Jon, you certainly have a massive project ahead of you, but I am confident with your abilities and perseverance you will. be able to restore it to like new condition or better! Will be watching for progress reports.
Samuel, thats where I got mine a few years ago for my A. Its held up great, just as good as the ones for the B and of course easy to clean. Sure beats the old rust bucket tin ones. Think when I bought it was around $25 or so.
Tom Horsman used one from Outfitters Edge on the Bullseye a year ago, but that one is $135. His newer offering seems like a better deal; it might also allow a better end result for searing burgers, steaks and chops on the Pitboss. It has top end temp limits that mine doesn't, but perhaps steel...
I spotted this yesterday and told Josh this was exactly how I envisioned restoring one if I ever came across one! Amazing it popped up-maybe it's trying to tell me something! Wondered if that paint was the hammered metal type/color.
Thats pretty cheap! Amazing how many companies steal tech and duplicate it, cheap Chinese labor. I've been very happy with the Lightning Larry alerted us all to a few years ago which was pretty cheap. 6.39 is crazy!
I would also have to agree with our old pal Rich that Thermoworks is overrated...
Just like my old Sidewinder-now my sons-which is black and still looks classy. I would like to see him do it up "Josh" style, but he's prepping to buy a house. Maybe someday..........
