Got a great deal on a grill last night

So I've been looking for a grill for the last few months, but with all of the spending we did fixing the trailer I was weary of spending $150 for a new one. During this time I've been trolling Craigslist for a Coleman Roadtrip LXE (seemed to be the easiest to find and the lowest I could get one had been $75.

Well last week someone had posted one for $25 that looked to be pretty beat up. Last night I was finally able to meet-up with the seller to pickup this well used, but surprisingly intact grill for $25. I've been cleaning it here and there all day, but it's getting there. I've honestly never seen a grill this dirty, but with some elbow grease I think this will serve us well for a long time. I'm starting to think the grease and ash have protected it in some way because it's starting to look good and I still have a ways to go.

The bottom line is I love finding a good deal!!!
  • I have the same thing hate it, it is the worst grill, cooks very uneven burns most everything. don't leave the bottle on it after cooking or you will most likely have no gas.
  • We have the same grill and love it. You can purchase extra tops for it such as a griddle and a pot holder, which comes in quite handy. With this grill, we hardly ever cook inside the trailer unless it's really raining out.
  • Since you've saved so much, you might want to a few $ and hook up to your RV's low pressure outside gas port.

  • I have one like new to sell for $75. Might have to go lower it seems. DW and I don't like the way it cooks. The design of the grill basically fries everything rather than fire grilling the food. Can be difficult to control the temp as well. It is very convenient but difficult to clean. Ended up wrapping the inside with foil each use and that made clean-up a little easier.
