I've always struggled with the math's....but I say you won.

[HawkerXP]

I'm always looking at Performers either here or there. Good deal.

[Mr. Bones]

How it happened... I awoke to this markdown 23OCT18

You are going to have to be careful Huskee doesn’t ban you from the pit for making your signature too big. I think the list you currently have might already be missing a couple of cookers. Great find though.

[Mr. Bones]

LOL, yup, my signature needs to be updated, mebbe also reworked some...

[Huskee]

You know Mr. Bones , I never see deals in my local area on Craigslist, whenever I do check I get the rust bucket old grills and the ppl want $100 for it like it's new. You, know laughable postings like that, but never good deals.

But your post inspired me check again...and I see this. Hard to tell from the pic if it's the Original or the Premium with the ash collector and sweeper. Anyone have any idea? The good stuff is just out of view. However, I'm leaning toward it possibly being the Premium since that saucer of the Original might be wide enough to have been visible in this shot.

Regardless, $20 is pretty good deal if it's not bad inside.

I did ask for more pics than this, specifically of under the bowl and inside of it. Who knows, I might adopt a new one soon too....

[Mr. Bones]

Even an Original in good shape fer $20 is a great deal; a Premium would be even better, though!
Happy Huntin, Brother!

I have lotsa these spread all around this corner of th Territory, at family / friends / folks houses that always want me to cook fer parties, etc., so I don't have to drag a kettle, as well as everything else required to do so...

[Spinaker]

That is a good deal!

[Mr. Bones]

Huskee
Since I jus might happen to have access to mebbe a few Webers, I stepped outside, by my deck , an tried to emulate th CL post angle on an Original...



As we both suspected, ya can clearly see th ash pan, an ash sweep handle on th Original... (Mine are always wide open, to prevent mold...

Zoom in on yer CL find pic, see if ya see any of th annoyin lil wire thingies they use to set th ash pan on...or any marks where they were...

If not, it's likely a Premium...

Good Luck!

[Huskee]

You're awesome! What a guy. Yes, you have furthered my suspicions....unless the saucer is simply missing. I just can't quite tell from the pic if there's any clips, dunnit look like it though. I'd probably shell out $20 plus the 30-45 min one way drive to get it if it's a Premium, as long as the inside isn't trashed.

[Huskee]

Turns out the one I spotted is the original, and without the saucer ash tray. Clips were visible when the seller sent me better pics. Even at only $20, it's a pass from me. 😞

[Mr. Bones]

Good call; $20 originals are easy to come by, an only worth a sceond glance, if it's purty, an has wood handles...
Then, it jus might be worth snaggin...
Gimme a holler, if yer ever in doubt as to what yer lookin at, Brother!
