IIRC the tank hangs. It is a little 5lb tank

Not sure what that aberration was in the photo. But whatever those remains were are now in the bag of my shop vac and I am DEFINITELY NOT gonna do a post mortem. Just gonna take that bag off and in the trash it goes. I had to open things up just a bit more but it made it easier to snake a hose...

IDK what that is. Maybe when I open things up more I can tell. I'll post back. Just took a lunch and coffee break. Heading back to it now

It's a nice grill BUT Z Grills support software for the PID controller is primitive at best, and their customer support is very sllllooooowwww to non existent. If I was gonna buy another I'd buy a Searwood, or a Traeger both of which have far better customer support where you don't have to email...

OK I followed advice from Timothy. I was able to carefully remove baseboard trim. Snuck the camera in and I THINK maybe I found some type of "remains" of something. I am going to open it up closer to where the camera saw this. Go in with my shop vac nozzle and clean everything out in there. Then...

Honestly I think on tis subject Horsman's complaints are mostly due to his crazy fascination with stipes on his meat and constantly opening the grill to look at his little pucks and such. I have a large Z Grill 1100 2B, and a Members Mark Pro Series pellet grill. Both have "top speeds" of 500...

I don't think I could get the trim off without breaking it. I'm not that good at it.

I will vary with Chat GPT. I don't like mineral spirits for prep cleaning. IMO it leaves a slight "film". After all it's just diesel that "knows somebody". Actually more akin to K1 kerosene.

Yeah, I've kinda been thinking about going after it today. And not saying anything to her. Sometimes better to ask forgiveness than permission :D Thing is I think to be effective I will need to open 3 walls. Because IDK where the "corpse" may be. Though I have a suspicion it's in the area...

Yep, I gave her a great "beginner's" grinder. Also a great little scale. And, that little Cuisinart 5 cup machine makes an incredibly good little pot of Joe. Especially when you take it's low price into consideration. And then I give her my really nice beans. So, I am sure she's enjoying herself

Yes as Jon said that control panel can be found on any 1st gen Summit 400 series. And lately I've been seeing them around quite cheap to free. That is great the slide tops are in good shape. My guess is the firebox may be in decent shape as well. Because with no lid the front panel does not see...

Well I did caulk up that opening. I started with the one I photographed and "scoped" finding a dead end. however I found a smaller nearly unnoticed hole under it. I did not bother to scope it but also wonder if MAYBE it was the source? Anyway I caulked it up as well. I had decided to cut the...

Well little by little things are definitely improving. Multiple cycles of 30 min of ozone generation. Followed by long "air out" periods with screen door open and a fan blowing fresh air into it. Improvement is upon me. :D

That is a top notch looking grill for $30
