It’s got to be the Swamp Boys line up for me. Original, Bold Yeller (spicy mustard sauce), and Bootleg Red (vinegar sauce).

Donna you are on the right track. In my class I teach when you wrap, leave the ends open. Meat side down, add your wrap ingredients, fold foil lengthwise over the ribs from each side, and leave the ends open but gently turned up to keep the liquid in. You still get the braising benefits, but you...

Give Swamp Boys Original Rub a try sometime. It has a hint of cinnamon and has helped win lots of $$ on ribs at bbq contests.

Nothing against Rec Tecs, but check out the Traeger Timberline series too. I have 3 of the 850's, they have been bulletproof in the 6-8 months I've had them. Double wall insulated and the software/programmable component is amazing. Disclosure - I am sponsored by them, but I'm telling the truth...

Definitely plan on getting your pork done early, 2-3 hours in a tight cooler is not too long at all. You can even plan on getting your ribs done early too. I would try not to be more than an hour early for ribs though. It's likely too late to change, but hot and fast is your friend. 5-6 hours on...

I used Rustoleum HHU on my end caps. I love the look but the product itself is not working. It has never hardened, and my cover sticks to it. Paint sticks to the cover, the end caps have impressions of the fabric on them. I've read of others having the same problem. I'll have to redo them with a...

I love my GrillGrates.

Nice! Are you going to get it?

Great score Bruce and great job on the swap out. Now you've got me thinking and looking lol.

That is too pretty not to save and restore, you've got to do it. Like Chris said, the Weber people will likely just give you a 5-10 year date range. If you look inside on either the aluminum end caps or cook box you'll likely see the date stamped on it like this: Mine doesn't have casters...

My nephew who picked up the grill for me forgot to bring the manual with the grill, so I don't have it yet. When I do get it I will scan and send you the files. Regarding the other ad, it was shared with me from the vintageadbrowser.com site. As far as I'm concerned you can, but I don't claim...

Those are great ads Chris. Good find. I had thought the slats were redwood, but according to these ads they are cedar. And these look to have the LP scale like mine has.

No they are black plastic. The ones in the ad below are also black. Here's the picture of an old advertisement showing the 3 wide-slat format with a burner on the right side. Don't be confused by the wooden deck slats under the snow. The lower storage shelf slats run lengthwise. Here is...

Don't do it for the reasons you mention.

Well if it figures in at all I have a pretty good idea of the provenance. It was owned by Jack Quesinberry who was the longest seated Mayor for Winter Garden FL. He moved to WG in 1969 and in my opinion with his assets would not buy a used grill. I bought it at the estate sale for his home in...
