    That's a lot of kettles...

    I got an ad for one of these Kalamazoo stainless kamado grills. Decked out with marine grade stainless, you can have your own for just $14,700, or you can by over a half dozen WSKs or about 50 extra nice Weber kettles...

    Good News for Weber: Tractor Supply will be selling Weber grills online AND IN STORES!

    I get the CookOut News emails. The latest one said that Tractor Supply is trying to expand their presence in grills and will soon be selling Webers online AND IN THEIR STORES. I feel Weber has had to have been hurt by the declining space offered to their grills by the Home Depot/Lowes monolith...

I will be selling addtional ones that need some preparation that I can't get to before April 15 end of tax season. I am located in West Central Indiana...

    Not yet...

    We had to have our van worked on at the dealership in Terre Haute. After my wife took it home, I got to do a few fun things: stop at Academy Sports, Sam's Club and Chick Fil-A. Lots of Pit Boss grills at Academy, but sadly the Titan was in hiding. They had an offset smoker priced at $1,899 that...

    Look Familiar?

    So just how close can an import "brand" get to Weber's packaging and get by with it? I got these non-OEM grates at a really good deal on Amazon, but I was pretty shocked when I opened the shipping box and thought for a minute that I had received a WEBER set. Have a look: The grates look very...

    Unicorn Found! The Weber Flat Top FT-400

    I have made comments over the years that I have been on TVWBB about how much I would like to own a Weber Flat Top. If you haven't heard of this obscure grill, it was essentially a 1st generation Summit without a hood but instead with fold-out grease defectors and very cool sliding covers that...

    Used Weber Flame prices maybe a great deal after all!

    The AI that tracks what I say and look at, hunted me down with this new gas flame pit or whatever it is called: https://www.proudpyro.com/collections/all/products/pyro-tower-complete-kit?variant=39850010673222 The prices on used Weber Flames are starting to look really good!

    All you need instant read thermometer for $14.99

    We toss around the relative merits of the Thermoworks Thermapen One and ThermoPro's Lightning. They are both great thermometers. However, truthfully for most any user, this one on sale for $14.99 is all you need. I have used it myself (until my wife absconded with it and it became our kitchen...

    Beauty in Simplicity: The Genesis XX (Jr.)

    Beauty in Simplicity: The Genesis XX (Jr.) We have had some interesting posts about Genesis Jr. grills. A while back I posted this discussion about the earliest versions of the Jr. They had the odd names "XX" and "XXI" in 1988 before the name was changed to Jr. in 1989 with only model offered...

    Drip Tray Option

    Looks like Qlimetal - a company that I respect above the sea of herevtodsy, gone tomorrow companies with odd sounding names on Amazon - has answered the call for replacement large grease trays on older grills. Not cheap, but at least there is someplace to get them: For Silver/Gold/later...

    CharQerie

    A while back I picked up this really nice CharQ. That allowed me to disassemble my tired old one and add it to my mountain of unfinished projects. In the meantime, I have this almost perfect one to grill on. Tonight I did an easy favorite that goes with my attempts at losing some weight...

    Teaching an old 1998 Summit dog some new 2023 Weber Crafted Kitchen tricks!

    I have posted a lot about the 1st generation Summit I bought from @LMichaels. After a long slumber disassembled, I was so happy to be able to finally get it all redone and turn it into my daily driver gas grill. It is old school, but in a good way. I have never enjoyed grilling more than on this...
