I will just leave this here

Okay so not a Weber or ever a grill but still technically a gasser. I'd like to get something like this for retirement. Looks like original boxwood green one of my favorite vintage colors also. If that really is original that's pretty impressive.
Tempting.

I got my smoke tubes today. Pretty solid purchase for $13. Non magnetic and fairly stout thickness! Can’t wait to try it out!

Let me know how they work for you. I've been meaning to pick them up for a long time now but haven't got around to it.

Wonder how much quicker that kills a tank?

you were joking weren't you?

Kinda… my thoughts would be only so much fuel can get out, but does it blow thru that much more fuel? I don’t know the depths of the science to it.

Lets say it's a NG grill. If you know the size of the orifices on it, you could calculate it all out. But, makes my head spin a little

The ones with the removable roof are extremely cool, same with the old Blazers.

I don’t need to go that far in depth.

Absolutely!
They sure are going way up in value but the new stuff is getting so ridiculously expensive. I just saw a new Ford f150 Raptor R truck for 160K.

For 160 grand I need to be able to live in it, that's just insane.

Yah, I was at a GM/Chevy dealer last summer for some service work and was waiting and went out on the lot to look at the trucks. I looked at probably 20 trucks and they ranged anywhere from $45 to $96k. I was shocked. Sure, they were nice trucks, but not that nice. I assumed maybe they had the "work trucks" parked somewhere else and I couldn't believe I didn't see one under $45k. Too many gadgets and electronics. I feel sorry for the guy that needs a truck for what a truck is made for.

I worked at at Chevy dealership from age 11 to age 15 in the 1990s and I remember fully loaded Chevy Silverado trucks window sticker price was $19,999. Seemed like a Alot back then. I'm sure some of you guys remember the prices even farther back. My father sold his 1969 Boss 429 Mustang for 7K in the mid 70s for a down payment on a house that cost 36K. 50 year ago if would have been hard to believe what things would cost today.

I work a ton of hours at that dealership for 5 years especially in the summers but also during the school year. 3:00-6:00 everyday after school and at least 8 hours every Saturday. I started at $4.25 an hour and worked my way up to $6.50 an hour. Not very much $ but I was happy to have a job.

I retired 6 months ago after a 37 year career processing Ford warranty claims, so watched the crazy spiraling costs through the years but mainly the last 15 or so. I owned a 77 Bronco, the last year they were small, and I think the cost was around 5k; a far cry from what they are commanding today. The one Josh show above must be a resto, as they were notorious rustbuckets. Crazy prices today will likely only get worse with the latest Chinese action too. Josh, let me know when you're heading back to the valley-it was 83 here today!

Congratulations on retirement! That's fantastic.
I'm headed back to AZ. on Sunday. My wife and I are going to be traveling around to the Grand Canyon and some other places mainly the following weekend for our Anniversary but I should have availability during the week. Mainly next week but possibly the week after that.

I'm definitely ready for some warm weather!
