Brett, it has been in my record since elementary school. Had a teacher tell me if I put as much effort into doing my work as I did trying to get out of it I would make a good mark. 😂

Since, as I get older I find I use charcoal less an less and my Q3200 more and more as there is often just two of us at mealtime. It is just easier on fuel and to maintain over the kettles and Gennies. Sad to say, convenience wins! Q3200 for me.

Welcome back John. As you get back in the swing of things be sure to post more.

Welcome Riki. Nice looking kettles. Share some of your refurb tips with us.

Looks like you have most everything covered when it comes to grilling with that lineup DanHoo. 👍

Jeffrey, another option is to use a Dremel with a wire wheel in it, if you have one, to clean up the valves. It will take longer but you don’t have to worry about chewing them up by getting too aggressive. Steve’s method works well though but I am not as good as he is at controlling it. 😆

John, I didn’t have the setup you have but I did use a rattle can of Fluid Film to spray inside the frame of my 3000. I then pushed a bottle brush in the tubing a few times to try and push it farther than the can would spray. Figured it couldn’t hurt.

Gla Glad to see it all worked out John. Looks good and sturdy and ready for another few years. 👍

I have never tried CI pizza Tim, but you have me wanting to. Nice pies!

Nice scores Lewis. I would love to find an 18 but they are scarce around me and I am not fast enough to score one of the few posted. Some day!

And if you want it to look fancy, after you cut off the rod, install stainless steel acorn nuts instead of regular ones. And put never seize on them so you can get it apart in ten years for the next refurb.

And if the white plastic sleeve cracks and disintegrates from age like mine did, you can fabricate one from a piece of wooden dowel and a washer if you have a little patience.

You made that red lid look great Steve. 👍

Yeah, I should have specified I don’t use it on bare aluminum. Just spray it on the inside of the firebox after scraping out all the thick gunk. And I don’t leave it very long. Just long enough to soften up the gunk before I pressure wash it. I rinse it off with the regular hose on low pressure...

I would think you could do it in an hour depending on the volume of your blaster. I made a windbreak and did mine in the backyard with my small one but it was hot under the blasting hood so I had to take lots of breaks. Not sure how long it took. I scrapped and cleaned it first with oven cleaner...

I’ll be trying that for s’mores for sure. Thanks Richard.

I finally bought two good headlamps this summer so will try that as the days shorten this fall. USB Rechargeable and really bright compared to the cheap crap I had. Makes it easier to be sure all three dogs have done their business before I let them back in before going to bed. 😆

Thanks Joe. Those ones are $71 Canuck bucks on Amazon.ca so will be looking for something cheaper. I liked the extra light yours gave off compared to the Weber light I have.

Joe, where did you find the magnetic light?

Gasper, it should be Weber 7580. If you have a Q3200 it should have come on it from the factory. The older Q300 grills did not come with the light. You might find a 6530 out there that clamps on the handle but I think they have been discontinued.
