OK guys, I am a staple on the gas section but decided to venture over to the dark side to get some advice on the "SPARK Grill". Seems it is a company that began making the SPARK charcoal grill several years ago, but didn't last. It looks like they went out of business last year. I am not sure if it was due to a bad value for the grill, marketing or if maybe it had to do with Covid and Post Covid consumer trends.
Anyway, one pops up on Facebook Market place near me and it looks in great shape. I had never seen or heard of one before, but when someone gives something that looks like quality and in good shape away for free, I have to take note. Well, I picked it up and it looks like it had been cooked on maybe 3-4 times. It still has about a dozen of the proprietary big bricks of charcoal and all the accessories. Just a little grease inside from the few cooks.
So, is this grill worth cleaning up and flipping? It seems the company is gone and likely the source for the proprietary charcoal bricks are gone as well. So, should I try to flip it or simply just use up the included charcoal bricks and then push it to the curb?
I can't imagine this thing would ever be worth more than it is right now. They seem to have gotten pretty good reviews when they were in production. What do you guys know about the grills and what do you suggest.
Here are the photos from the FB MP add and here is a link to some back ground on the grills. https://www.derrickriches.com/spark-smart-charcoal-grill-review/![364093432_6152310221539999_3595612487583620066_n.jpg 364093432_6152310221539999_3595612487583620066_n.jpg](https://tvwbb.com/data/attachments/75/75712-e83474c3849f77f092345ef8d5b51299.jpg?hash=6DR0w4Sfd_)
