You know the joke: Northern fairy tales begin with "Once upon a time" southern fairy tales start with "y’all ain’t gonna believe this sh*t!" Well, I have a southern fairytale come true! Mid to late August I am perusing Facebook marketplace and I see a Primo XL with a stainless steel cart, for $1000! It was originally listed for $1300, but the price was reduced. So, obviously I figured it was gone for that price. I messaged the seller,
and he still had it! Then I looked at the listing again, and went "oh sh*t!" It’s in Long Island, NY! I am near Baltimore. So I debated whether it was worth the drive to get the grill. Of course, the grill won out in the end! 😎
One of the best parts is that I told my wife I was thinking about taking our daughter to Long Island to pick up a grill. Did she want to go along? She declined, citing the traffic. But she never even asked what grill?? How much?? So the next morning I headed to Long Island with my daughter. I met up with the seller, loved the grill, and bought it from him on the spot. Now, I have a Nissan Rogue, so it was a wrestling match getting everything into the car! We went to settle up the money, and the guy says, "I know we said $1000, but I promised you New York pizza, and we didn’t get it. So let’s do $880, and you and your daughter go get some pizzas." I was floored, and of course agreed to the price immediately.
So I got the Primo XL Jack Daniel’s edition, stainless steel cart, cover, cast iron firebox divider, ash rake, grate lifter, heat deflectors, and 2 bags of smoking chips for $880! The guy showed me the original receipt for over $2500. So my daughter and I got the grill, stayed overnight at a hotel for free courtesy of my Marriott points, and went to Jones Beach the next day, before heading home. Great trip!!
