I will just leave this here

[Josh Dekubber]

I picked up this 1000 for free
Late last night in the dark and rain. Wipe some of the dirt off this morning to see how it looks and it looks to be in pretty good shape. It's not a magnificent barn find or anything like that but for free I'll take it!

One score after another. Awesome

One score after another. Awesome

I really want to get back to working on these. I've kind of got sucked into these newer flips. No regrets. The money is good but I want to get back to the good oldies

 

[Bruce]

Well, I can't even imagine finding a Genesis 1000 in that good of condition to start.

Really!

Josh, I have picked up dozens of Genesis 1000-5000 grills and I can honestly say that maybe one or two had a handle that was in that good of condition. Same thing with wood slats.

I wonder why that is. It's extremely wet here in Washington. Maybe people will keep them covered more here or something. Or maybe Jon got all the good ones already. I can't imagine how many could be built out of the parts he has.

 

[Bruce]

I think Jon would confirm that scarcity of good Genesis 1000 wood grills around here. I am not sure why the Seattle area is easier on the wood than here. Maybe the freezing and thawing that we go through from November through March every year.??? I don't know, but you seem to come up with grills with much less rust as well.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I guess I better grab them while I can

 

[Bruce]

If you can find them in that kind of condition, yes, you should.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

If you can find them in that kind of condition, yes, you should.

If I end up with more than I know what to do with I'll load them up and head towards you guys.

So that’s how @Josh Dekubber scores all these awesome finds! He picks them up late at night…for free…in the rain…from people’s decks…while they’re sleeping. JK. Keep up the good work!

That is incredibly odd that in the PNW those things are abundant and in remarkable shape. I’ve gotten lucky with a handful of the 1/1000’s, but I’ve seen a lot of them that are just shot. Short of a couple useable pieces.

 

[Bruce]

Damn, Tom. You figured it all out. I am going to start mapping out the area.

Thanks Tom!

I've only seen one bad frame in person. It's a grill that I picked up that was transported here from California. Rusted where the bolt goes to the cook box on the left side.

The ones I find in Arizona on average are even better.

4/5 that I get are rusted to hell there.

Wow

 

[Bruce]

Josh, just a side question. Do vehicles tend to rust out significantly more in the Seattle area more than say Arizona?
