+1 on Webber. Scored some nice units from sellers that cant spell Weber.

If you are serious, search as often as you can.... I found a nice OTG Black last weekend 10 minutes from my house & bought if for $15.... Been checking all day & guess it was on CL no longer than an hour or so, she just got a Traeger & was glad to see it go (ME TOO)..... Also the other tips/tricks work well also..... Missed a couple this weekend under copper/gold & red kettle, about an hour from my house but couldn't get away..... They were off CL in about an hour....

Depends on what time of year your searching. In our neck of the woods, in winter time you can pick up a weber for dirt cheap.
I have 4, 3 were bought $15. or less, and one my dad rescued from the trash dumpster...

Get a smartphone and constantly look at things. You would be surprised how quick things can sell. I had a PK grill sold out from underneath me even though I told the guy I wanted it sight unseen and we arranged a time to go over. I should have contacted the guy and gone there immediately.

Using the term gill doesn't always work. I use barbeque, barbecue, smoker, bbq, etc. as well. Misspellings are common as well as leaving brand names off. The PK grill just said charcoal grill in the title and best grill in the world in the description; $30! sigh....

I also use Zoomthelist but will try the other one listed as Zoom lists expired items as well. But you can search by state, etc.

Also, be persistent on communications. There are people that are really flakey on CL. You sometimes wonder if they really want to sell!
