    My new Skyline - A blackout edition

    Probably my favorite restoration was the “Frankengrill” Skyline I did back when I lived in Florida. It was as close as I am likely to get to a @MarkCuda ”no expense spared” personal grill. When we decided to move to Indiana to care for a relative - and then had the seller of the house we had...

    Q 300 for a friend

    I just finished one of my last two grills of the season, a Q300. I am gifting this to a family from my church who could really use it. The guy asked for my help in getting some parts for his rusted out Charbroil. I think this will do a lot better :smilekettle: : This was the first time I...

    Deployed with Operation Barbecue Relief

    I was granted time off from my online jobs to go to Western North Carolina to volunteer in post hurricane/flood relief there. I arrived Wednesday night and started early the next morning with Operation Barbecue Relief: If you haven’t heard of it, OBR is a great organization that feeds...

    Took one for the team...

    Well my “Pimp Your Grill” magic potion arrived yesterday. I took time to put it to the test on my extremely faded Weber Flat Top sliding panels. I followed the directions cleaning the part first with Simple Green and then applying a thick coat that you leave on for 30 minutes before wiping off...

    Be Safe!

    I have mentioned this before, but I once read an article in Hemmings Classic Car magazine where one of the former editors discovered he had lung cancer. His doctor said to him, “So how many years did you smoke?” He told the doc that he had never smoked in his life. But then he said that he...

    You can call me Josh Dekubber!

    Well, not really, because the real @Josh Dekubber gets freebies and outrageous deals seemingly every week! But this was a good score for me: Seller had an intact Q3200 for sale for 13 weeks, finally marking it down to $50. His first problem was that it was a NG model. Nothing wrong with natural...

    The Wedding Grill

    One of my favorite Sunday School kids from years ago is now all grown up and just got married last month. His father owns my dream Skyline grill I sold to him when we left Florida, and he even helped me with some grill projects as a teenager. So he has learned to love classic Weber grills...

    Stainless side tables for Weber Qs

    I just received a set of stainless side tables from a company in Australia called Kaon. What superb workmanship! I got this set for my CharQ project that I never can seem to finish. Still overcoming some challenges on getting the right handle. These stainless tables sit firm and won't bend like...

    Captain America Q200

    Bruce helped me a while back to get one of those Spark grills. It looks like what would happen if you assembled a team from Apple and Google to design a grill. I am giving it to my older son, the IT support technician. It will fit him perfectly. But, what to do for my younger son? He is on the...

    Good News for Weber: Tractor Supply will be selling Weber grills online AND IN STORES!

    I get the CookOut News emails. The latest one said that Tractor Supply is trying to expand their presence in grills and will soon be selling Webers online AND IN THEIR STORES.

    Not yet...

    We had to have our van worked on at the dealership in Terre Haute. After my wife took it home, I got to do a few fun things: stop at Academy Sports, Sam's Club and Chick Fil-A. Lots of Pit Boss grills at Academy, but sadly the Titan was in hiding. They had an offset smoker priced at $1,899 that...
