Thank you all very much for the kind comments!

I've finally typed out the first part of the complete story which has just been posted to the WKC Homepage.

Believe it or not the second installment is even more insane than the first!! I'm just waiting on some last minute pictures then it will also be posted up in a few days 8)

Take care guys, and hope you enjoy.

Matt

Wow "SixZeroFour"!! 
The story reads better than reality!!  (It's like watching the highlights of your favorite game!  ;) )
And I believe: ANYONE IN THE CLUB WOULD DO THE SAME for any other member!   ;D
Most just don't get the opportunity!!! 
This grill is a "Grail of a lifetime", and I can't wait to see it loaded and cooking!! 
Now......about that yellow!!!!  8) 8)

 Nice ranch.  I find the lid vent tab interesting.  The $4K one from the late 1950's - square tab,  the one I have  (late 1960's early 70's) - round tab, 
back to square tab.

That is interesting... @Winz is your top tab squared off as well?
