Marinated some flanken short ribs as LA Style Kalbi and decided to do a head to head with my new to me GrillGrates on the Vieluxe I cleaned and seasoned the GG with grapeseed oil all over and let them cool. Preheated both on low then medium (with SS rods - I always cover with disposable...

Sheesh! If you were closer I’d want to upgrade to a 6 burner…

The holes on the smoker tube look uneven Maybe the previous owner tried to make some repairs…

I’ll let Jon render final judgment, but I think that unit is salvageable… similar condition to mine that I plan to refurbish one day. Panels have enough material to reinforce Burners in decent shape Hangers and support bracing look to be intact The keps nuts holding the side panels are what...

Would have to be a pretty large case… hopefully with wheels I just moved the box with my arm holding the “back” and the “front” resting on my hip - wouldn’t want to do that for more than a few yards I see the travel case has handles on the left and right ends - doable for two people but...

Ugggh… just picked up 22 - remembered I had $20 ace coupon and couldn’t pass it up I think if you secured the lid closed with straps on each end - you wouldn’t absolutely need bag Haven’t seen the Weber bag you mentioned but not sure how cumbersome it would be to lift with just one arm

Ok checked out both 22 & 17 non-slate versions - both on clearance for $224 & $170(?) Both are substantial (heavy) - if you have space go for 22 Compared to Blackstone 22 portable (no lid) $169 but not on sale: much heavier, much thicker griddle, much smoother surface, burners wind protected...

I’m going to drop by the local Ace to get a feel for sizing… Currently have the “slate” full size insert for my Vieluxe- usable space is about 23x14 so just about same as this griddle. I tried a cast iron insert that replaced one grate, but that did not reach temps needed for smash burgers...

So… $199 at select TrueValue stores $229 from Home Depot delivered https://www.homedepot.com/p/Weber-Traveler-Griddle-2-Burner-Propane-Gas-Portable-22-in-Flat-Top-Grill-in-Black-1500213/328250419

I was looking at those… Can u take a pic of additional details like burner arrangement and grease management? Reviews were complaining about hot spot on lower right corner

I saw this bit set on daily deal at Lowe’s - includes full set of PoziDrive bits for $10 1-in Screwdriver Bit Set 100 -Piece https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-100-Piece-1-in-Set-Steel-Hex-Shank-Screwdriver-Bit-Set/1002653024 Thinking back I believe I may have used a M2.5 Phillips screw as a...

Regular oil will work but you will need to keep applying it This blue stuff globs on and you can go longer before adding more

Anything but cobalt or carbide will probably be destroyed cutting stainless steel - so don’t expect meaningful use of the steps after you’re done I used this for extracting some stainless bolts that had sheared - easier to use since it stays put but maybe not any better than regular oil...

So I pulled the grease trough after yesterday’s rib and pastrami cook and here’s the ash buildup I found… probably about 30ish hours total of low and slow cooking Does this look about right? Could I wait longer before vacuuming the ash out? When should I remove the burn pot and clean out the...

The OG summit burners will be 0.5in shorter and the flame will start very close to the front panel of the cook box - but it really is the only option if you can’t salvage the Vieluxe burners I would probably consider welding closed the first few orifices to keep the flames off the front panel...
