BidProwl Summary
Groen Gas Tilt Skillet, 40-gallon stainless steel commercial unit of completely unknown operational status, untested and as-found with no verification of ignition, gas valve function, or heating capability. Restaurant equipment resellers and scrap metal buyers target these lots for parts harvesting, thermocoupler replacement, or heavy-duty stainless recovery, though functional units command premium resale to catering operations. Before bidding, plan to physically inspect the gas valve assembly, igniter, and tilt mechanism for corrosion or damage, verify the unit hasn't been seized or stripped, and confirm you have transport and installation labor figured out since the seller deliberately didn't test it.

Description from GovDeals
Are you a gambler? A mechanical wizard? Or maybe just someone who looks at a massive, non-functional 40-gallon piece of stainless steel and thinks, “I could turn that into the ultimate backyard crawfish cooker”?
Up for bid is a Groen Gas Tilt Skillet of unknown operational status.
Does it spark up and blast heat like a dragon on command? Maybe.
Does it need a $20 igniter component? Quite possibly.
Is it currently acting as a very large, expensive room-temperature stainless steel bowl? Also a distinct possibility.
We haven't plugged it in, hooked up the gas, or asked it nicely to turn on. It is being sold 100% AS-IS, UNTESTED, AND AS-FOUND.
Why you should still fight for this giant metal mystery box:
The High-Stakes Thrill: Bidding on untested commercial equipment is the working man’s casino. Fix it for fifty bucks and you’re a genius who just saved $8,000.
Scrap & Stainless Value: Even if the gas valves are completely dead, there’s enough solid, heavy-duty stainless steel here to make a decent armor set or a ridiculously over-engineered ice chest for parties.
The Tilt Still Tilts: Mechanical crank mechanism doesn't need gas to work. Great for dumping... whatever you end up putting in it.
Bragging Rights: "Oh, this? Yeah, brought it back from the dead. Just needed a little elbow grease and a thermocouple."
Condition: Untested. Mystery status. Sold AS-IS / For Parts or Repair. Bring a truck, a couple of strong buddies, and your tool bag.
Bid low, dream big, and may the culinary gods be ever in your favor!
