If anyone needs a fire hydrant and is in the area I'm willing to talk.  Oh and it's heavier than hell...

Here is a little cook I did just to get great grandpa back into the action....Did some chicken legs for the Bears game, then they blew it in overtime...at least I had some grilling fun..












We'll see what we can do in the weeks to come. 

Oh and I did also want to mention, that AJ has to throw out the fact that Cali so soooo nice this time of year.  As you can see it is still pretty nice here...

Looks awesome Brian...and yes, that grill looks fun to cook on.

I noticed you had a pan underneath for ashes that drop down.  I'm assuming this grill never came with any sort of pan for that right?

Yea no ash pan was a little weird, I put a little thing so there was no fires...., or at least the dogs wouldn't eat any hot coals....which these two dummies might.  Ah and AJ, I do love wearing shorts....I do miss that a little.  Was 35 here this morning

Nice looking Ranch and wings! Does the modern Ranch grate fit the old style or is it just like the old vs. new 26.75's where grate fitting is concerned?

Looks like you could use the lid to a 18" for the ash catcher. Just awesome.

I'm not sure how long it would be before I got up the nerve but sooner or later I'd have to throw a whole hog on that dude.
