I'm on my way to North Georgia to first do a little Weber trading/buying tomorrow, followed up by a barbecue contest Friday and Saturday. The two toned blue WSM will be in its new home this time tomorrow.

It was GRATE to meet @Rub. I wish we could have spent more time together. I traded Rub the barn find Glen Blue for the WSM. Some work to do but it should clean up really well. Also, Rub picked up a Patent Pending Yachtsman and a 1974 NOS Statesman

I think Rub shared the story before ( when he offered the WSM to club ).

Thanks guys, it's been a great day. I really enjoyed meeting @harris92 and talking kettles with him. He's a wealth of info and fun to talk with. I think we could have drank a few beers and BS'd about kettles for hours. A real grillfella.
I'm digging the grills I was able to pick up. I'll put a post with some details sometime on my blog. For now here's some pics from today.
And @TD here's the write up I did on the blue WSM: http://www.swampboys.com/wordpress/two-tone-blue-wsm/

The legs wouldn't come out so I made the decision to have them cut off so the deal could go through. ISO legs and wheels ;)

Thanks again y'all. The Glen blue is off to have some small spots fixed.
The contest didn't go as well as I'd hoped. 8th overall out of 41 teams, with a 1st place in ribs.
