Hello everyone,

I wanted to post some photos of my Jumbo Joe Premium GBS grill.

With a little luck.... I think I now have the worlds first GBS Jumbo Joe made with Weber Parts.

This Grilling Monster is 100% Weber and is the brain child of a mad griller.... ME !

Please let me know what everyone thinks about it.

For starters you have to add a Premium air vent handle and replace all the hardware with SS parts.

Then you need a 18" Weber GBS grate.

With a GBS Sear Grate your ready to start cooking on the JJ.

Also used a New Weber Rapid Fire charcoal grate.
The idea behind this is that you put the lighter cubes in the V and light them
and then put charcoal on top of it... I use the Weber Chimney.

Again... Please let me know what you think about it.

Hello Pat,

It is an original Weber item.... but here in The Netherlands... Weber would not sell it to me.
I also tried to order it from Weber UK but for some reason they said they could not ship it
outside of the UK.

That left me only one choice... Buy a New 2017 grill and take the grates out of it.

I picked up a standard set of grates and dropped them in and sold the grill to
someone that did not care about the missing GBS grates. Total costs... $15.00
 
Wow, look at this badass 18. Hopefully someday they will have the same offerings over here.

 
Very nice, well done. I still would likd to know why weber treats the usa as the bottom of the pit. Surely leavesca siur taste in my mouth as the saying goes.
 
I love it.


I'm going to run a Jumbo Joe later this afternoon. I'd really like to have that same GBS grate system for it. That is really cool.
