Interesting charcoal or wood grill FS in my area

[IowaGirl]

I stumbled across this used grill recently. The base is cast iron and the grill can be raised and lowered with a hand crank. The grill can be used with charcoal or wood according to the owner. Price is $125 or best offer.

I think it's intriguing -- maybe what you might call a Santa Maria type grill? I'm not sure that I need this or even want it. I also don't know if it's a good price or whether my patient husband is going to start rolling his eyes at me in exasperation. Although he did admit he bought (YET ANOTHER!) hunting rifle recently, so maybe he'll cut me some slack.

Any comments or reactions, whether serious, snide or silly, from you good people will be muchly appreciated.

I would snap it up NOW!

Go ahead and dance with it. If ya don't like it, you can sell it and maybe break even.

[Troutman]

Sweet, a round Santa Maria. Offer $50 and get it !!!

[CaptainMike]

What Cheef said, get that thing. Maybe haggle a little, but don't let it slip away. I use my SM grill every chance I can and you will love it. It appears to be very well built and passes the "coolness" test. Open fire cooking is really fun.

DH suggested this would be a suitable bribe.

[Mudkat]

Ha! Ha! Yup!

….quickest way to a mans heart cars n food....amongst other things.

[Attjack]

I would buy that with a quickness!

[klflowers]

Grab it ASAP!!!

[Backroadmeats]

If you are not going to buy it.. where is it located?? I would be interested in that .

[IowaGirl]

Backroadmeats -- I've asked the owner if the grill is still for sale, and I'm going to hold this close to my vest for the moment. If this falls through, I promise I'll pass the info on to you ASAP.

[Backroadmeats]

Good enough I wouldn't tell anyone if I knew where it was either.. thanks

[Mudkat]

Is it in Iowa by chance?

too bad Jon Solberg isn't still around I bet he has one

[Mr. Bones]

Jon's still around, jus not here...
I talked to him quite awhile, near Christmas, sends his regards to Th Pit...

[IowaGirl]

Hi, Mudkat -- Yep, it's in Iowa. I take it that Jon likes grills like this one?

[Mudkat]

He had some interesting over the fire setups IowaGirl. Des Moines? 😀

Mr. Bones Thanks for clarifying! It did sound like I thought he passed.

[Mr. Bones]

If that was local to me, I'd likely already be pullin supper offa it...
I'd haggle, see what happens...

[IowaGirl]

It's not super local like in my backyard, but it's close enough that I'm willing to drive to pick it up.

Thanks (I think!) for the encouragement, fellas.

[Mr. Bones]

Quite Welcome, Milady!
Some of us have ever lived to serve...
