It has been a long time in coming, but I recently received my custom handle from Brian O'Neill for my CharQ as the finishing touch of this custom project. He also earlier made the top vent tab for me. Brian has had some challenges and then wanted to do something totally new and really unique for...

I had my local printer do a small run if reprints of the Vieluxe brochure. They aren’t as razor sharp as the original looked, but they look very nice to me. Sure, you can just browse the digital version, but it looks so much better with the spreads restored. Plus, there is still something nice...

I am hoping some of you more experienced with finding obscure parts can help me with this one for my VIeluxe project: These are plastic inserts that go into the control panel to provide you with something to then screw down the bezels. Being over 20 years old and the grill being exposed in the...

I have been active in Weber collecting and restorations for at least 7 or 8 years. Over that time, I have posted a number of wistful, but congratulatory, comments when the lucky few posters here have found and acquired a Vieluxe grill. The ultimate Weber orphan, unicorn or - if you want - holy...

I promised some follow-up on my recently acquired new Pit Boss Phoenix pellet kettle. I bought it to replace my beautiful Spider Huntsman whose charcoal flavor didn’t sit well with my wife. I have been holding on to a diamond pattern cast iron 22” grate for this kind of application. My first...

I am no longer able to directly insert photos or do some other things using my iPhone. The menu bar is all grayed out. Today I tried to copy and paste a link, but what was entered on my private message was just dead text. Is there a security setting on my phone that I need to change?

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...

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...

YES! With the generous help of @Bruce, I recently got this very restorable - and so very cool😎 - yellow Weber kettle. It was a long-time wish list item. I did a basic wash yesterday so that I could give it at try this afternoon before doing a more thorough restoration. I only got to about 500...

Saw this ad that tells it all: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1240243880778864/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A0886d393-8ffb-4314-bd14-2f5e923ea4bc

Last month I picked up this Genesis II in the “Indigo” color exclusive to Ace Hardware. While it was filthy, it looked like the wheel fell off and it was parked derelict after only limited use and left just to sit as a winter home for field mice: A few parts and some elbow grease later...

We have seen some very interesting new things coming online lately. Ninja Flex Fire and Weber's new and definitely improved Spirit line are good examples. I have never been a Charbroil fan, but this one at least LOOKS classy...

Like many of you, I get bombarded with YouTube ads for everything from fertilizer to bogus ED treatments. Once in a while, one comes along, though, that looks more interesting. I bought my wife a set of high-end fabric scissors, and they lived up to their claims. Anyway, this one caught my eye...

I saw this on FB today. Looks like a more conventional grill than the Spirit II and with some nice features for $499: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1TmJ8Amn2C/?mibextid=wwXIfr Anyone else know more about this release?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
