I will just leave this here


 
I just got a Q1200 off of Marketplace and it's a great little cooker for 2. I had 2 hamburgers grilled and buns toasted on it before my big Genesis would be warmed up. Used alot less gas also.
I agree. Tough game today. I was sure they were going to pull it out.
 
At first glance I thought this was a Weber. It may be almost worth it for a full set of GrillGrates though.

At the time those were made by Grandhall https://www.grandhall.com/ who did OEM for people like Member's Mark, and a large grill sales outlet on the west coast IIRC they sold the "Turbo" or some such moniker. If you watch VERY early episodes of Steven Raichlen's Grilling University on PBS you will see him using a large Grandhall grill https://www.grandhall.com/products/...turbo-40-inch-6-burner-built-in-bbq-gas-grill. IIRC the company is/was in Taiwan. While I am unsure now, at the time they built a pretty solid grill at a nice price point. Occasionally you can still find them around today especially where a Sam's Club exists. They sold one unit through Sears and Sam's that was a huge tank of a grill. All 304SS and was actually REALLY nice and without a lot of gimmicky crap like ovens, fridge and so on.
But that Sears grill noted above was a total POS. My brother had one. He ruined so many meals it wasn't funny. It was made to a VERY low price point and designed to mimic the look of a then Genesis grill
 
Nothing too exciting here but thought I'd share quick project. I picked up two spirit 200 grills yesterday for free. I took the best parts from both today and made one good one. Just put it up for sale.View attachment 103317View attachment 103318View attachment 103319View attachment 103320View attachment 103321View attachment 103322
I'm glad you picked those up - that I'm sure was a pretty easy clean up/parts swap for an easy $200-250 grill - altho now is not a good sellors market. I'll have to go poke around and see what you listed them for....

Just saw it...... yep, you'll get asking price - it just might take a while. Your sister didn't want it?

Did you see much in the way of differences in build quality between the original grey model and the re-released black one? I know the grates got much lighter and I was almost convinced that the cook box got thinner too.

Build quality seems to be the same. They're both quite light duty to put it nicely. I didn't ask my sister-in-law if she wanted it. She already took the Baby Q 1000 and was happy to have the smallest option.

Yeah you're right it's not the best time of year to be selling but something that I've noticed lately is that inventory is crappy and stagnant and over priced. I've actually been doing pretty good selling. I've got a buyer coming today and another one possibly.

I might clean up a couple more and throw them out for sale.
 
Here's one of those afixed bolt down Weber's with the odd frame. I wonder if these came with a condiment basket!?

Maybe if someone has a brochure from when they were sold. I haven't seen one though

It looks like it's in very good condition too. I don't know about the condiment basket as I've only seen a few of these grills. Certainly, either the basket or the tool hooks were added later. It didn't come with both.
