7 Tips For Buying a Used Grill

[@Anteater23]

The ‘Webber’ tip really works.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

Thank you very much for sharing all this great content. I appreciate you

Your Weber performer with the plastic table, charcoal baskets and Weber grill cover for $100 on marketplace is exactly what I got. Mine is the Gen II version with the gas assist light. I bought some degreaser and a new grate and it works just like new.

[@GrillTopExperience]

Perfect. You got the Deluxe version too. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of elbow grease.

Great tips. Your "webber" trick reminded me of my Craiglist seach string: ('weber grill'|'weber charcoal'|'weber kettle'|'weber smoker'|'weber bbq'|webber|'charcoal grill'|'barbecue'|'bbq') -islands

[@juangomez409]

This is true for everything, not just bbq grills, thanks for the video 🤘🏼👀👍🏼

Grills new in box are huge. However, if you only have a sedan, I recommend taking it out of the box. Pieces are easier to fit vs a giant box.

I got an Oklahoma joe Highland offset on KSL last week for $25. It was rusted up but I seasoned it and burned it in and it looks and cooks good as new.

[@GrillTopExperience]

What a score and it only took a bit of work! Fellow Utahn here. You probably recognized the screenshots.

[@fdlopezjimenez]

Great advice and I echo everything said!

[@RenzoRosales_FL]

I have a jumbo Joe and looking to buy a performer model, I found local options for less than 50 bucks, great vid!

[@RenzoRosales_FL]

Your other video on grill cleanup makes it a no-brainer to go with a used one if it's in good condition

[@GrillTopExperience]

That's a great find! With a little elbow grease, it'll look great. I know someone who regularly rehabs and flips grills so they don't end up at the dump.

[@RobFerrellDrumStudio]

Great video and super timely! Thank you Ryan! 🙏🏻

[@GrillTopExperience]

I hope you find the diamond in the rough!

For Weber kettles, make certain the lid fits on the bowl in every direction so you can direct the draft where you want it while smoking. If the ash pan is missing replace it with a cheap stainless steel mixing bowl for less money. Take it to the pay&spray carwash on the way home. “Curb-ies” is what I call the free bbqs I find on the curb!

[@GrillTopExperience]

The lid fit is super important. Great tip! You can find some free ones if you keep your eyes peaked and get lucky.

When I sold my Grills chimp, I gave him a KZbin link to a short edited video of the grill starting up, and working at temperature, as well as a walkthrough of all the parts. It was a pretty easy sell. The market sucks for pellet grills down here in south Texas so I took a 50% hit for only 8 months of use.

[@GrillTopExperience]

That's a lot of work to get it sold, but going the extra mile probably made the difference. I've got one to pass on as well.

[@MitchAndPhilip]

We just found an old Weber kettle grill in the garage when we were cleaning to move!

[@GrillTopExperience]

Score! Forgotten, but not gone. That'll pair nicely with the gasser you two have been looking at.

[@OscarM.94]

Very helpful video

[@FritzFrank]

Very nice tips! 👍👏🍻

[@GrillTopExperience]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jwalk23]

Great video! I got one without the triangle leg support on 22' recently. Question for you is it really necessary to have it? Could I do without it for a while?

[@jernigan007]

still cooks the same

[@jwalk23]

@@jernigan007 good point! Get one later

[@GrillTopExperience]

If you aren't moving it around much, it'll be fine.

[@chubbyjohnson5480]

Meeting at someone's home can be a concern. I don't mind, myself. I've never had any issues. But I'm also over 6 feet tall and over 300lbs. And I'm always packing. Most folks are really nice, though. If you are concerned, take someone else with you.

[@gacj2010]

Wow , this guy knows a lot besides grilling stuff that gets me hungry every time ... great tips..really

[@GrillTopExperience]

Thanks, but I don't think I cooked anything in this one! Time to grill!

[@DukeGamingShorts]

When do we see the Kamado Joe in action?

[@GrillTopExperience]

I'm still getting used to it since it behaves differently than the kettle. It'll definitely show up in a future video.

[@markknister6272]

Good tips. ALWAYS go with someone to another’s back yard. You are carrying cash…..

[@GrillTopExperience]

It's a good tip in any situation. When I picked up the performer, the lady didn't want to come to the door and I ended up leaving the cash under a power washer handle. It's not easy for the seller either.

[@CharlieMarno100]

I buy used bikes. All these tips work for bikes as well.

[@GrillTopExperience]

Agreed. The text message screenshot was from me buying a used bike from someone. You can find some really good deals from people who only want to keep a bike for a year or so!

[@jernigan007]

Bring cash and a friend.
