I don't get too many grills for free so I don't really count those. I do get most of them in the $20 to $40 category though. In that range I can expect that both drip trays are shot, which will automatically add another $65 to $70 to my restoration costs. So, if I had to pay $100 to start on a nicer grill that didn't need those things what's the difference? Plus the slightly more expensive grills are usually in better overall condition anyway. I'm going to make about the same in either scenario usually.
