It needs some light maintenance work first. Some rust on the cooking grates, etc. But soon, for sure.

Oh, FANTASTIC!

It looks well taken care of, too! I’m glad to have been a part of this!

What was the story? Why were they selling it, and why so cheap?

(Mrs had cataract surgery, all went well, we just got home a few minutes ago.)

Mosca - the story is just that they are downsizing. They used to have big names in their large back yard, but don't do so any longer. They are both retired and we're thinking about a smaller house, but they want to stay on the mountain and prices are unaffordable right now. He said he just doesn't use it anymore and wanted someone who would use it to have it. I don't know why so cheap. I offered $500 and he grabbed it.

They were very nice folks. He's a retired utility worker and she's a retired RN.

Anyone who needs cataract surgery should get it as soon as they can arrange it. I had mine done recently and am happy with the improvement. My right eye went fine, the left had a small, not uncommon issue but is fine after correcting that. I'm an advocate.

It's pretty heavy. It'll never get up on my deck, even though the deck is low to the ground. I'll have to put it on the lawn in front of the deck. Plus, the unusual design means you have to have access to both the front and back of the smoker, which would be difficult, at best, with my deck layout. The next task is getting it inside the fence. I'll attempt that after lunch.

Duanessmokedmeats - Yeah, probably, but that's not happening any time soon. On the grass is going to have to do.
