I can't help but to be thrilled about my recent find.
I've bought and sold only a few used Webers over the years but have paid attention to "the market" and joined here recently to ask some questions about a larger grill for myself.
Currently I'm in the midst of cleaning up a quick flip on a pretty decent Genesis Silver B (which I need 1 knob for!) and have recently missed a few great deals on what I felt would be some great flips.
Last weekend, I came across a poorly written and pictured ad for a Lynx! Lucky for me, I was the first to respond and was given first chance to buy it. When I showed up, I could hardly believe what I was looking at. A perfect condition (minus warming tray & rotisserie), Lynx LBQ-27FR! I couldn't have been more excited to push it on the truck, get it home and check it out. Well, when I brought it home, I literally needed to readjust the (new last year) briquettes and trays, test the burner and ... throw on some marinated chicken and eat dinner!
The build quality is unbelievable (as it should be for a $5k outdoor grill!). The grates weigh about 10lbs, each! It's literally 100% SS, the only parts that don't pass the magnet test are the brackets for the lid handle and the casters! I checked everything and it truly is 350lbs of stainless steel. There isn't a dent, scratch or ding on it and the inside, well it's been grilled on, but there was hardly any buildup at all. I spent 20 minutes cleaning up the edges and faces and that's about it. This grill is clearly made to last...forever!
I almost feel bad posting the price paid as it's less than any of us would ask for a clean Genesis! Only $150 and it was about 60 minutes away.
