I wouldn’t discount it too hastily. This example looks to be in excellent condition at a reasonable price. I bought mine (in lesser condition) with the idea of flipping it but just couldn’t let it go for less than my ask. Now, it’s my weekend workhorse all summer long at camp and I couldn’t be happier. The only regret you’ll ever have with a Vieluxe is passing on the opportunity to grab one when you had the chance. I think the stainless would look good on you, too….

But Josh I think you're kinda missing the point. Those things are such unicorns and such a superior piece of cooking equipment to nearly anything that has ever been produced short of roasting the fatted calf. And it would be such a beautiful cooker to work with. I'd give my Wolf up for one in good shape without thinking twice. And never look back. It's such a beautiful piece of history. Not a "paycheck". Maybe not a museum piece (though it could be) but in good shape and actually taken care of it would be an indestructible brute of a cooker.
Well said. Can you imagine a Vieluxe under Josh’s careful hand? That thing would shine like a new Airstream.
Yep Tom. We have some terrific craftsmen on this site. Not the least of which are Josh, Jon Tofte, Bruce, TonyUK just to mention a few. That thing in the hands of any of these fine craftsmen it would truly be a thing of beauty!

Yeah, mine is “unreliable” to put it gently.
