Thrift Store score- Le Crueset Bistro Grill

[ChadRex]

I was at my local Goodwill looking for some cheap metal tongs for moving charcoal.
I wandered over to an aisle to look for cast iron finds.
Found this gem hidden under a stack of rusty looking metal pans.

Le Crueset 12.5 Bistro Grill - I got it for $5.99.

Texted the wife with a picture and she said definitely buy it. Apparently it's over $100.00 new.

I cleaned it up & broke it in on the Weber Q.
Grilling Salmon, shrimp and some veggies

That's a gorgeous piece. I'm shocked at the price-tag...nice find! That cook looks outstanding.

$6 for a piece of CI that's going to outlive you and then some. Beat it like a rented mule.

(No actual mules were harmed in the writing of this reply.)

Nice find.

There is a large Goodwill store near me, and I walk through it a couple times a year, but I never find anything I want.

I visited a Salvation Army thrift store back around 1990, and it had dozens of the various electric "As Seen on TV!" sandwich makers that were hawked before the Foreman started to dominate that segment. It was a good demonstration that such products are usually not as useful as the commercials suggest.
