This was put out for the taking.

I was running some errands and saw this sitting in front of a house. It appeared to be up for grabs, but I knocked on the door to be sure. I confirmed it was free, and then loaded it up. Pretty sure it's a Genesis 3000, all wood slats present and in decent condition. Needs cleaning, a knob, and some flavorizer bars. Pretty stoked on the free redhead.

Wow, good find! Give it a good home or flip!

 

[Jim Lampe]

She's GORGEOUS!! Did they say why they're trashing it?

 

[Andy Rue]

They did not. Just looking to get rid of it, I guess. And I agree, it's a good-looking grill.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Awesome! I hope you can do a really nice restore and give that deserving grill another 20+ years of life! We are looking forward to closeup pictures and as you are working on it.

Excellent find Andy. In much better shape than the same one I have and am trying to bring back to life. Will be waiting to watch your restoration.

Side burner and dual slide rail flip tables. That is a beauty. Great find. Keep us posted on the rehab progress. If you have any questions or need advice, just ask. There is a lot of people with lots of advice to give..... I won't say it will all be good advice, but we like to give it anyway.

Oh man! She's a beaut! I'd clean her up, and get to grillin'! That's a keeper!

 

[Stefan H]

Nice find. Well some people just don’t want to deal with the hassle of selling stuff. I scored a few free ones too in the past from Silver B over Silver C to Platinum B.

 

[Andy Rue]

Thanks for all the comments and offers of support, I really appreciate it. This forum helped a ton with my other restoration, which I posted here last year. This grill is in better condition, and it shouldn't be too hard to get it looking like new again.

 

[Joe Zoots]

THAT is a good looking grill.

 

[Sam Bee]

Wow...nice score!

 

[Dave Glasgal]

I gotta move to a city with more grills.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, the bigger metro areas are the best source for rehab candidates for sure. When the biggest town over 5,000 people is 50 miles from you, it makes it tough to beat others to the "Curb Alerts".

I had to pass on a very nice FREE 5000. I just could not make the 60 mile round trip that quickly. So oh well........................I sure hope someone here got it

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Well, crap in a hat! That NEVER happens around here!

 

[Bruce]

Larry, was it over by Chicago or was it north of you?

 

[LMichaels]

It was in Woodstock IL. We used to live there. I was in the middle of a plumbing project and just could not take the time.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Being here in Az it should also be rust free, great find.

Oh damn! I would love to see one of those in person. They seem to be pretty rare.
