I will just leave this here


 
A few weeks ago I posted a summit kamado in my neighborhood for $1k, here is a similar one for $1,200 but is at least 6 hours away. Pretty sure the price just dropped $500.

In case anyone is interested

Looks good on the outside, but I would have liked to see a photo or two of the inside.
Good for a personal grill, but price makes a flip pretty rough.

Well that puts the Q1400 to shame. But 7000 watts is quite a bit of juice to be pulling. That would probably be banned in the state of California.

7kW is only about 24kBTU/hr. Weak sauce for a big grill.

Sadly, this may become the norm in communes where natural gas connections are banned for new construction.

Remember unlike a grill that burns fuel it needs no air/ventilation. Really if you think about it so much of the fuel burn goes out the vents on a grill. Here no such waste occurs. It's likely it equals cooking on a fuel burner with 4x that output

Good point. I have a 4kW burner on my induction cooktop and it will burn the seasoning off a big iron pan fast. Full power is really only usable for boiling a big pot. If that grill was closer, I might give it a go.
 
I don't know anything about that monster electric grill, but it looks very expensive. I wouldn't think they could sell a grill way up in the 4 figure range that couldn't crank out the heat.

4 kW in an induction unit is a heck of a thing. Without an air gap or even contact resistance to heat transfer, generating the heat directly in the material of the cooking vessel is good for quite a boost in efficiency.

I see this often with the high end grills, and it always looks like a red flag - are they actually saying “I bought this grill and it’s not that great”

From the electric grill posting:

Very true. Sometimes rich people lose interest and just want out. Those are great deal opportunities. Not sure this is unless you have your own power plant🤣!

True that. I got my Summit later my G2-435 from guys who paid tens of thousands for contractors to install built in grills in stone islands.

Luckily, I removed the range from my basement kitchen, so I have a spare 50A circuit ready to reroute to the patio!
 
It was 55 degrees when I left for work this morning.

In Northern climates, do the prices for used grills and sellers willingness to discount drop this time of year?

Are Winter or Spring better times to pick up a used grill?

Or it doesn’t matter what time of year?
 
John, I would say in most cases, that is the trend at the end of the fall up north. Normally, people will just want to get rid of that used grill so they don't have to store it another winter knowing they will be getting a new one in the spring.
