Just a followup on the thermometer: Got an oven thermometer and had it on the grate this weekend.  Interesting observations:

- Not surprisingly, the lid meter will report dramatically different figures depending on the orientation of the lid, ie whether the meter is above the coal bed or not.  I was doing a side-to-side layout yesterday and there was a good 50+ difference between the meter being over one of the beds vs. in between.

- Lid meter NOT over the coal bed is actually pretty close to the oven meter on the grate in roughly the same position.  However....

- With vents all-open, the lid will still tend to read higher than the oven therm...but with vents partially closed, the oven therm actually reads equal or even slightly higher than the lid.

^^ Agreed.

Now, if I'll only be able to remember any of it later ...
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

"erroneously pigeonholes their kettle "


I will give up my erroneously pigeonholed kettle when they pry my cold dead fingers from around it !!!!



But seriously, I wrote Troy a long time ago about a bunch of threads that had, from my perspective at least, had merit or value as to infomation on dating, style changes, colors & the like......there were at that time a few on cleaning & restoration; this area is much more pronounced now.......

He said he'd not like to keep expanding the sections to more & morwe areas & I really get that, 'cause it can turn into
what G$ is talking about.....

I will be the voice of dissent.

Sometimes a thread morphs in to a resto.  Then what? Or it contains restoration and non restoration topics.  I still think the volume is manageable the way it is.  I sort of like that there are relatively fewer forums, rather than multiple forums with low activity.
Whats next, deleting threads due to inactivity? 
I kid, I kid.


Another way  that I was thinking about this, which may or may not make sense to do, or even work worth a dang, is to "Sticky" the posts that develop up into a valueable segment of information....
{ Disclaimer: I'm at best a 2nd or 3rd tier addition to this place, may not be on track at all & probably was allowed in mostly for entertainment purposes anyway.....}

That way, they can be found, they stay put, they develop over time as new info becomes appearent, the info could be more easily distilled for "article-ing" on the front page (stuff that's easy to digest for the general Weber public), but then if anyone wants to see how info was arrived at.....the progession is intact & available......

Here they are:
( And keep in mind, this was dated Nov. 2 right before I got ferociously sick & I gathered up a few more / 5 or 6 / after this AND ALSO ~~~> There's a bunch of newer ones that I've not kept track of.....so this may not work....Yeah, right Buckie let's just "Sticky" the whole place...bumper stickers all around..... :o )
The one item that doesn't get too well represented is the gas assist Performers, my fault, as I know very little about them & don't know what to look for in a disscussion thread,; I tried.... 

There's also a couple cleaning & repair threads at the bottom, in thinking possibly we could be of service to the general public ( the Weber public, I guess...)
