Not only used, check damaged units for sale, or even free.
I received a good quality Vermont Castings gas grill as a gift at least twenty years ago and I've kept it going by replacing parts as needed.
People would rather buy new than fix old, so if you can fix the old you'll save a lot.
Lol, once again I spoke it into existence! I seriously get so much free stuff.
I got a Weber Genesis (brown) on the street today, everything works, the owner just bought a new one.
I stopped at Costco, and they have them on sale at $799, so that's likely where he got it.
I was starting a new job in a nice neighborhood and it was garbage day.
I saw a grill facing away from the street mixed in with the garbage cans and assumed it was being tossed, but I went up the road to talk to the clients.
The garbage trucks came and emptied the cans.
When I was leaving the neighborhood the grill was still there, so I stopped to check it out; lo and behold, a Weber in good shape!
I went and knocked on the door just to make sure it was up for grabs. Yes, they said, take it!
They had left it out for the garbage man, which I thought was a little strange, but the garbage had come and gone, so I loaded it in my trailer and started strapping it down.
Just then, a box truck with a lift gate branded with the garbage haulers logo showed up and sat there for tem minutes while I secured it, then did a U turn and drove away.
I'm sure the garbage man messaged someone to come grab it!
Too slow ;-)
The owner came down to get his can and told me it was 14 years old, and has always worked great.
He didn't think anyone would want it!
My current grill is a 25 year old Vermont Castings I got new that I have kept in good working order, so this is an upgrade.
