    Genesis Junior -- Skyline Edition

    A few years ago, I had a spare Genesis lid lying around and decided to see if my angle grinder and I could cut it down to Junior size. We could. Two years ago, I picked up a trashed Skyline, parted out what I could and stored the lid away in my garage. Yesterday, we went to work on the...

    Who Has Gas Assist But Chooses to Use Another Method to Light Coal (and why)?

    There is a part of NJ that falls below the Mason-Dixon line . . .

    Anyone have Measurents of Kettle Height, not including legs of 18" Kettle vs 18" Jumbo Joe - thinking of making my own version of portable 18"

    I modified an 18" to use on the dock at my cabin. Aside from cutting down the legs, I added the lid bale from a first-generation outrider.

    Who Has Gas Assist But Chooses to Use Another Method to Light Coal (and why)?

    My SSP-centric $.02: I bought a non-assist SSP in 2018 into which I transplanted a sage green bowl and lid. I was perfectly happy using a Weber cube to light a chimney. About a year and a half later I stumbled across a free gas-assist SSP and transplanted the gas-assist bits along with a Crate...

    What is blue wave?

    That's a genuine Weber color. Whether it was a Euro color, I can't say. I picked it up in Brooklyn. There's a theory that it was part of a Superstorm Sandy relief program from Weber because another one was found in the same area that came with a small pack of lighter cubes and some other...

    Feeler Genesis S-320 sidewinder - "some" assembly required

    After completing my 3-burner Junior project in late 2020, I set about to refresh my S-320. I got everything disassembled and started painting the floor and lower frame parts that needed painting. I didn't finish before outdoor-painting season ended, so I stowed everything away in the garage...

    What Exactly is a “bro & sear” and Why Do I Need One?

    I prefer "Criminally Frugal." I made my BnS from charcoal baskets that came with a second hand grill I bought. I upgraded it by using a scrap piece of expanded metal on the bottom to better hold smaller bits of lump charcoal. By my precise mathematical calculation, I get 80% of the benefit...

    What color is the SSP nirvana?

    The SSP was originally a non-assist model (hence, the lack of casters). I later added gas-assist from a donor SSP. The Sage came from a One-Touch Platinum, so it had the brackets and lid bale, but not the gas-assist holes. The Blue and Crate & Barrel Green each came from a gas-assist...

    What color is the SSP nirvana?

    I've housed several different bowls in my SSP. Still not sure which is my favorite: Sage: Limited Edition Red: Crate & Barrel Green: Blue: And my current setup, Ivory:
