Since my Spirit 500 restore was halted, I need another project to work on. I was lucky enough to score 2 SJP's a few years back during the Ace Hardware Christmas closeout for $20 each. I hadn't really done much with them, except last year I got a ProQ WSM stacker and using some leftover Brinkmann parts kind of made a mini WSM out of it. It has been in the garage for awhile, and I've decided it's time to bring it back to life. I plan to clean everything and paint the stacker, rework the guts with SS bolts instead of the Brinkmann parts, and figure out a better way to remove the charcoal grate for easier ash cleanup, without detaching the stacker.
Some photos of where I am starting:
The Lid with a thermometer hole, 2 18.5 grates, 1 22.5 charcoal grate, and a Brinkmann 15 inch water bowl. All ready for cleaning...
The SJP base and the stacker. When I got the stacker, I turned it upside down to accommodate the SJP config, and remounted the handles in the correct orientation...
I am hoping that if we stop getting late afternoon rain, I can pressure wash and scrub everything tomorrow.
