Gearing up for Christmas

 

Thanks guys! Who wouldhave known that it's as easy as google searching. I'll go to a local propane supplier tomorrow first. It was a craigslist deal and the guy as asking $250 for it but when I got there I could tell that he had never cleaned the thing and it looked like it had been kept outside without a cover it's whole life. I told him I was going to pass on it but obviously he wanted it gone and he told me he'd let it go for $50. For that price I couldn't resist.

 

Nice! Worth it to clean up

 

For $50 I can't complain. Hell, it's like a $2600 grill when new. I gave it a good cleaning when I got home today and it actually looks to be in pretty decent shape. It just needs some new flavorizer bars and that propane conversion kit and then itll be good to go.

 

those get rusted out quick cuz of the salts and stuff falling down on them so basically a wear out item

 

I recommend treating them as a wearing cyclical item as well because if you nurse them longer than you should, that just goes down into the flame sticks instead.

I can’t remember their name so flame sticks it is. Mine last 2 years or so with my frequency of use but I do them yearly they’re cheap enough.

 

Another perfect reverse seared tri tip on the egg.

 

Doing my first ever brisket on my 22” Weber tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

 

Good luck bud! Do NOT rush it!

 

This is the one I should have got. The 18.5 is great, but those extra few inches makes everybody happy.

 

Ive never heard of an extra few inches making anyone UNhappy.

 

Also true.

 

Thanks! Getting up at 3 to get the fire started. Meat will go on at 4. 9 lbs after trimming and at 1.5 hrs/lb, I’m hoping to rest at 5 pm ish. We have plenty of booze and apps if it takes longer

 

sweet. Always good to cook around people who understand that 5 could become 8 easily

 

Nice! Post some pics when it’s done!

 

Ditto. I have JR recipe but prefer OG pitfaced.
