No matter what you do the firebox will get some rust on it because the heat burns off any paint eventually. A good sandblasting and some high temp paint will make it look new for a while. You can also steam clean the inside and re-season if you want.
I'd offer $700 to "take it off of his hands" and see what he says.
Good move!
Ron's point is spot on regarding the fire box.
As far as the inside goes, all it needs is a cleaning. I would think you would do that anyway as it is a used pit.
My biggest concern would be using the gas assist set up to start the fire.
Although it is an upgrade feature it scares the hell out of me. Especially since
one of our Brethren had a bad accident with one several years ago on a larger pit. Please make sure everything is in working order with the gas assist before using it.
Good luck with it. Gator makes quality pits so I'm sure it will work great for you.
I'd ditch the gasser starter myself.
buy it!!
you are a smart man!!
Call Ritch at Gator Pit if you got any questions. Tell him you picked up a used Gator and he will be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
the guys got a Bentley in the garage
he can afford to come down $100
:becky:
but I would grab it for $800 for sure
edit..
oops did not see you already bought it
congrats!!!
I own a party gator...paid over 3k for mine including shipping...so 800 is a steal...buy it before someone else does...one question (and this is a biggie). Does it have tuning plates? If yes buy it...If not offer 600...tuning plates are a life saver with this smoker
I bought a used klose 20x30 from a brother this summer. The fire box looked worse than yours but within a few hours of getting it home I had it looking like new. You made the right call to buy it, nice find.
Remember to Post some pics or better yet a video!!
I'd give $800 - if it is as nice as he says. I'd of done gone and seen it cuz probally won't last Dallas area CL Is full of junk pits for A lot more $ right now!! Bunch of Crack Monkeys around here.......
After checking Dallas Crsigslist list again I'd say you got an Excellent Deal - you oughta see the Junk on CL around here for $1000-$1200-$1500-$1800!!!! :shocked:
OHHH! You're gonna love it!!
Great deal! Get to feeling better so you can use it.
Ain't that the truth. I've given up looking for a good deal on a used pit. Seems like anybody with a welder and a used propane tank feels like they can earn four figures.
