  3. Already started here. Snow left over the weekend, fired up the grill Mon night and did dawgz, fired it up again last night and did burgers, tonight are BBQ chicken breasts. I work the hell out of the grill when the weather's right. Wouldn't mind having a smoker.

  5. I was going thru some pictures I saved from the fire. Where were a couple from when I was stationed in Traverse City Michigan, the grill out back with a shovel & broom so I could get to it when it was covered with snow.

  6. those things always look great when they are brand new, but quickly become very grungy looking after only 1 or 2 uses.

  7. I'm on year 2 with mine. Once you fix their 'factory' settings, or buy a new controller, they're perfect. I fixed mine and very happy with it's performance.
    Clean it like you're supposed to. Do NOT leave it uncovered when not using it. Pull that stupid screen out of the hopper. Find the online hints on 'sealing' it, and do it. I like being able to toss something on to smoke, and come home hours later, turn a knob and finish the cooking.
    Don't let it get low on pellets because bridging will make you scratch your head why it's off, still pellets in the hopper. This happened several times, until I caught it bridging and the shut off fan cycle caused enough vibration to shake the bridge loose. I'll gladly buy another if this one goes.

  8. Reminds me, I have to buy the girlfriend a new gas grill. Two years ago I recommended Weber since my family has always used them since forever.
    What I didn't know is that Weber farmed out the gas grills to China. End of last season I went to clean it and found that the only thing holding it together was the rust. Up on the deck, and she's a fanatic about covering it after use.
