While doing my almost daily search on Craigslist, I came across a Q-300 for $75," great condition". I called and arranged to look at it the next evening after work. When I got there, I could not believe my eyes. A Q300 in truly great condition, under a weber cover, with less than a year old grates! They were moving in 10 days, and wanted it gone. When I asked if the igniter worked, he said "that hasn't worked in years." When I asked if it had dual burners, "no, it's all or nothing, only one burner." We talked a bit and he asked if I cooked with charcoal...I told him yes, that I own a Weber performer..."Good, here. Take this weber starter thing, maybe you can figure out how to use it!" He also threw in a bag of charcoal, the gas cylinder, and 2 lighters!! When I got it home and tinkered with it, and started cleaning it, sure enough; she lights on the first try every time!! I hated to pay asking price, but the grill, new grates, a weber full size cover, full gas cylinder, a brand new chimney starter, charcoal, and a cpl lighters for $75?? I figured I was getting a pretty good deal!
