Hey there,
I was curious as to how its going with your used BWS? I just purchased a used Party G2 off facebook marketplace from a retired competition team. Lite Blue BBQ out of Woodburn, OR. It had definitely seen some use, but I'm really excited to break it in this weekend. Would love to know what you've learned so far, was it a good purchase for you? Did you decide to paint? How's the Q?!

Hi - it was a completely fail. The seller represented that only the ash tray was rusted; er no. It was full of ash, and as I vaccummed out the inside (after purchasing it) I found pretty much the entire fire box rusted out. So, there was no inner and outer walls, meaning there would be no way for the smoke to roll up the inside walls then back down through the rear outlet. Also, the rack supports were rusted out.
SOOO, lesson learned. If you buy used, you best check that puppy out with a flashlight, tools, etc.
I was so turned off from the potential to inherit someone else's problem that I bought a new Humphrey Pint.
