I cleaned up a 1980 22.5 not that long ago. SOS pads work well for cleaning the outside, legs, and ash pan. Leg's and ash pan then get hit with Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish. I use a single side razor blade held in the jaws of a small vice-grip to scrape clean the insides of the top and...

I am pretty much done adding grills to the collection Brad. Two of those never made CL, and the other was up in Ripon.

My BBQ shed is a 12'x12' structure built on 3 4"x4" skids which sit on concrete blocks. It's a small storage building that can be winched onto a trailer and moved if necessary. Pole Barn: The barn is then skinned in corrugated sheet metal.

Scored this off of CL the Friday before Fathers Day, It's a "B" 1980 kettle, and practically pristine. I had been working on the homeowner who had this one under a pickup camper. She wasn't interested in selling it. My oldest son convinces the SoDT to drive him over there, negotiates the...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have patiently waited for this. You have no idea how bad I want a pole shed. I would never go in the house.

Not quite ALL the bases. I need to procure a 6 or 8 foot stainless prep table. I'll then cut in a kitchen sink and run plumbing from the basement out to it so I have hot and cold running water and a prep area. I've heard them called "outdoor kitchens".

No need for seasoning or the like, but if I ever buy a new WSM, it would get washed inside and out with dish soap, just in case there was any manufacturing residue left behind.

Thanks for the kind words Chris. Yes, those tools have special significance. My Papa Mert (my mom's dad) was a carpenter for all of his life (exceptionally skilled). When he passed away, he had multiple sheds, BIG sheds full of tools and things he had saved. Those are some of his. I have others...

Hey everyone, Wasn't sure where to post this for sure and this looked like the best place. I recently scored a commercial meat slicer from our area high school. All cast aluminum and pretty heavy duty. Here are some pics: I also scored a custom hand hammered wok (that's what the sellers...

Looks like an abused and neglected little orphan. Glad you gave it a good home. They clean up surprisingly well.

Very innovative!

You'd have to want to hang meat pretty bad to do that to a WSM. I would never drill holes like that in the dome of my WSMs. But that's just me. To each his own.

Hey Denny, Was that the WSM that was in West Bend? Nice score. Good call not painting it. You should be able to clean almost everything off a WSM.

I use a fireplace shovel to add unlit coals to my 18s. Used to do the hot squat, but if I was using water in the pan, even that became an adventure.

Nothing wrong with popping them in the oven to finish. It's been done more than once. I think I would set the oven at 350 or 375. Once they're tender you will hopefully have some time to let them rest.

If you can find the Vasconia pot, they fit perfectly and require no modding of the lip for the lid to fit. I got mine on Amazon a while back, not sure if you can get them anymore.

Only helps the older ones.

Yes he does. PM me for more info.

Yep. I bought 1000 lbs of Rancher at one time (Home Depot had 20 lb bags for $1.99) and this was the only thing I did not like about it. Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten about that trait.

Thanks Jim. Distance can be a WSMs best friend. There's a bit of chipping on this girl. This one will likely never see fire, unless I'm in a serious capacity pinch. She's a looker.
