I really like Tom and enjoy most of his reviews. Something about the Searwood just seems to have gotten under his skin that he can't let go of. It seems to me that when he reviewed the new lower-price Traeger that it also showed temps on the digital screen that were not supported by his "pucks"...
On some grills like a Genesis SS Platinum, I am OK with the daisy-style, but the “regular” ones that preceded it generally look better. The first wide-whitewall type brings out the vintage look of the oldest grills.
When @Bruce and I went to Kansas City in May, one of the BBQ stores had a high-end Napoleon with similar cast stainless grates. They were very impressive and seem like the best of both worlds to me.
I have seen those before and always wondered how well the basic Broilmaster body adapted to charcoal. For me, it does not matter, as I have had the last fight with my wife about cooking with charcoal. No more charcoal grills for me as I have too many for cooking just for myself!
Josh,
Here is a picture of the original NG one:
I ordered this pair to see if they will work, hopefully also replacing the old gas lines as well, but at least the orifice ends. If they do, there is another place that sells just a single like I would need for the "oven" side...
Awesome! They obviously work perfectly. My valve is totally different, where the orifices are part of an elongated "nose piece" for lack of a better word. It has a female end that goes over the valve's male end.
Josh, I actually like many Broilmaster grills, but I just suspect that others find them "frump." Besides the "double/II" model, my personal favorite is to have the redwood slat shelves. You probably saw where my artist friend painted a Broilmaster logo on a homemade oak handle that I think...
I went ahead and bought one of the eBay ones. I hope I can actually get this monster done someday soon so I can see how it will look!!!!
I did soak the drip can holders in Evaporust. It did a better job than I expected. but I am thinking of coating with POR-15. That will really strengthen these...
That would be the way to go. I guess I will swallow my pride and buy one on eBay so I can do it right. You having that one to spare makes it within my tolerance level!
Surely there is something I can give to you in return...any wishlist items?
