I will just leave this here

Got a couple hours in this morning. I’ve got tank scale wind chimes

Nice. I wish I had that much space to paint stuff.

Me too!!

Me too!!

My wife can never see this website!!! I may have access to a paint booth soon, so she'll never need to see the "sausage being made." I plan on a lid cleanup, and painting the end pieces. I will probably not touch the cook box yet.

I am quite fortunate to have access to the facility I do. Obviously the booth isn’t running for this kind of stuff. The lighting is also quite helpful.

 

[Bruce]

Hmmmm, not bad, but for the condition, it is over priced for my tastes. Missing the shelves as well.

If I had access to a paint booth I'd remove the cookbox and paint the cookbox and end caps at the same time. I'd also scuff and spray the frame while its apart and touch up any rust on the manifold mounts. Its a little more work though you'll end up with a Silver C that looks new.

You may be without a grill for a week or so while you are prepping it for paint and painting it so you may want to pickup a curb find to have to cook on while your Silver C is getting freshened up. And then you can fix up the curb find and flip it or keep it as a spare.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how Weberitis spreads

These grills are an abomination to the Snap On name. Very cheaply constructed. Ask me how I know.

I love this community of enablers!

But I do agree with going all out on a full on restore for a keeper grill! And the rest of what you said

I was in Home Depot this morning and had a chance to look at the new Spirit grills. I think they are pretty darn nice for the money. They seem better overall quality than the past 7-8 years.

It's definitely interesting to check out all the new models out now and its been interesting to compare throughout the generations from one generation to the next from 1985-now

 

[Bruce]

Yah, it is.

 

[Steve Hoch]

@Steve Hoch any chance you'll start making the older style wide white walls? Like this

I don't have any of those wheels at the moment so I haven't tried.

If you're interested in making them and you need me to send you one I can do that.

 

[Steve Hoch]

Steve how can you pass on a salt/pepper BBQ seared Ribeye steak?

No ribeye, no strip steaks. I just don't like them for some reason.

Fair enough

I’ve been liking the prime sirloin from Costco lately. Usually $11ish/lb so not cheap by any means, but good quality

 

[Bruce]

I think a good sirloin is the best tasting cut of all. It just isn't as juicy and tender as the others.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

For me there's absolutely no substitute for a Ribeye steak

 

[Bruce]

I agree Josh. Overall, the Ribeye gets my nod.
