I will just leave this here

[John_NJ]

Hmmm…interesting

 

[Bruce]

It looks like only a few general parts for the JD grills. I would not grab one with hopes of rehabbing it and making a profit.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Maybe not even with hopes of getting it to work properly again .

 

[John_NJ]

Looks like some of the John Deere branded gas grills are made by Weber now..

 

[Bruce]

Yah, there was a used one for sale near me earlier this summer. But really, other than the color and the cheesy name sticker on the handle, it is just a plain Q grill.

 

[LeeHarvey]

Heh… they’re even nice enough to leave “Q2200” right in the model number.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I think they want you to think it is a JD manufactured grill but it is just a rebrand at best. It probably would be prudent to advertise the grills a "made by Weber".

 

[DanHoo]

The John Deere grill should have a beer tap built in.

Cookin out and getting plowed.

A Gold Rust Bucket

More evidence that if you are thinking about restoring a 2nd generation Summit, hold out for a Platinum one:

Weber Summit Gold Grill - general for sale - by owner

Weber Summit Gold Grill (natural gas). Currently not operational due to some needed parts. Needs the following parts, which are mostly still available from Weber: Burner Tube Assemblies Ignitor...

That one has absolutely nothing going for it, I wouldn't take it for free.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I agree. The seller thinks he has something, but I believe he will soon find that there are no interested takers - certainly not at that price. And good luck on "parting it out."

I personally think that the only model of this 2nd generation Summit that might be worth the effort and expense to restore are the 2-year-only Platinum ones. And that would be for personal use, not for flipping.

 

[John_NJ]

I did a thing yesterday…

 

[Bruce]

OK. we need some details on how that wound up in the bed of your truck parked in your drive way.

 

[John_NJ]

Not my driveway.

Details to follow as I am on my coffee break at the moment.

But I am the proud owner of a never used pristine condition Weber Summit Charcoal grilling center.

Thanks tvwbb…

Odd Listing

Here is a pretty nice (not sparkling clean) redhead listed at $400. No description or ad pitch whatsoever. Not sure what the seller feels this ultra-minimalist approach will do. I know I am too long-winded in my descriptions, but for $400, as a potential buyer I would want to know more:

I think the Turbo Trusser guys are going to be on Shark Tank tomorrow night.

That… that’s a heck of a thing.

A super nice Weber Skyline for sale in Saginaw MI. It's five hours each way or I would jump on it. It's also interesting that it has a DD (2000) date code and a newer style tank scale.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/403435395111731/

Seems nice enough, perhaps a little too much money for a 10 yr. old grill.

Yeah, I question the assertion that a comparable new grill costs $1400.
