    Ninja 5-in-1 for the win

    I think the "natural convection" is just openings in the front of the grill that draws in air and sweeps it across to the back. This is way short of what the Ninja Flex Flam offers with a real convection fan - plus the ability to draw in smoke from the small pellet holder. Still, this shows that...

    Genesis Jr Restoration

    I just tried to leave a comment like Bruce's, and it would not allow me access. Maybe taken down? Totally despicable...

    Ninja 5-in-1 for the win

    Cuisinart has an entry in the gas grill arena. Only $499 so it relies on "natural" convection and doesn't have as much electronics. But, it is clearly after the same "do it all" market: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-Stainless-Versatile-Convertible-Integrated/dp/B0DFJ1M7KH?tag=tvwb-20 The...

    Huge NOS parts closeout, Original Summit parts, newer summit frames, Gen A/B/C, gen 2, burners, manifolds etc

    Can you clarify about the Summit parts. When you say "A/B" which version are you referring to? Do you mean the 1st generation like this type that came in 4 and 6 burner models?

    The Woodard cart is perhaps even more of a great item than the Jr. It needs a replacement cutting board and ash pan, but it looks to be in very nice shape. Glad these are way out of range for me, or I would be sorely tempted to get more stuff I have no room for!

    and September which was actually the WORST month to me! STILL hot and sticky and prime hurricane season... May isn't always that great, either! My favorite time to bbq was in November which was also the time Floridians would go to Florida tourist attractions.

    Fruit - and Cheerwine - goes great with BBQ!

    I will just leave this here

    It's funny, because anymore I seldom miss Florida where I lived for most of my life. I could still pass on Midwest January and February, and I get much better why we had so many "snowbirds" crowd our highways those months! Still, after almost five years, I have acclimated fairly well, and love...

    Genesis 1000 Porcelain Drip Tray

    Tom, You are blessed to have customers who appreciate your top drawer work and who have the willingness to pay for it. I wish I did. I have to accept that here in the rural Midwest having Jeff recoat a drip tray - or even spending to buy one of these “as is” - is pretty much a non-starter. I...

    Genesis 1000 Porcelain Drip Tray

    I am hoping you will be pleasantly surprised :smilekettle: . At least someone is trying to fill this niche. Let's hope the quality is at least decent.

    If it ain't broke, I can brake it

    Kind of reminds me of my crazy "The Judge" project where I stuffed a Broilmaster burner into a small old Sunbeam grill. The original orifice wouldn't provide enough gas to fire up the much larger than stock burner, so with the help of my Maintenance Director where I used to work in Florida, I...

    A welding alternative for us non-welders - or a scam gimmick?

    I am for sure NOT a welder, but maybe Bruce can teach me enough to at least be able to replace a frame cross-member:unsure:. I figured that thing looked too good to be true, and so it is. Too bad, because it looked like something even a worn-out CPA like me could do.

    Genesis 1000 Porcelain Drip Tray

    Thanks, Mark! We will be VERY interested in an honest assessment and maybe a comparison to one of your OEM Weber ones. :smilekettle:

    A welding alternative for us non-welders - or a scam gimmick?

    That would be great! Maybe this summer we could aim for a couple days of training. When I get out of tax preparation prison, I will look more seriously at it and discuss best options for what I would need to get started. Learning welding would seal my reputation with my wife who already asks...

    A welding alternative for us non-welders - or a scam gimmick?

    Yes for sure! I also shun both of those, and Temu in particular for what I consider to be offensive ads that they post in the ad column on the side of my FB articles.

    A welding alternative for us non-welders - or a scam gimmick?

    I figured too good to be true. I have no aspirations to get seriously into welding, but it sure would be nice to be able to just weld in a new cross member now and then. What do you guys think it would really take to just be able to do that much?

    A welding alternative for us non-welders - or a scam gimmick?

    Like many of you, I get bombarded with YouTube ads for everything from fertilizer to bogus ED treatments. Once in a while, one comes along, though, that looks more interesting. I bought my wife a set of high-end fabric scissors, and they lived up to their claims. Anyway, this one caught my eye...

    Genesis 1000 Porcelain Drip Tray

    I could perhaps see it for a dream keeper grill like Mark’s. Too much $ for me I think, at least as long as my stash of originals that I feel can be touched up and re-used holds out. Still, I am glad there is at least one new option out there now!
