    Rust on inside of a Genesis 310 from 2007-2010

    Agree. Wax is not the best solution. It works well for knocking the glare of shotguns for waterfowl hunting, but not for preventing rust. Spent 20 years dealing with rust on ships. In the boiler rooms and engine rooms of ships. 1200 psi at 975 degrees I have spent a lot of time behind a needle...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    No it is the Weber Rotisserie kit. Bought it in 2011 for $139. Gone up a bit in price since then, now they are $235 I do have the Cajun Bandit stacker and rotisserie for the WSM Both have quite a bit of use and still working fine yet

    Napoleon vs Weber

    Crazy world that live in now that they even have to pass laws like that. Slow them down for a bit is about all can hope for. When gas grills are outlawed then only outlaws will own gas grills :p Don't get me wrong, I even have an Earth First bumper sticker on my truck

    Napoleon vs Weber

    True but something good has come out of what has happened in that one County and State. Since it has happened in just a few months 24 States, almost half of the US, has enacted laws to prevent restricting the use of Natural Gas & propane by local communities and municipalities in those States...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    When the Motorola RAZR first came out 20 years ago they contracted with Pemstar in Rochester, Mn. to manufacture them. Pemstar was an electronics contract manufacture and most were made at a new plant in China. R&D and engineering services were in Rochester with limited manufacturing, primarily...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    What I do with the WSM and ATC. Although prefer to use the computer instead of the phone app, that is why I got a gateway. Hard to read phone screen with even 3X glasses at this point in my life LOL. Built a weather proof enclosure for the ATC. And ran a sump pump hose from the forced air fan...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    Those working surprising well. The Admiral (2 star upper half) bought a house in SD that 4 of us retired Navy hunt pheasant out of in November. Someone picked up a Ronco at a yard sale for $25 and the prime rib turned out better than I thought it would with it. We even let a couple of retired AF...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    While there is no doubt from any market survey that pellet poopers are increasing in sales gas is not going away, yet. One of the greatest weaknesses of pellet poopers to me is the lack of actual smoke flavor. And I'm not the only one. On the other hand that is also a strength for them many...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    Well you made me go look and just rented it. Took me awhile to find it because out of habit typed in Crapberry. My first programing language in college was APL, a programing language. In 1976. Taught my oldest son both Apple and Windows Systems along with Nix. He is a SysAdmin in Boston now at...

    I will just leave this here

    My shooting and hunting buddy more than 30 years ago was clocked at 3 figures on his bike. The judge told him if he was ever pulled over again in Cook County he would go to jail. He was young. And dumb, his words. Around here when a car goes flying by way over the speed limit it is usually a...

    Napoleon vs Weber

    Pretty much every comparison out there says the same thing. These guys in Denver have hundreds of videos, a lot of them comparing Weber to Napoleon. One point they make is that Weber is made overseas. Napoleon in Canada. Napoleon Grills Cart Models (Are They Still the Best and Worth the...

    Excellent steaks...hot 3 burner genesis...8 steaks on FIRE

    No, it will not. It isn't about grill marks although visual has a lot to do with food appeal. It has to do with the flavor they impart by the fats and oils burning off in the valleys right under the meat. Weber flavorizer bars were designed to do that but the grillgrates do it better and more...

    Has Weber outsourced its customer support?

    Scheels still has them with the blue for $249 but says only a few left If you are considering one I highly recommend after using mine. It was the right choice, for me. The Q2200 was just too large and Napoleon makes the Pro version which because of the higher lid is as large as the Q2200 . The...

    Excellent steaks...hot 3 burner genesis...8 steaks on FIRE

    This. I went one step further and bought the full GG replacement grills for the E330 back when I first got it 8 years ago. The fat hits the valleys and flares briefly as it burns off and gives everything more of a real grilled flavor. With the gasser I turn everything to high to do the sear...

    When in doubt, go with the tenderloins!

    Gots to let them grow a bit before you even get tenderloins. Backstraps are on young Bovines but the Tenderloins are the prize. Doesn't matter the critter. But have to let them grow large enough to develop them. Yes to tenderloins and yours look beautiful! Tenderloins not even developed yet...
