I'm not quite sure where the best place for this is . I can get this smoker locally off Craiglist for $100 and was hoping I could get some opinions on whether it's worth it or not. The gentleman says it's around 3 years old.

 

fire it up

Long as the inside is in fine shape I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

Ditto check the fire box for wall thickness. If ok I would grab it.

It is older than 3 or 4 years because it is one made before New Braunfels sold out to Charbroil..

It is well worth the price if it is not rusted out...

Grab it, you will be amazed at what a little sanding and some paint can do for the outside. If the inside is sound go for it.

I would start off by offering him $50.00 he will probably take it if you start to walk away...

You got it! Nothing a little wire wheel won't take off looks like. Offer him up lower and see what happens!

If it's a heavy gauge steel, go for it.
