I am posting this link to a thread I finally wrote about a trip @Bruce and I were able to make to Kansas City to take in as much BBQ and related as we could as well as to meet up with our friend @Dave in KC. I know some of us who hang out in this gas grill section might not otherwise notice this...

Last stop: Q39 Barbecue We put Q39 on the schedule as our last stop for lunch before we headed home. We had been told that it was "upscale" and Bruce was even concerned we might even be too casually attired. Actually, Jack Stack was fancier. Q39 was more relaxed but with a definite millennial...

We got up on Wednesday morning, our final half-day, and headed to the Smoke N Fire BBQ Store. Although there was some similarity to the Kansas City BBQ Store, the big difference here was that Smoke N Fire featured a large selection of Weber grills that the store clerk said were their...

Wabash BBQ When we consulted with Dave about suggestions for restaurants to visit, he told us we should be sure to visit at least one real "BBQ joint!" As mentioned earlier, Dave appreciates the Chef-driven offerings at some of the more famous places, but says the real Kansas City BBQ comes...

After we left IPE, we drove by President Harry Truman's home in Independence: We then stopped at the Truman Presidential Library. We had some time, so Dave and Bruce were kind enough to indulge me (who went to college to be a history professor!) a quick visit. I always wanted to see one of the...

Independence Porcelain Enamel https://www.facebook.com/IndependencePorcelain/ Some of you may already be familiar with Jeff at Independence Porcelain (IPE). Although his main line of business has more to do with Coleman lanterns and classic stoves, his amazing sideline of restoring Weber...

We arrived at Joe's - the ORIGINAL location where Joe's started out of a gas station - before noon, but there was still a good crowd. This location is still a Shamrock gas station even today. I don't know what happened to the guy at Feldman's, but Bruce and I both agreed this place had...

After a short break, that night we went downtown to Jack Stack Barbecue. This is a very well-known place that I had heard all about from a co-worker in Florida who had moved there from the KC area. She and her husband LOVED Jack Stack, and they were the ones who introduced me to burnt ends...

A few weeks ago, @Bruce and I had the opportunity to do a whirlwind tour of KC BBQ restaurants and stores. Bruce was visiting his sister in St. Louis, so I was able to meet him there on the way from central Indiana so we could drive together. We also had the opportunity to meet up with @Dave in...

If you can find a CharQ and a nice 2200 stand, you can switch back and forth since the CharQ is the same size. I have the CharQ and stand, but looking for the right Q2200 - at a bargain😎!

I think Recteq is a very good company, but not all their products have been winners. I think this one may be a reach too far. I would tell anyone to get one of their excellent regular smoker pellet grills and then get a good used Weber gas grill - or even a Ninja Woodfire for grilling...

Yep, just a Gold hood on an earlier regular Genesis :smilekettle:

That one has potential for just $50. I am pretty convinced that this model is the WORST for that left side crossmember rusting out. The right fix for one of these, in my opinion, is to replace it with a piece of stainless tubing.

Nice restore of a great grill! You might find yourself wanting to keep it😎.

Very cool grill and yes clean - not $500 clean, though!

The perfect companion for that 2-burner with the same color hood that was posted earlier.

Cody, Bruce always uses a matte finish on the cookbox exterior and semi-gloss on the end caps - as on this one - which I have always thought was closest to original. I myself just prefer to use semi-gloss on both even though I don’t think it is as original. What are you thinking it should be?

It is three hours north of me, so not realistic or else my temptation resistance level might be exceeded.😎
