You shift up to smaller chainrings for more resistance and downshift to bigger chainrings for less resistance.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Yup. But for how I normally use my bike, I rarely need more than 5 tops. 1st gear is stupid low, it feels like I could tow a car with that one lol!

Also I live in a very flat area. I could see using more of them if I lived somewhere with more hills to have to drag my sorry arse up and down.

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think I went like 15 years before I shifted out of my middle chainring. Then I moved somewhere mountainous and spent so much time wishing for lower gears. I thought I was a strong biker as a flatlander but I spent months getting dropped daily on my way to work by mom's towing their kids to school. Humbling for sure!

[-] PenguinInLaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Great buy! I have this model with one extra burner - has not let me down yet. 40$ is a steal if the inside as well maintained.

[-] trijste@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

I have this and it’s perfect. Mines on a gas line though.

[-] artifex@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

$40 is an amazing deal. I saw what looks like the same model “on sale” for I think $450 over Memorial Day

[-] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I've had the same grill (except 3 burners) for like 7 years, it's great. The grates eventually did rust but you can get replacement parts easily. Enjoy!

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

These 90% off steam sales are getting absurd!

[-] groucho@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 month ago

Have fun with it! I had that exact model for years and it's fantastic.

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nicely done. Webers are IMV the best bang for buck. Have had charcoal ones for years.
