    My Genesis 1000 project

    That would be my concern as well.

    Another 56" Vieluxe Restore

    Looks super great, Mike! My Vieluxe has a lot more issues, and I think I am operating on a thinner rehab budget. The new stuff from Dave Santana looks amazing as his work always does. My thermometer is fighting my efforts to get it off. I wish I could get my bezel machined like you did. The...

    Pit Boss Phoenix Kettle: Why isn't Weber making one?

    So, I got to thinking about my Phoenix and wishing it would get hotter, faster. I pondered the heat trap effect of the very nice but also very thick stainless rotating diffuser I coopted from my defunct Landmann kettle. (See my previous post about this above.) Although it has small openings when...

    Pit Boss Phoenix Kettle: Why isn't Weber making one?

    I need to follow that method. I tried my somewhat audacious idea today and got way faster and hotter heat response.😎 I need to look things over post cook and then I will put uo pictures of my Phoenix/SmokeFire hybrid!

    Center burner tube hole alignment

    Welcome to TVWBB Steve! Holes should not be pointing down. If that crossover is the right one and intact the center burner when pointed up should fit in the notch in the crossover.

    Pit Boss Phoenix Kettle: Why isn't Weber making one?

    I mentioned that I had some smoke come back through the hopper, but not anything more than that. I can't really pin down why. I am trying to be extra careful with keeping this grill clean. I am also toying with another idea to "open up" this grill a little like the SmokeFire. We will see if my...

    Please help me identify this Weber

    You will do great. Just takes some time and patience more than anything. A place to paint and store parts as you get them done helps, too! I had to use my home office to place my parts as the paint cured! (My office is in a glassed in porch, thus the stone exterior wall of our house. It is...

    Pit Boss Phoenix Kettle: Why isn't Weber making one?

    I think the Pit Boss Phoenix performs like a typical pellet grill. Topping out at 500 is pretty much what you can expect. The ability to get way above that is what makes the Bullseye unusual. Even the Searwood seems to struggle to get up to 600 if you agree with Tom Horsman's reviews on it. I...

    Genesis XXI (Jr) Restoration

    I am actually enjoying 4-season weather after spending most of my life in Florida. I admit I still cringe at January and February, and now I understand better why we had so many "snowbirds" in Florida during those months! But I love spring and fall and don't even mind temps in the 20s and 30s...

    I will just leave this here

    That one is a true survivor. Ones of that vintage are getting pretty hard to find still intact.

    Weber #99243 tank scale about to become NLA

    I don't think that includes Lowes or Home Depot and places like Fleet and Farm, but it still should help Ace get more Weber/Blackstone business. My Ace here in little Brazil, IN just moved across the street to a much larger location and now has a pretty impressive display of Webers as well as...

    My Genesis 1000 project

    Welcome to TVWBB Steve! "Matte" and "flat" are pretty much interchangeable terms as far as I know. So, did you do the end caps in a semi-gloss black?

    Pit Boss Phoenix Kettle: Why isn't Weber making one?

    Updated Reflections on the Pit Boss Phoenix pellet kettle I have been cooking here and there with my Pit Boxx Phoenix. Tonight I tried some of the slider burgers from Sams that I like so much: Sorry, I failed to get a picture while still on the grill. These were done like the pork chops I...

    Yes, Brian that is absolutely true. I remember taking your advice and ordering it. That must have been 6 or 7 years ago :whistle: !

    Thank you, Josh! Looks like a good product. Why do you think it would be better than my favorite...

    Josh, I am not familiar with this product. Can you tell a little more and where you get it?
