BBQ grills great find next to the dumpster

[Sprinklerman]

I was picking up some parts at the irrigation supply house , and a couple doors down there is a high end outdoor kitchen business . A guy was unloading this stainless grill , and getting a new really BIG one . I walked over and asked what you doing with the old grill ? ( I saw it was stainless steel , I was thinking scrap metal a couple bucks) The guy says you can have it , and the business even loaded it on my trailer with a forklift . ( weighs around 300 lbs ) He tells me it works but needs burners . So I get it home and look it up . Its a dynamic cooking systems DCS 48d -bqr with cabinet . I see what they are retailing for today .........$ 7100.00
Yes Seven grand . So I break out the power washer and clean it for an hour and it looks good . let it dry off and the burner for the wood chips is shot . The others look fine . So I grab a propane bottle and give it a try . turn the spark ignitors , nothing . So I grab the grill lighter and every burner fires up .even the wood chip one , but it still needs replacement . Broke it all down last night , and ordered all the parts on line . Ignitors , wood chip tray , and ceramic things ........ $ 138.00 .

this thing is well built . I would never drop that kind of cash on a grill , but for a couple hours and less than $ 150 in parts , no problem .

Wow good find on that, sometimes it pays to be at the right place at the right time.

Awesome score!

It amazes me how much people will spend on grills. At some point, they really can't cook any better. I think it may be more about having a fancy looking outdoor kitchen setup.

Most people dump grills because the burners rust out. They don't know you can replace them for 10 bucks each. A stainless grill should last forever.

People are dumb and some people are lazy. Their loss. Your gain.

I'd like to take some of that $$$ wasted on stainless grill and make a stainless mower deck.

$7k grill not working? Go buy another, larger one instead of fixing it. That folks, is what we call "rich people problems."

Now there is a great idea.

Stainless mower deck, and in fact should really not add more than 10% to to the price, and at that maybe not even as it would be the same dies and no paint and preparation work.

Branding would be decals.
