I've heard of people using silicone plus a rope or Nomex-type (hi-temp) gasket to help with air leaks. Never heard of just sealant alone. Might try rotating the lid while cooking to see if there is a "sweet spot" that gives you a near-airtight fit. Though it's usually manufactured round...

Actually you should feel guilty and somewhat ashamed for that absolute highway robbery you just pulled off. :rolleyes: Just kidding (obviously). Great score............I think everybody on the board is envious. :cool:

Will be interesting to see if someone in 'The States' actually takes delivery of one of these.....and whether or not this is a test, a fluke (by WalMart) or the beginning of more things to come.

LOL....I think he meant Santa. :)

Nice rig there fella. A brisket and pork butt would be very happy on it! :cool:

If you're cost conscious and want to ease into this, then scour your local Craigslist for a cheap 22.5 used One Touch Silver grill.......$50 or less...see if that works for you. If you find it too "small" for most of your needs, then get the 26. I have both and find the 22.5 is plenty for most...

Jeff, Come on - you've been here for awhile now......and your pictures prove you're full-fledged "Dug In" to Weber products like the rest of us. Is ANY OF THIS really about need..???? :cool: Look in my tagline at my cooker list. I've used my large BGE twice in 2 years, my 26.75 once in 2...

Yeah it is. I've been holding myself back from jumping on it myself. And I already have an 18.5 I bought a couple of months ago that I haven't used at all.

This may be Lew's (?). Clean WSM, looks like brand new, and a great deal at $135. Also has a blue Mastertouch for $75.:cool: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/for/4795371192.html

My local Home Depot has a couple. Got them "clearance priced" (yellow tagged) at $264. Stock may be hit or miss depending on location.

Enrico, Try rotating the lid on the kettle to see if you can find a "sweet spot" where there's a tight fit. Both my 26.75 kettle and WSM have the same issue, depending on where the lid is seated. A quick spin and within seconds the fit is hand-in-glove.

Wow - talk about no pride of ownership! Looks like she was rode REALLY hard and put away DIRTY. I'd start at half price and work up from there, just because of the condition. Good grief!

Wow - looks really good. Great first cook! :cool:

If he's willing to pay full retail ($399), then you might as well have him purchase from Amazon through a TVWBB link (see below). That way a couple of good things happen: 1. This site gets a piece of the pie, helping it to stay up and going. 2. He can get free shipping directly to his home...

Shaun you probably are already aware of this, but if you don't get a set at a good deal here e-Replacements sells the 18.5 WSM legs for $6.41 each, or just under 20 bucks for a set of 3. Economy Rate shipping to my GA zip code was $4.95, so for me I would be looking at $24.18 total. Just...

Ya really. That was a great price.

First thing you should do is clean it down to the bare finish - to see JUST how far deep the metal is corroded - if at all. A quick peek underneath the bowl would be the quick way to see how much damage has been done. If it's rusty to the point where the blades won't seal the opening your only...

Personally I don't see it as that great of a deal. Ten bucks less than new. Blues aren't THAT hard to find......I see them for sale on eBay quite often.

Greg - that's a no-brainer right there. Get that...........yep, even though you got the other one! ;)
