GREEN LID-RED LID? OTHER LIDS SOON

[Josh Dekubber]

Just messing around with lids and I'll post some more combinations soon with gray lid and Skyline lid. I lost track of how many times @Cody Bratton asked for the Redhead Sappy Walnut so here is some shots.

Everyone add your pics and different color combinations or whatever pics for fun.



I have decided that I'm going to use this wood on a different grill. I love this wood and was the vision I had that became reality. But...
I'm going back to original with my 1000LX with its original gray Durawood. This pic


Here are some more pics including my Genesis 2000 Redhead with my Green lid on it.


Everyone show your grills
Pics please

They look great but I stick with my original opinion. That green is the sharpest with that "fancy" wood. Understated and classy!

I'm still a fan of the maroon lids myself....

I like both and the red I like better than I thought I would with the Sappy Walnut but I do like the green a little more. I think I would be happy with all three combinations.

One link is for the slats and one link is for the handle. Wood is just barely oversized which I like because I can trim it and make it exactly perfect. If it was cut exactly to size it would most likely have variation that you don't want.

This is the scrap cut offs. Not a lot of waste.


And not even really waste because my wife's going to use these cut off pieces for crafts and in butcher block cutting boards

@Josh Dekubber i have to say. The red lid with that wood POPS! Red gets my vote!

I have to say in the photos to me it's pretty close but in person that beautiful green shows much better than it does in pictures. Just my opinion though.

Ya know Josh, Maybe like Dave Santana maybe you've found your craft calling. Maybe make the slats to order from that Sappy Walnut and sell them here. I'll bet you get LOTS of takers

I may be in the market for a full set of slats for a Genesis 2 in the distant future! Got a couple other projects that are going to take precedence though

If a guy was going to redo a Genesis 1000 for a keeper, it would be hard to pass on a chance at some great slats like the ones Josh does.

I thought about that and I don't think it would be worth the money to people. The raw wood cost $150. I'm extremely particular so I took my sweet time cutting every piece to exactly the same dimension and then spent days sanding every piece by hand. Getting to know each slat personally. Plus cost of everything to finish the wood another $50 so about $200 plus my time for several days or let's say at least three full days. I don't think anyone would pay my breakeven price let alone turn a small profit.

For a keeper, I could see spending the money necessary. But again, I’d be so scared to mar it up that I’d be switching out the tables for cooking and looking

Trust me, they wouldn't. You would get the pleasure of everyone asking you "how much?"and then not hearing back from most of them though.

@Mark-Anaheim uses these rubber mats when grilling and recommended them to me. He said they fit perfectly on the tables. I think I will probably buy a set or two.
