Hello brethren. It's been a year since I was here, I've filed all of the great advice and never come back. Sorry.
Since y'all like a good story- I was looking on CL at rummage/garage sales and stumbled upon a listing that had a pic of a WSM buried in a garage. The listing just said grill/smoker. So after the wife got home Thursday(couldn't let the kids nap alone!), I sped out to the house. I figured it would be gone by the time I got there, and I didn't want to send an earlier message tipping off what it may be worth. It was gloriously sitting at the top of the driveway waiting for me. My limit was $150, and I wandered over to see the price on the lid was $25. Being frugal, I offered $20 and the owner was happy to take it! Score!
Now, this thing needs a little work, new grates, door, vents, and a paint job. I'm sure I'll get a fancy door, and the grates will be easy to get, but where to get vents? It's an older model that doesn't even have the thermo on top. Weber's site is agitating. Is it just eBay and calling Weber?
Thanks for the help. I'll have to get some pics up when it's all said and done. Cheers
