Sitting around waiting for the next hurricane update, I have time to catch up on some grill adventures. Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with fellow TVWBB member Chris from GA. He had accumulated quite a collection of Broilmaster stuff that he wanted to unload, and I admit that I still have the desire to make one for myself and maybe a couple more restorations. Surprisingly, I have had the best luck in restore/flips with Broilmasters. We agreed on a selling price for all of his Broilmaster stuff plus a perfect unused set of cast iron grates for the Genesis 300 series.
Chris is from the Atlanta area, while I am from South Florida, so we split the distance and met at the Smokin' Pig BBQ in Valdosta GA.
I still have leftover Broilmaster parts of my own and not too long ago purchased a set of classic wood tray tables from a fellow member Mike in Sacramento. Chris's stash has me well on my way to making three grills. Plus, on the way back I stopped in Orlando to make an OfferUp purchase picking up a new in-the-box set of stainless grates for the larger size Broilmaster for only $25. I already have a used but readily salvageable set of the smaller grates and Chris' stash included another large stainless set. Add to that some cast iron grates and I should be able to outfit the two large "3" models and one smaller "4" model. My wife is thrilled!
Here is my haul after arriving back home:
