Hi everyone.
I've lurked here, over the years, and finally joined the other day. I'm a long-time Weber fan and, thought number changes as I add or subtract them, the average # of kettles I own is five. I also own two gassers, a Genesis Silver B and a Go-Anywhere. My workhorses are the Genny, a second generation Performer, (with a SnS) and an EO code kettle, all 3 of which have GrillGrates. I've been smoking for years with the kettles. First with the Smokenator, (I'm sure that a few members remember those), and now with a SnS. I'll tell you up front that I'm a cheap bastard, and proud of it! With the exception of the Performer and a Jumbo Joe, I've purchased all of my grills used...which brings me to my latest purchase, and on one of the reasons to stop lurking, and to finally join the site....
....I just bought my first WSM off of FB Marketplace. It's an 18" "N" code. I've been wanting one for years but, as I stated earlier, I'm cheap. I started looking in earnest, about a year ago. Long story short, after getting turned down for a bunch of my lowball offers, someone finally bit. They wanted $100.00 and settled for $75.00. It's in great shape....garage kept. It's missing the middle grate and was full of the mold that builds up from being covered and lack of use. It cleaned up beautifully and I'm going to break it in with some ribs.
I'm looking forward to being a member here!
