A hunting we will go:

In our usual routine, John and I would meet weekly to discuss Penguin Bottling Company and the CharBQ. And during our time apart, we would email and text message ideas. We both were creatively thinking about the CharBQ video and still images that we would need to act as our pitch. We agreed that we need to get a clean gas grill, and while we both owned grills, we knew neither grill would look good for the task and so John, had a plan.

The plan was simple, on bulk night, which happens monthly in Gaithersburg, MD, we would hunt down and pick up a used gas grill, buy and make whatever parts were necessary to make the unit look good and use it for the video and pictures. So, on bulk trash night, we set out on a search of a used barbecue. We simply needed a barbecue that was neither too big or too small, your typical barbecue.
Luck was on our side, on that night, we found a unit that fit our criteria. We hopped out of John's pickup truck and gently placed the barbecue in the bed of the pickup. Naturally, we continued on our quest for any other items that may be lying around. As we were making our rounds, picking up spare computer parts and shelving, we came across another barbecue. This one was even better that the one that we had in our truck bed. I turned and suggested to John that we perform a swap, remove the unit that stood on the owners curb with the unit that laid down in the back of his truck. Naturally, John would not hear of it and so we gently placed a second barbecue in the back of the pickup. Could you imagine the look on the homeowner's face the next morning? He would have awoken to find that his high end trashed barbecue was reduced it to a no frills, bare bones BBQ! I would have loved to see that reaction, in any event, the lower end unit was placed in front of my house for bulk pickup and the other unit (what you see in our video) was dropped off in my garage for repair and maintenance.
The next couple of days, I spent my daytime hours rebuilding the unit, removing the rusted out burners and flavor bar and cleaning and removing all of the grease. I gave the entire unit a good scrub, then painted and touch up the unit and made it as presentable as possible.
