I will just leave this here


 
This green one is tempting. Match to my green lid 1000LX

That Char-Q is tempting also
That seems like a fair price on this kettle. Love the green color. They clean up really well and I love cooking on them. My oldest one is a 1958 Demo kettle.
 
I thought it was cookbox too. I feel like in your market, a blue with black modded 300 could be a good seller. It’s different but still has the Weber name. On top of your abilities and attention to detail, that thing could be a real beauty!

Both my 330 project flip grills are kind of back a ways in my project line up but I'll keep an eye on that blue sidewinder. I don't think it's going anywhere with the broken cook box hinge.
 
When those SmokeFires first came out, I was really thinking about buying one. They seemed impossible to get at first, then I heard they had issues, well before I ever messed with gas grills. However I then learned the snake method during the covid era, and never thought I needed a pellet smoker.

Still a want, but unless I find one on a killer deal I don’t think I’ll ever have one.
 
Recteq Bullseye looks the most appealing to me in that category. I checked out Bob's and it looked very well built. It's Performance/Capabilities is also impressive.
The Bullseye Deluxe like Bob has is definitely the top high heat performance pellet grill. They are perfect at taking the place of a gas grill (or even a kettle) for quick, basic cooks. They can also do low and slow bbq, but that isn't their primary focus.

For a while last year, Recteq offered a special "Black Edition" of the Bullseye Deluxe that had a black porcelain body. While the stainless may sound better, it is not 304 stainless, and I think I personally would rather have porcelain. Besides, the Black Edition just looked COOL :cool: with the addition of the trademark Recteq "bull horn" handles.

I wish they would bring it back!

I haven't seen that one Jon! Very cool!
 
So I’m sitting here trying to itch my Weberitis… I got to thinking about lids and heat.

Which is better at retaining heat? A lined SS lid, or a porcelain lid? My thought thinks the porcelain would reflect the heat better, but then I think the “insulated space” between the SS and inner liner would retain heat better as it’s not absorbed into the lid.

I know, it’s splitting hairs. But curious as to everyone’s thoughts here.

I don't know about heat retention, but my thought is that the inner liner on the stainless steel lids is just a heat shield put there to keep the outer lid from turning that yellow brown color due to the heat.
 
On the Bullseye it is just a thin stainless (apparently 430) top and bottom. I would rather have the porcelain. They would probably not differ much on heat retention, but I think the porcelain would be more rust resistant than what Tom experienced with his stainless Bullseye Deluxe.

On a Genesis I am not sure why a lined stainless hood would do any better than a LINED porcelain hood.
