Someone convince me I don't need this.

This original PK Grill has been on Craigslist here for a few weeks. Price just dropped from $150 to $125. The thing is, I already have a Weber Mastertouch 22" kettle, a Weber 26" kettle, a Memphis Advantage pellet grill, a 28" Blackstone and just picked up a Weber Q 1400 (it's electric, boogie woogie woogie). I don't even use what I have enough. I only have so much room on my patio and in my garage. The wife is not excited about it, but, man what a deal. Tell me why I should not buy it.

[smokenoob]

you told your wife without consulting the Pit first?

[DTro]

Don't buy it because you may never see that price again!

[Mosca]

Where are you going to put it? What are you going to do with it that you can’t already do? Will food taste any better from it?

Wouldn’t you really rather have the $125?

—Mosca, the anti-MCS, who just passed on a $500 HastyBake 131 that had only 3 cooks on it, for those very reasons

This has to be against Pit rules…calling Huskee for an interpretation and reprimand.

[Huskee]

Mob mentality - booo! Lol

[Soonerpop]

What the hell……?!

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

I mean you have to, you can't buy an American made PK and that bad boy needs to continue it's legacy with someone who appreciates it

[02ebz06]

Most of the things I buy I don't "need".

[Panhead John]

02ebz06 Especially after joining up with this place……

[klflowers]

Exactly

[Soonerpop]

Yessir.

[rlozinak]

I see that MCS is kicking in. I say go for it!!

[bep35]

Who in their right mind would come to this group and ask to be talked out of MCS? That's like asking all your rowdy friends to talk you into staying home on a Friday night!

Have fun!

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

well we at least have Mosca to try and keep us out of jail

[Mosca]

Designated driver n’ at.

[ofelles]

You beat me to it.

[FireMan]

Offer a buck and see what happens. Even if he sticks to his buck 25 it’ll work. Do it.

I own a "PK clone" that is nearly identical to the original PK, with the only main exception being that the hinge is on the long side rather than the short side of the cooking chamber.

I never use it for one simple reason: Those bottom grates are a pain. You can't see them easily and adjusting them during a hot cook requires thick gloves and it is difficult to feel how you are moving them. This may not happen to a true PK, but mine got loose over time and if I bump the grill I now don't know if they've slid to a new position.

My Weber Kettle is far more enjoyable to use, although there is something to be said about the rectangular cooking grate.

You can buy it as a 'museum piece'. Or maybe vintage. That would make it attractive to hipsters, I suppose.

[CandySueQ]

I think if you don't offer $100, you'll kick yourself for not trying. But it's a steal at $125. But -- I bought a 1950's Duchess (pre-PK) for $25 and brought it back to useable condition. Then gave it away!

[Sid P]

You owe it to yourself to try it. You may love it more than the others, or you might "only" make a few bucks on it.

[Skip]

Be sure to post a picture after you get it home and get the dust blown off!

I had a similar decision with a used PK Original and I went with a new PK300 due to the vent design. No regrets.
