Title: Red Thumbscrew
Post by: LightningBoldtz on October 26, 2021, 04:05:58 AM
I am always looking for weber grills both gassers and kettles.  I saw an ad for a gasser but hey I also spied a red in the background, zoomed in, wait a minute I see thumbscrews.  Sent a FB Message asking if the Red was for sale, his response "Yes how did you know"  I replied "well, I was just asking if it was".  He confirmed and gave me a price, it was very fair so I hopped in the grill gitter and snagged it.

Side note: while I was running around I had ribs on the Summit charcoal and was using the BBQ Guru cyberQ cloud that I purchase recently.  That thing is cool, while I was at the store I brought up the app and was able to adjust the temp on the fly.  Pic below of my cook.  Highly recommend it.  They don't sell the cyberq but have a replacement now  @edhead35

the thumbscrews were fairly rusted, I was able to get 2 out successfully(lots of bp blaster and patients) but one snapped off.  I drilled it and retapped all threads with a 1/4 20 tap and purchased all new thumbscrews.
