Title: Show your pit!
Post by: Duke on July 08, 2012, 08:21:12 AM
Share a photo of one you use most. Tell us about the setup and why it's the one.

I use this almost everyday. I am pretty sure i'm the only one here who doesn't even own a stove. :)

It was an OTS until I made it a gold and added a lid bale. I really like the ci grate.
 I still need to add a thermometer. I also made a charcoal holder out of expanded metal.

Yes! Sierra Azul. ;D

Nice setup Zav! I have one of those charcoal holders. They work great don't they? Where did you get yours?
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: zavod44 on July 09, 2012, 08:45:39 PM
I got one of the charcoal buckets with a old Brownie I picked up, which was the reason I got the grill in the first place.  The other I just got on ebay like two weeks ago.  I love them so much.  I fill them up all the time but I don't care!

That's really funny! I got mine with an old 22 brownie that I didn't really want. It really makes adding coal easier.

I think weber created the perfect grill with the Master-Touch. 

(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1904/full1sc.jpg)

Since I have had this one, it does about 80% of my grilling.  Just one more option I need to add to this grill .... should be appearing in a couple weeks.

alright...quit teasing...what option are you waiting for?

Not "waiting for",  making. 

It is not that exciting actually, but I am making a simple side table that was inspired by a post from an Aussie on tvwbb.  He found and refinished a wide slatted table that looked really cool to me.  I am taking that design cue and combining it with another weber made side table with the pipe legs.  I think you might have one Jeff?

Anyway,  half way done, I will post the details when it is finished.

I saw that table too.....it's awesome.  I know Troy was looking for a side table.  I wonder if he would like one of those.  I could build him one.  A while back he was looking for a side table and I said I would build him one.  I like this table G$ is talking about.  Maybe Troy would like that one too....?

Yeah...I have one of those old Weber tables with the pipe legs.  I posted it on the "other" site!  Look forward to seeing how yours turns out!

do we know for sure that that awesome table with the two legs is weber?

i seem to remember seeing a NIB one (and i vaguely remember offering the guy WAY too much money for it)
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Duke on July 10, 2012, 08:36:48 PM
If it's the redish table i'm thinking of it was a genuine weber and was made of an exotic wood.

Yeah duke, that is the one I am talking about.  If things go as planned, mine will not be that red-ish color, but will resemble my new handles in color.

Duke is exactly right, that was the inspiration.  BUT, I am going to probably use the leg style that you linked to Troy.   It will be a hybrid.
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: zavod44 on July 11, 2012, 08:39:05 PM
Troy you in the market for that table?  I know I could build one pretty close to the one on TVWBB.  You got any grill accessories in play for a trade?

Brian
Title: Re: Show your pit!

i'd like one, but i don't think i'm in the market right now.

i still haven't got my 2nd performer up on the deck yet - it's been my driveway cooker :)

I've been using the simpsons the most this past year.  My preferred method of cooking is indirect, then searing at the end.....reverse sear.

That's a nice grills Smooth & Larry, be careful with that grill brush. There's been a rash of people swallowing the little bristles that fall off. I always use an ss or copper pad. 

BTW, I remeber after chris banned you your wsm came up on craigs and all of chris's fanboys freaked out. I wish I could find that old thread. I'm sure it's long gone since it was in the trading post. ;D

LOL Brian, I use a hose torch to light my kettles.  I made a hanger for the bottle near where the bottle should screw into the Performer.  My hose took a crap and now I just use a regular torch on a bottle of MAPP gas.

I have a few others, but this was my 1st kettle and I use it over any of the others.  Probably because I primarily cook for just my wife, I, and my 2 year old son.  Doesn't use a lot of coal either compared to the 22".

I've stopped using the green one - i replaced it with a red stainless steel performer.
I've also stopped using the red 26" (which breaks my heart)

Why?  ???
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Troy on July 26, 2012, 09:40:54 AM
multiple reasons.

mainly, i can't stand dealing with the 3 daisy wheels on the bottom. i strongly prefer the one-touch system.

plus, with so many kettles on my back deck, wasps become a problem - so i moved all but the two performers and the green kettle to the garage.

the daisy wheels let ash and embers fall and fly all over
the daisy wheels get too hot to touch
they're usually too hard to turn, or too easy to turn

the one touch is USUALLY cool enough to touch.
falling ash and embers are solved by the gold/performer version of the ash bucket
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Duke on July 26, 2012, 12:06:29 PM
You are exactly right. Those are definitly draw backs. I can't tell you how many times I have been burned turning those things. :o The daisy's are mainly good for smoking where you only need one.
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Troy on July 26, 2012, 12:50:29 PM
i can see where the daisies would be easier to fine tune for smoking

i do pretty well with the one-touch though, it just takes some getting used to.

with my bandit, i just keep the vents completely closed until the temps start to run low (usually after 15 hours)

New to the sight, just added this vintage 26" to my collection.
Need to find legs for the table. Such a classic not sure if I should be using it.

That vintage 26 is fantastic glrasmussen, and the table is badass.

Knowing weber, they probably used the same piping that the legs use.

I think it's just 1" aluminum. one of the other guys knows more i'm sure.

You can usually get some shower rod.  It's just 1" aluminum tube.  You could have legs tomorrow.  Take the caps off the small propane bottles and put them on the ends, voila!

Make sure it is 1 inch OD.

For the leg tips, like Brian said I have used propane caps with great success.  ACE HW also sells "Plastic Tips".  The package says Plastic Tips, 4 Pcs.  The one inch version is part number 56020, and the cost 2 bucks for the four pack.

The handles on the 22.5 are Brian's. The 18.5 and the Smokey Joe are original. Some of you may have seen this set up before. My 18.5 has a modern leg kit on it. The originals are in my garage awaiting restoration to remove some pitting on the legs and clean up the original metal wheels. Right now that 18.5 looks accross between a mid '60s and a late '70s kettle. -Craig

Post by: Ted B on August 11, 2012, 06:01:25 PM
Is that a MT or an one touch plus?  It has the frisbee ash catch with the ot cleaning system.  I have had a hard time figuring out the exact model.

Beautiful Ted...very Nice. 

And Craig I agree, there is a much better feel to this site, no old boys club here, everyone should be here to have fun, not get yelled at, this site is all of ours, it's ours to make it great.

The good ol' boys joined in '09. Not really that ol', but they bought into all of the offers, posted tons and donated lot's of moolah. That's how they became the great fanboys they are today. :D

Hey Bo..Luke?...Uncle Jessie?....I mean Duke

I need some tips on installing the lid holder and a thermometer.  Do you use a certain drill bit?  It seems like the porcelain would start to crumble during drilling.  I have a one touch gold that I want to turn into a master touch...would appreciate any tips

Thanks man....good to talk with y'all again.

I just mark and drill. You could put some tape on it before you mark it to be safe. The tape might keep it from chipping to much. Good Luck! ;D

Sounds good. I would just need the brackets as I have a piece of wood in mind, and can handle that part of it. Too bad they don't make them in stainless. Did you use the zinc or painted? Hard to tell from the photo.

I used the zinc ones, and sprayed them with an oil to keep then from rusting.

Thanks Jeff
The chocolate one at the front is the one I contacted you about a couple of weeks ago. It turned out to be a 1980 model as you said which is pretty old for a Weber grill in OZ. It was a bit of a mission to get seeing as it was on eBay in another state. Luckily the seller was willing to pack it for me and I organized a courier to pick it up.

I was so busy looking at the shiny grills I didn't notice.  lol

Very nice collection of grills, landgraftj.  That smokey joe collection would look good on the a shelf in my office! ;)

Hi, There are some nice collections here!

I use my wsm the most. The Stoker is a new addition.
(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/199050_852615145258_1859317188_n.jpg)

I use my SSP the second most- the Craycort was a wedding gift!

Last but not least, here is the Ranch. I've only been able to use it a few times this year.
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/250643_821280934268_2131546664_n.jpg)

I got rid of a lot of grills the past month so the stable is down to basics. I gave my SJ to a friend after I converted it to a smoker, my 22" OTG, and  Daisy wheel 18"

Cheers!

They are old charcoal holders.  My parents had them back in the seventies when I was a kid.  I got them just because they bring back memories.  One has coshell, one has kingsford and one has hardwood lump.  I found two of them on ebay and one came with the coppermist.

and the yellow box is a wheelbarrow esky, made as a promo prize at the bottleshop, bought as an unwanted prize and now is our soccer team esky

So if I am understanding....it's a cooler?   I love Australians, we both speak English but somehow I never know what they are saying  :D  Did they sell these Ford's in the US?  Was is called a Fairmont here?  Does it have a big engine?

Yeh it's a cooler will post some pics

It was modeled of the USA 1966 ford falcon
Fairmont is the Luxo model
Base model was falcon 500
Next up  was futura
Then fairmont
Then GT
yes biggest motor it came with 351ci Cleveland
Very similar to a futura sports coupe

Actually that thing's sitting in the shop right now for a re-fab.....
I did it for some friends & somebody left it on the ground or hung...
they have 6 or 8 Chihuahuas & Old Red, a pit mix w/ the head the size of a brisket...
It's just not safe there...

The dahmer series! ;D

I don't get too daffy with Dahmer, even though I appreciate the jest, as I grew up 8 houses away from Richard Trenton Chase....Google him up for a fun time.... :)
The 3-wheels are grate, tho I've had some get so gunked w/ pork juice they got way loose & almost popped off !!!
I'm currently saving my largest pork butt bones for a possible attempt at side handles...
Might prove tricky ?

Buckie, you can remove the vents and replace the rivets with nuts and bolts. Then when they get gunked up you can just remove them and clean them up. I just replaced a set that came out pretty nice.

Been there, done that...
Was thinking about stamping a tiny " W " in the bolt head, so it's somehow more official ~~> 8)

The re-fit that baffles me is the two long rivet top handle......
I got one of those that needs fixin'.....

They really do get gunked up too, I'm a mess most days....

alright...quit teasing...what option are you waiting for?

Not "waiting for",  making. 

It is not that exciting actually, but I am making a simple side table that was inspired by a post from an Aussie on tvwbb.  He found and refinished a wide slatted table that looked really cool to me.  I am taking that design cue and combining it with another weber made side table with the pipe legs.  I think you might have one Jeff?

Anyway,  half way done, I will post the details when it is finished.

It's definitely a weber table made for the Australian market
If anyone needs measurements or photos I can post them
I actually bought another one a month ago that is a full trolley kinda like the sequoia
But sits in the trolley using the handles instead of the tabs on the outside of the bowl so you can use any OTS in it. The trolley also has its own lid holder
I haven't posted any photos yet cause it needs a bit of work
Cheers

Duke do purchase Nuts and Bolts from Weber or Hardware Store?
I have three daisy's, but nothing to attach them with.

Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Duke on September 25, 2012, 03:58:14 PM
Yes, what I do is get stainless nuts and bolts. I just put one washer on the inside and a lockwasher on top of that. It will keep the vent from coming loose and you can adjust it to the tightness you prefer.

Great shot Micheal. That's quite the collection you've got there

Would love to hear some feedback on it
Cheers

Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Michael Berry on October 12, 2012, 04:46:03 AM
The fireplace works great...used it for the first time last Sunday night.  I found this one on CL.  It had only been used a couple of times.  I don't know if it is supposed to come with any kind of grate for the bottom but I used an extra 22.5 charcoal grate to start the fire on.  Don't know if it matters but it worked well for me.  I can say that I don't think the grate will last very long, it was warped pretty bad after only one fire.  I like the open sides.  Makes it easy to add wood and poke.  Up until now I used a Coleman fire pit which I enjoyed very much.  It has kind of  a wire cage around the sides with a door which is not easy to use once the fire gets going good so you have to lift the top every time you add wood.  Anyway, the Weber fireplace is better. It's big,it's sturdy, it's easy to use, it's a Weber.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Winter just slows me down because I found that Easy Off oven cleaner works GREAT for cleaning the inside of the kettles, and I need sunshine for that, and that is a hard commodity to come by in Washington...lol.. I use greased lightening on most but found Easy off works best for me. I won't slow down on picking them up though..lol...

Those are the original handles. This grill was unused when I bought it. When I picked it up from the seller, they told me that a relative had used it in some kind of store display and later on packed it up and tucked it into a corner of the attic. Years later (last summer) it came to them to get rid of it. It was a little over an hour drive but well worth it. The only fault was that the charcoal grate was missing. It turns out it is no longer available from Weber. I cut a piece of expanded metal to fit and I'm using that.

Unfortunately even though the grill is covered most of the time, the finish on the handles seems to be deteriorating. They don't look as good any more. I will consult with Brian for suggestions to refinish them. (Spar varnish?)

Mine is no longer pristine. I collect them to use them. Here is the inaugural cook:

   (Spar varnish?)

Yes....Marine Spar Varnish, it's made to withstand salt water, used for sealing boats' wood against those kinds of elements....

Stuff's raging expensive, but well worth the results..... :)
Title: Re: Show your pit!
Post by: Duke on January 10, 2013, 06:58:57 AM
The picture of that leg on there could be in a magazine! It doesn't seem like any other weber grate will work as a charcoal grate in those does it. When I restored one a while back I had to just save the trashed old rusted one and flatten it and add expanded metal again. I notice on the newer models the top grate from a 22 will fit perfectly as a replacement.

As for the butcherblock table extension on the performer, it is something I made.......
I can easily make more......it would probably be $200 for all the hardware, table and shipping........Don't be afraid to email me with any questions.....or orders....lol

Okay so the weather was very nice here today, and I got a chance to update the family portrait.  I did realize after the fact I forgot my Jumbo Joe...He will have to feel left out until next time....

So all of you can use this to show your wives.  You can tell them "look at this, our yard could look like this...."

Oh and here they are with all their covers.....

Okay listen G, you have contributed to this nonsense.  Plus I thought I Was doing good! I sold two out of the other picture, but in retrospect, I guess I added five back....andddddddddd the red 18 is technically G's as well, I thought I would toss it in for good measure...I could live with one redhead, but one is the fade, and the other has that cool vent wheel with the word Weber just etched in, not raised....oh and Hank is trading me a green one, soooooo

 Yea I did sell another redhead, it was a beater.  I actually sold that other red Mastertouch to Marty that he traded.  So there were five redheads for a brief time.    And thank Craig you for mentioning the covers.  Once I put them all on and saw them, they kinda look like jammies for the grills,  They put them on and go nite nite....

well, I spent $115 on grills in just over two days & I've got like $17 to last the next ten days.....luckily everything's covered & me & the dawgs got lotsa pulled pork to eat !!!

10 is really not a "Problem", I wouldn't think.....see, I'd have a hard time pointing to you & saying to the wife: "Well, he's got ten of them....so there !!!"

On the other hand, if you point me or one of these folks that have 3/4's of the large yard filled & try to minimize  your position of owning ten to the wife, well........just don't know if that will fly from her point of view...... ;D

Now that they are spanking clean, the Performer sisters dragged some more family members out to take a picture. Little red riding hood could do with some ash pan detailing, and the MT up front needs a new leg set, but they are ready for action. The MT will go to my son in SF - he and his wife just bought their first house. They have a Weber Q, but c'mon, a vintage MT is where it's at. Other little details here and there, but that's half the fun.

I cooked on gassers for years.
When I moved into my house 9 yrs ago, my folks got me a Napoleon gasser ... locally made.

Years later, I bought a Gourmet Charcoal Brinkmann for $60, then modded it before it's first use. Works great!

Then decided to build a UDS ... With a Happy Cooker dome lid courtesy of 1buckie.  :D

Then bought a new AA OTS .... Then built a mini UDS using a 16 gallon drum, and a SJ lid.

The snowball continued to roll ... I have added more to that list ... Just Webers now!  :D :D I finally saw the light.  8) ;)

My trio of three-wheelers. I know, I know, wheels were not capped and one of them went caddywhampus and I did not see that until I took the shot and packed them all up again. All three are virtually new or NIB. The 18 is the one I traded the red MT for a while back. The 76/77 22.5 is the one I wrote the story about, and the "basic" kettle is the one I picked up at the June Meetup.

Merry Christmas Mr B!!!

Ted's wife bought a table exstension for him from me for Christmas (little early, I know but well worth it). He took his wife out for dinner tonight so I quickly installed it while he is gone......Question is, will he check the forum while out for dinner with his wife.....lol

Looks Awesome Ted

Brent



where does one get the extension table...is this homemade or is there someone that makes it? i want one!!!!

Post by: Ted B on July 30, 2013, 07:18:17 AM
Big b makes them. They are a work in progress. That was my first table. It warped badly so we are on number two. Waiting to see how it reacts. Also they aren't cheap. Very cool though. I love it.

Post by: anderson143 on July 30, 2013, 07:26:27 AM
thanks for the reply. keep us posted if you guys take orders....price anit a concern with something that legit. i built my table because a performer just didnt have the prep area that i wanted but my table isnt nearly as mobile as a performer and it takes up alot of room in the garage if i could get a folding table like that and still get a performer cover over it i would be in heaven.

I posted a pic about a year ago but even then it was about a year out of date. Since I picked up the red master touch this week while in Seattle, I decided I needed to update the group shot. I posted this on my Facebook page and some of my friends are recommending that I seek professional help... and my wife is starting to get short on patience. She says 15 should be enough but I am still missing quite a few colors! Not to mention the 22" WSM, 26.75 kettle...

Hey Duke! Life has been busy and not enough time for forums, but I always make time to Q! I think my wife would want "words" with whoever it was that told me about the Craig's List app for my phone. And I get frustrated at the deals I have to pass up. The real hard part is I have not been to a single BBQ Comp this year!

Finally put my "new to me" pit into the rotation and love it.  A vintage red or brown flat top 26 is at the top of my grail list.  Both bowl handles were attached with screws.  I left the back handle off to make it easier to maneuver the lid.  Also added an ash can but not sure I like it since it isn't secure (spins) to the bowl.

This weeks fixer upper. Some kinda gasser. It has 13 flavorizer bars. Nice grill for most stuff but not a 750 degree steak sear station.

Before

After
(http://s778.photobucket.com/albums/yy64/lowindo/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-31.jpg)

Still gotta put some linseed oil on the wood parts and then it's going to a new home.

Pressure washed, painted the box and ends, sand the wood, new regulator, and new flavorizer bars.

It was a nice day so I figured all the Webers needed to come out for a cleaning, a photo and a cook:

(http://i59.tinypic.com/j0bhhw.jpg)

Put in about a third of a smaller chimney with a mix of briquettes and lump in the jumbo WSM with some oak chunks and kept temps on the top shelf between 180-190 for about an hour with some ice in the water pan:

I took the steak and burgers off and cooked them on the blue Kettle to finish.  No plate shot but the steak was medium rare and burgers juicy with just a slight bit of pink.  Smoke taste was good, especially on the steak.  The extra middle section on the WSM was a fix by Weber for a missing grommet on the initial purchase.  The WSM is named Bertha but when she goes with the 2 middle rings she likes to be referred to as Smokezilla.

From over the winter:

Here are a couple of older pics of my pit crew.  I really need to get a a current group photo taken.

This was taken in 2012. 

The black 22" is a EE (1999) 3 wheeler that originally came with wooden handles.  I received this as a birthday gift in 1999.   Some dumb ass removed them and replaced them with plastic.  The Smokey Joe is a C (1981) in mint shape that I picked up at a garage sale less than 5 miles from Harbormaster's back yard in 2012 for $3.00.  I immediately converted it into a mini smoker.  The performer is a left handed hi-bred I rebuilt.  I picked up an EZ (1998) Performer off craigslist for $50.00 in 2010.  The bowl and lid where not in the best of shape so I made a call to Weber and ordered up new ones.  While I had it apart for cleaning and painting I decided to put it together the other way since I am left handed.

Last fall while moving out of our old house one of my neighbors set this beauty out by the curb.  Gone in 60 Seconds my ass, I made it disappear in less than 20 seconds!  It looks like it had been in the garage unused for the last 20+ years.  It is a 70's model from all the clues, so 1971-1978.  I have to get busy cleaning it up so I can get it dirty.

I think it is hard to have a collection like "some others"  Key is, do you love your kettle and are you turning out any good food in it? 

Many of my jems pass right through me, usually to a member.  All I need for cookers is a couple of 22's and I am good.

An excellent point. I absolutely LOVE my kettle, and I'm generally quite happy with the food that comes out of it. It would be be awesome to have a stable of vintage kettles, if I could get a Performer and a WSM then I'd be quite happy. In the meantime I'll keep plugging away with what I've got. Cheers!

There's been some changes:

- The 18" WSM was just replaced with a 22" WSM craigslist find.
- A 22" OTG from craigslist was added to the lineup primarily as a dedicated hi heat pizza cooker but also serves as the tailgate/travel grill.

The 22" inch lineup gets most of the work these days, The 14's and 18's stay mostly in the garage for reserve use.
I should probably move the SJS and the 18" down the road but the miniWSM is sentimental so that stays around no matter what.

It looks like the 22.5 WSM ate the 18.  Very nice collection, black is beautiful for sure.  If you ever want to move that Performer, let me know (worth a shot).  I'm only a few hours away [emoji6]

Share a photo of one you use most. Tell us about the setup and why it's the one.

I use this almost everyday. I am pretty sure i'm the only one here who doesn't even own a stove. :)

 (http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1421/018nh.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/232/018nh.jpg/)

It was an OTS until I made it a gold and added a lid bale. I really like the ci grate.
 I still need to add a thermometer. I also made a charcoal holder out of expanded metal.
