I will just leave this here

I personally don’t think using a good set of gas Q200/2000 grates would be that much different than grilling on the original CharQ grate. I would rather have that, in fact, than the stainless grates that have the same filled-in areas to protect the burner on the gas version.

That CharQ is really nice and priced fairly. I would think hard before walking away.

Other than finding another used CharQ that has intact, lightly used grates, I would say you have virtually no chance of getting a set of OEM CharQ grates. Too much time has passed, and the CharQ was a slow-selling market flop.

I agree but he is going to pass on it if anyone is in California near LA the seller will expect $250. My friend and I are pursuing a couple other ones so we'll see.
 
I picked up a 1940s era typewriter table. Built/manufactured by Tiffany Stand Company with dual drop leafs. I'm going to put a couple coats of clear coat on this thing top to bottom. That way it'll hold up just fine outside but I probably won't leave it outside. It's too cool!! At least to me. I like old things built super heavy duty and thick. It weighs a ton. The bottom center mechanism for raising and lowering the wheels was seized but I took it apart cleaned it and greased it and now it works like new. Personally I like how small it is and just barely big enough. I like things like that. I don't prefer things that are bulky and oversized and take up more space than they need to.
Dirty Q1200 and Q2200 for examples

It's funny, because anymore I seldom miss Florida where I lived for most of my life. I could still pass on Midwest January and February, and I get much better why we had so many "snowbirds" crowd our highways those months! Still, after almost five years, I have acclimated fairly well, and love watching the seasons unfold. I was one of the few down there who ever took note of the very hard to notice signs of fall - in December - and the first signs of spring - in February!

I am looking forward to raspberries, Concord grapes, and plums this summer - all things I couldn't grow back in Florida.

You know, when the weather gets nice there really isn't anywhere I would rather be than the Midwest.
 
Yep, a lot of people complain about December, January and February in the Midwest. Myself included. But I would rank it better than three three months for June, July and August in Florida.
