My C&B Slate Blue is here, finally

R.I.P. 3/31/2022
Picked it up yesterday and put the frame together, then finished her up this morning.
It went pretty smooth except I have one table top bolt that doesn't want to line up, so I'll wait for my son to help muscle the side apart just a bit, then tighten down all the top bolts.
Couldn't find any propane cylinders at WM, so I went to Lowes and had to get the blue skinny 14.1 oz Bernzomatic type at almost $4 each. My old Performer had run dry so I needed one for it too before cleaning it up to sell.
I'm loving the new one and it's features. The fit and finish is top notch with no flaws seen.
Not sure what I'll cook first, but hope to post when I do.

Very good score as Here in Costa Rica my new WPD came assembled minus the two Moosehead Brews at a cost of $550 in January, 2020.

Looks great!!! When’s the first cook?
Thanks again for steering me in this direction, not only do I LOVE the color, I’m kinda mad I didn’t get a performer 12 years ago. Certainly won’t be without one again

Congrats, Bob. I'm not sure why, but lately your pictures aren't showing up for me.

My performer was the same, no matter what order I put those bolts in, the last of the four wouldn’t line up. The only thing a I did not try was to swap the front side tube for the back one. I thought of it after I finally muscled the last bolt in, but it wasn’t pretty. No complaints once I had it together,

Still?
I haven't changed the way I post pics, something has changed, but went another route to try again.

I've been having issues copying/pasting pics the last week or two. I used to be able to do that, but lately, I can't do it - have to save the pic from another site to my photo library, then copy/paste from there. I suspect it's a site setting.
