Me for one. And don't forget the Mid Atlantic Meetup on May 24. It's in PA! Look for a post tomorrow with details. Only 30 days to go!

Ha I don't think so. I think I will use it to supplement my cooking and those times when I want to get a nice flavor.

Yeah, the LAST thing we're looking for here at the WKC is food with flavor!  ;)

Ok so I was mistaken. It DOES have the handle to move the 3 vents at the bottom. So I guess all I need to do now is give it a good cleaning and buy new grates. Thoughts on cleaning the interior?

Haha, was the handle on the other side all this time?

 If it's really baked on crud, then the oven cleaner in the bag might be the way to go............

If it's merely Waste Activated Sludge  (See attachments) then scraping with a cheap utility razor blade holder or plastic paint scraper & a little soapy water or Simple Green or other mild cleaner should do it...............






 Also see these threads from the Technical Reference Guide.....the section that says Epic restorations:
