Thanks so much, Josh! I did make the same hole in my unfinished CharQ. I didn’t have the nerve to cut off the back of the bezel like you did, though I did see that issue and admire how well you resolved it. Not sure if I will risk it or just be content with it “as is.”
That looks great to me Jon! Also what a great idea of painting the bezel to match the lid. I didn't think of that but I might use that on my next one if I repaint red or black!
Got a feeling you may not want to let that one go. You may find yourself enjoying it too much. There is even a nice rotisserie kit made for it
Well now that I have the baby 1000 all finished and started working on a 2000 I've decided that I'm going to finish all three sizes and present them to my sister-in-law to decide which one she wants. With fourth option of waiting for me to find her a nice full size 2 burner. Something like my Genesis LX 240.
I'm not sure of the question? I'll try to answer in the context of the statement. Lately (hopefully it continues) we've had a stretch of some gorgeous weather for this time of year. Big Z has the WIFI/Bluetooth control. And more times than not I find myself relying on that ability in addition to my Chef IQ probes. So while yes I can use the Chef IQ probes in the MM it does not have WIFI control. So, Big Z gets pressed into service more than any other grill I own. The MM does a drop dead fantastic job and (other than aforementioned function) and it's physical dimensions is every bit as capable as Big Z. My search is still on for a suitable WIFI controller for the MM though. And when one is found the usage pattern may get reversed with Big Z not getting the bulk of the use and saved for the large cooks like a brisket, or other large roasts where it's sliding top shelf and larger lid opening is advantageous and makes large hunks of meat easier to handle.
