    Baiting Mice

    I’ve been using cat kibble in my electronic rat trap for years A few tips: Electronic doesn’t create a mess (unless you don’t clear the trap soon after kill) Mice are much less intelligent than rats Use a camera to monitor trap so you know when it’s been triggered and can clear before it gets...

    Picked Up Free Curbside 1st Gen Summit 650

    I believe the aluminum side panels become degraded from grease that eventually becomes acidic. The heat down there should be much less than at burner level…

    S-650 cookbox rust

    I think if you trimmed the flanges off the heat shield to make it flat, it should cover enough of the panel to protect it. The corrosion always starts at the edges of the openings and spreads from there. Good on Weber for giving you a new panel - never underestimate the leverage you have...

    Kitchen knife replacement thoughts

    Yeah - it’s probably more like 80% performance with less than 10% effort… with electric sharpener, you’d be done and sitting back in your recliner in less time than just setup and cleanup with whetstones Now try some cheap fine edge (aka non-serrated) steak knives and see what you’ve been...

    Kitchen knife replacement thoughts

    Been dropping in on this thread for a while and finally thought I would chime in… I’ve had a full set of Henckels 4 Star that I purchased in Germany 30y ago. I tried manually sharpening with the lansky system and rods until I got a chef's choice 130. The problem with them is that the bolster...

    Side Burner - No Gas Flow

    I just looked at my Summit 450 side burner - there is no safety interlock for gas since there is plenty of ventilation out the back Also, you would be better off just bypassing the disconnect with a 1/4” Male x Male hose if that turns out to be the problem Pipe fitters I used to work with said...

    Side Burner - No Gas Flow

    My Vieluxe with enclosed side burners has a mechanical gas shutoff that opens the supply valve when drawer is slid over to operate. My Summit 450 side burner has a cover with the entire rear exposed for ventilation and no gas safety interlock.

    So I use the firebox from Silver B? What about manifold? Guy has boxes of parts and I’m not sure what’s there but didn’t see a firebox or lid… Silver B and similar is anything with plastic shelving right? Found this freebie

    2000 Redhead Rehab

    Can I just get some aluminum flat bar and attach as rails for drain pan? Does the front panel serve any purpose other aesthetics and hiding the manifold? Looking to get it operational and address rust issues. I was thinking pull the frame/manifold, brush and hit with rustoleum. Do what I can...
