My fat frame Genesis ready for the powdercoater.

I wish I understood applying porcelain
Could I have a clear coat professionally applied ?

No, clear coat is paint. It's not going to hold up very long. Porcelain is actually a glass coating which is a lot more durable.

 

[MarkCuda]

Thanks Steve, I knew someone would set me straight

 

[Bruce]

You probably can Mark. But unless it is porcelain based, I don't think it would be nearly as durable as the bare porcelain.

Yah, what Steve said.

 

[Eric-NH]

That's going to be one helluva nice grill!

 

[MarkCuda]

One more update.
Jeff said my items may ship Monday or Tuesday

 

[MarkCuda]

It's just about a shame it will not get used by me

 

[Bruce]

Like waiting for Christmas morning when you were 8 years old.

Garage piece? It’s looking great, Mark!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, Jay Leno of the grill world.

The wife allows me 1 garage queen a year

 

[Bruce]

Yah, but will it remain a garage queen it's whole life is the question? Will that pretty blue lid ever get a little chicken grease on it?

 

[MarkCuda]

"Will that pretty blue lid ever get a little chicken grease on it?"
Not by me, I promise

 

[Cody Bratton]

I could sip some bourbon and look at it while cooking some chicken on a Smokey Joe and be perfectly content.

UPDATE UPDATE
Jeff texted me this morning saying my lid should ship Friday the 6th

 

[Bruce]

Long delayed but worth the wait.

 

[MarkCuda]

Long delayed but worth the wait.

Yes, I'm sure it's going to be worth the wait, Jeff wouldn't send out parts that didn't pass his inspection.

 

[MarkCuda]

Guess what, my lid didn't ship as promised

 

[Bruce]

There is always next week, and the week after that....but really, I think you have been pretty patient. I know he has a good reputation on this forum, but I think that job was promised to be returned about a month or so ago.

 

[MarkCuda]

UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES

My lid has shipped, I repeat, my lid has shipped
Was told about a 4 week turnaround

 

[Bruce]

Ummmm, do you have a tracking number yet?
