That is almost $100 less than Lowe's......I would say it is a good price. Of course - I"m a Craigslist shopper too.. always worth a peek.

I like my Performer (the table and the gas starter) but this looks like a good price for a new 1 touch. You will enjoy the bottom vent and ash catcher. Good luck!

Anything under $300 is good.  You could also get a performer silver for $229.

I got my one touch at Lowes on sales for $75.00 which is a 22.5. This included the Rotissierie kit and a grill grate kit. They normally sell the this unit for $149.00. Normally, I also get my 10 per cent military discount at Lowes including everything on sale or not. So, I would say that is a very good price.

After I purchase something, I always seem to have buyers remorse and wonder if I should have purchased the bigger model. Always, count on the fact that you will be buying attachments for this unit to make it do something that you cannot do today. In that case the 22.5 has more aftermarket attachments for it made either by Weber or vendors who make their living by selling add ons for the Weber like Kettlepizza, Smoke EZ, or Cajun Bandit. Keep this in mind as you go forward. And, these attachments are not inexpensive.

It is a good price, but I am skeptical of anyone on eBay selling for that kind of price new on an item that is so consistently priced.  The other thing I would consider is whether you need the big one.  This is one case where I think smaller is OK.  The 22.5" is just so much cheaper than the 26.5."

And...there are SO many accessories for the 22.5. Not so much for the 26.5

I agree with everyone about the OTG 22 being a better deal. You can pick that one up at Amazon
for $149.00.  The OTG 26 retails for $299 just about everywhere you look.  Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for your advice, folks...

I went with the 22 1/2 inch $10 model from a local vendor.  (yard sale)

Ya done good, Jaxon. Even if you have to replace some parts, that's an outstanding price as long as you don't have rust through on the leg supports. Anything less than that and you are ready for years of grilling happiness.
