Between Detroit and Toronto. I've had an 18.5 WSM for 15 years. I do a dozen or so cooks on it per year and everything on it is still original. I put a power draft control on it ten years ago and bought a "coat" for windy / cold cooks and I can't think of any rig I'd rather have for smoking. I have a Smokey Joe for road trips and my mod on that is an upside down pie pan with holes cut in it to diffuse the incoming air better. I recently got a really well rebuilt maroon original kettle to replace my chargriller. I was amazed at how well that cleaned up.

I joined the group to get some ideas and tips for rebuilding old Weber gassers, given how good the rebuilt kettle looks. I have a Vermont Castings (well built, thick cast iron grills, stupid warming drawer) so I'm not at all familiar with Genesis grills. There are a few of them out there for $50 - $100 so what could possibly go wrong?

Living outside the city with an apple tree and cherry tree in the yard and an abattoir just down the road.
 
Welcome to the forum Wally. You will get all the help you need to rehab one of these great grills. This is a great place to learn and to share.
 
Welcome to the forum, Wally! Sounds like you've got a convenient location for affordable BBQ feasts! :D
