Yeah but few of you guys live in small town Idaho. It's rare to find good stuff locally. I've looked. I did find I could save a little on a new, shipped free, grill on ebay but I'm in no hurry to change from the 1000 as I've just barely begun to use it and, honestly, the thermometer was the main feature I was missing. The taller lid and side shelves would really just be a bonus. If I catch something on craigslist locally, I may take advantage of that but more and more seems to be going to FB marketplace and I won't have anything to do with FB. I sure won't register so I can shop it. In the end, I'll probably just continue to use the Q1000. While I didn't mind doing a little work on my Silver B, I'm not really a shop guy. These days, most work I need done is hired out. A luxury of aging (?) and having the spare money to do it, I suppose.I would never pay retail for a Q grill. They can be had for 1/5th the price or less used. Maybe a good cleaning and some new grates are all that most require to get back to prime cooking condition. Maybe some painting if you are up to it.
As and example:
Weber Q3200 Grill/BBQ - general for sale - by owner - craigslist
This is the cadillac of the Weber Q Grills with a much larger grilling surface and two burners. I love the Q grills but am passing this one on because my neighbor gifted me a smaller version which...madison.craigslist.org
