My cleaned up NB CL score from last week! (w/pron)

UNTSIG · 05-24-2010, 01:20 PM

I spent a few hours on Sunday afternoon sanding down the old NB offset I picked up last week and then repainted it. Once done, I fired it up to play with the temp ranges and control for a few hours before cooking on it next Saturday. It seems to settle in nicely in the 225-250 range. I can't wait to cook on it.

I'm going to replace all the wood on it too, but I didn't have the time yesterday to do that. My wife was surprised at how good it looked when I was done compared to what she saw when I brought it home unannounced.......

Nice job....looks great!

Nice job cleaning that up, Want to come over and clean my kettle?

BluesDaddy · 05-24-2010, 01:40 PM

Looks good! Are you putting a new thermometer in or just hadn't had a chance to replace the old one when the "after" pic was taken?

I'm putting a new one in, but I haven't bought it yet. I used the opening to run a probe down to grate level to play around with the temps. I wrapped the wire with aluminum foil and it filled the opening up too.

Nice Job! That'll look brand new once you get to the woodwork.

whodeyQ · 05-24-2010, 04:22 PM

went back to wooden handles too, looks nice.

JamesTX · 05-24-2010, 04:25 PM

Those are the same pits? Why did you replace the handles?

jmilleronaire · 05-24-2010, 04:29 PM

If it's the same pit, he replaced the firebox too. Also, the wood that 'needs work' went from a single board to three boards? Something funny there..

moda253 · 05-24-2010, 04:35 PM

Why is the firebox square in one pic but round in the other?

The fire box is round with a shelf on top, not square. You can't see it because it is open in the "after pic". I pulled the before pic from CL, so I may have pulled the wrong one in regards to the handles and board.

Sorry about that, but I picked it up from a storage unit that looks just like that one and it was in the same worn out condition as the one in the "before pic".

Anyway, I was surprised at how much better it looked with just a few hours of sweat equity put into the deal.
