Time to register and introduce myself.
I live in the town of Angier, NC in central NC.
Have at least a dozen grills and smokers.
Webers owned : 18 inch 2014 kettle I just bought at a thrift store, 18 inch 2014 WSM was a thrift store find, 22 inch 1985 kettle found beside the road, 22 inch 2002 blue kettle that was a company service award, and almost forgot the GO anywhere gas I bought last year.
The 22 inch blue is my "go to" grill. The other 22 inch needs restoring.
The WSM was a great find. Already had a hinge installed. Felt seals for top and door and double charcoal grates wire to the charcoal ring. I couldn't turn it down for 37 dollars.
