Damn mobile links don't open

It opens for me on my computer. Someone converted Spirit to a barrel cooker.

Did anyone notice in the third picture that SPirit in the back ground. It looks like a load of fried eggs on the right hand shelf. I wouldn't buy anything from this guy.

Thats funny, real Weber fan

 

[LMichaels]

Totally laughable if it wasn't so sad

 

[J Grotz]

Not bad looking for $20. It is out in the desert near Palm Springs so likely no rust at all.

[Jon Tofte]

Wow, would I ever run and grab that one!

 

[Bruce]

Is that one not prone to the cook box corrosion?

 

[Jon Tofte]

Yeah, it is the one that forever ruined Larry on Weber because of their unwillingness to back up their warranty. Definitely a major problem in an otherwise awesome and now uniquely classic looking grill. I would grab that if it were near me, stash it away, and then later pursue the long term goal of someday figuring out a stainless steel fix for the firebox. And you never know, this one might be a lucky survivor. Looks like it lacks a few minor things, but it would be a good foundation to start. 4 burners in the same grate space a Genesis has 3. As Larry has noted the Vieluxe seems to have some Generation 1 Summit in its DNA. This stainless one is almost like a "pocket" Vieluxe.

 

[Chris in GA]

Besides free, thats the lowest price Ive seen on a Summit.
Definitely worth it.
I never find deals like this...

 

[LMichaels]

Is that one not prone to the cook box corrosion?

Actually Bruce they all have a corrosion issue but yes that is the one I have, and the one as mentioned that will sour me forever on paying tons of $$$ for something that will not be backed up under warranty and now has left me knowing that the Weber warranty is only as good as what is wrapped around a cardboard tube. Sadly it was/is about the best cooking grill ever made. And for $20 I would grab it if no rust in the fire box

I am heading to Memphis next week and started my search
to try and find something worthwhile to bring home.

Free Spirit, brand new in the box. The manufacturer sent him two by accident,
and now he wants to show his generosity by just giving one away for free.

Nothing shady going on there. Totally on the up and up I would think.

 

[Bruce]

Dave, my guess is that it isn't really free. Once he gets you on the phone, he will get to the price.

Either that or a scam to get your phone number.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Yeah, I would be VERY dubious about that one...

 

[Kyle in Woodstock]

And it was posted 22 days ago...no way it would still be available

Only good on items under $10. Maybe pick up some 4" wire cup brushes?

 

[Bruce]

Hey Larry, I am gonna put you out of business:

 

[J Grotz]

Any fans of the My Mechanics youtube channel?

If you aren't, then do not start!

This is what happens after you watch those videos....

So I am still plugging away on the Genesis 1000 restoration I started last October.


It would be fun to see him restore an old Genesis grill.

 

[LMichaels]

LOL that is too funny. Though if you think about it the larger types that lift the bowl are basically just upside down drill presses
