Lots to like about the new design... ...everything except what has already been mentioned...to much cheap, flimsy, sheet metal that be rusting quickly for those that live in rust prone areas. I am curious about the warranty details on the frame. I would guess it to be 2 years.

I saw you sniffing around the HB fan page on FB last week. Did you pull the trigger on that Legacy? I have restored quite a few, but beware, the market gets much softer the further north you go. Sure, you can buy them cheap, but the market is really weak when you try to sell them.

Pretty sure I have what you are looking for. Please check your PM.

Dedication, right there.

Looks great. Trying to find one single detail you left out ... still looking... nothing yet.

I am parting out this Summit... offering to board members before posting on Ebay. The manifold is only 5 years old. The floor is in really good condition. The fire box is suffering from the usual rot that this horribly designed and engineered firebox always does eventually. Local pickup...

That would be my fix, just be really careful, and I would use 2x4 braces. You can easily crack, or worse- shatter, the box.

That red Performer is a non-gas model. I would not classify it as "mint." I would grade it as very good condition and about 8 out of 10. The $300 asking price is very high in it's unrestored condition. $150 to $175 would be much more realistic if you are looking for a keeper. $200-$250...

As a grill restoration guy, I have had my hands on more than a few grills. I have also seen a few questionable changes that have been made over the years. However, I understand business. Some changes are made simply to freshen up appearances and keep in line with your competition, others...

Interested ... message sent.

No longer listed. What was it priced at?

@John Burns- As always, thanks for giving us a peek behind the curtain.

The silver SSP frame is a really good look. I may have to borrow that on a resto one of these days.

You're not a real flipper until you snag a grill with a mouse nest. Bonus points if you score it BECAUSE OF THE NEST. I have scored a grill for that reason alone a few times. The owners absolutely refused to use the grill after discovering the nest.

I have to agree with about all of that. If you happen to live near Trader Joe's their house brand Trader Joe's Kentucky bourbon is Buffalo Trace as well. Pretty good stuff for $15 here in Mo. It's very difficult to find any allocated stuff in this area.
