I definitely liked my very similar SS Platinum. It was hotter and hot faster than my x000 grills. Having one of each would be even better, but there goes that collecting (hoardingo_O) bug again!

Yet is the operative word. Maybe in NJ people will pay more, but I am thinking he will be looking at those for a long time. Besides a number of open cart Genesis II grills I was writing about when you posted, I believe I see a nice Skyline in that collection:cool:!

I am sworn off to buying ANYTHING more after going to Illinois to buy my capstone unicorn Vieluxe. But if I ever whittle down my collection of older grills for flipping before I am too old - or dead - to do more, I think I would leapfrog from x000 to Genesis II grills. To do those right means...

I appreciate the additional information, Jim. If they were all free, that would make it all the harder to say "No!".

I am afraid that after an unusually mild fall, that your fear of a long, hard winter is all too possible. Maybe we will get lucky again, though!

Well, my wife worked hard on her oven chicken to try to meet me in the middle:

That’s what my wife would say as well! Oh well…

HAPPY TURKEY DAY 🦃 to all of you! I have only met a few of you in person, but TVWBB gets to feeling like family! My wife and I have this same disagreement every Thanksgiving. So, which turkey would you rather have:

Cody, I would stay far away as well!:p Val, That's some great detective work you did! I agree it is the Fiesta Blue Ember. The one Cody posted looks like this one with the side tables sheared (burned :eek: off?):

That one has me stumped. Broil King?
