Seen a lot of blue here for free or cheepLid colors run in streaks. You might wind up with three of them next year. Black has been my hot color this year, unfortunately. Some green showing lately too. But, like you, blues are on the endangered species list this summer.
Your right Bruce, another blue lid, Silver C just popped up for $50 near me.LOL. Be careful. They might start showing up on every curb. I remember wanting one soooo bad and when I finally found one, I think I picked up there or four more that year.
Nothing like the flavor that comes from cooking with a coal burner! But you can't beat the convenience of a gasser, either, so yup, I think you need to have both. It seems like Samuel likes the table space so a vintage Performer or even a WSK S6 would be right at home here!
