DEAL on a used Q100 (w/ pics)

[JSalley]

Stumbled upon this on FB Marketplace, and my GF just happens to be looking for a grill. It is QUITE dirty (can we call it disgusting!?), but the price is right: $5





I'll post some more pics after I get her cleaned up. I think my plan of attack is some oven cleaner, let it dwell, then a quick powerwash. Scrub it out with a wire brush, clean out the holes on the burner with torch cleaners (files). Does that sound about right to everyone?

You're one brave dude. I would not have touched that thing with someone else's hands let alone my own. Future consider posting in the Q section BTW

 

[Karl Quist]

WOW......... I would like to see the pics after cleaning. Best of luck.

 

[Rusty James]

Looks well worth $5.00 to me (from what I can tell). Time for some disassembly and degreaser!

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

$5.00!? These really never, ever come up around here!

 

[Bruce]

Yah , $5 is good. Take it apart and clean it up. Even if you put in a new burner and new grates, you will have a great grill for about $50 bucks or so.

Wear gloves. Might be a critter in there.

I'm wondering if it was used for something other than cooking dinner.

 

[Dave in KC]

That should shine up rather nicely. There is some serious
fungus among us, but you will likely not need to replace
anything. Great score.

 

[MikeLucky]

Wow. Good price, but that is definitely a task ahead. I hope you post pics of the after because I can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

[BillSmith]

OMG! That's one nasty looking grill. I do hope that you're able to restore it. Good luck!

 

[Bruce]

I see no reason it could not be restored. Grill Cleaner, pressure wash at the car wash some scrubbing and some new parts.

That's a great idea.

 

[Ron De Hoogh]

Wow that is nasty!

 

[Ed P]

Yeah, I read stories of guys making drugs in the back seat of a car while driving down the road, and refilling propane tanks with ammonium nitrate stolen from large agricultural farms for drug manufacturing, so I think I might wear a Hazmat suit for this one...

 

[Bruce]

Well, dang, a Meth lab for $5.

 

[Ed P]

In the past couple of months, there were 7 people shot dead and 41,000 marijuana plants and I don't know how much honey oil busted in a nearby city (Anza Aguanga). The people tending the farms were smuggled into this country, living in tents and these little grills are used for cooking and who knows what else.

 

[Bruce]

Should be a great market for rehabs then.

 

[Samuel]

Come on man $5 is only 5 bucks. It is not a terrible investment. Clean it and then reevaluate it. Post pics please once you have cleaned it.

 

[Ed P]

Yeah, I agree...we've wasted more than $5 in electrons just talking about it.
