That would work. I'm not worried about it. Maybe in 30 years I'll take it apart and shine em up again

Are you going to bring all that stuff on the plane? I think I would mail it to myself and cut down on the hassle.

Free checked bag with my frequent flyer benefits. It will easily all fit in a suitcase. I'm cheep so I don't want to pay for shipping Plus I'm bringing tools there and back. I can handle a couple suitcases no problem.

I guess as long as they don't hassle you about the contents of that suitcase you're good then!

New Weber temp gage just showed up in the mail. Almost forgot about it. Not sure I need it but I want to be prepared.

@Steve Hoch you're probably wondering why I didn't just have all the things shipped to that house in the first place. I have trust issues. I want to make sure I have everything I need.

No problem. I take guns sometimes and I figure if I have no problems with that I'm probably good.

I usually only replace the thermometers now for these reasons even though they aren't very expensive. 1) condensation inside of it. 2)just doesn't work anymore.3) face is faded. Otherwise they clean up like brand new with some fine steel wool and simple green.

The wood is in excellent condition. Would be a shame to waste it. I'll sand them down and restain them. When I reinstall the slats in the Z metal I'll replace the screws with new stainless steel screws.

Good call! Thank you

I usually don't replace them. As you mentioned they usually clean up like new. Now that I'm looking at pics of the Jr. It looks off but either way I want some spare parts there like these extra burners and igniter. This Jr. May potentially be one of my mainly used grills for the rest of my life. I haven't decided which 1000 I will pair with it yet for the long haul.

I thought you were going to do them and take them with. That’s why I asked.

Oh yeah I remember I did consider doing that. I decided to just do it there.
