Well that's all I've got time for tonight. Safe to say the cats out the bag!

Replaced all the fixings with SS. Wheels are just cable tied on till the collars come.



Nice satin finish, really good job by the powdercoaters







Also died the rollers black

Before/after






More to come tomorrow night!

That turned out super! Love the wood handles. Time to plan a party and fire that beast up and put a bunch of food on it.

Thanks! Real happy with it! Wife's birthday tomorrow so cooking for 17 on it!

Those handles aren't the final piece, just borrowed them off my GA, Brian's sent me these but they haven't arrived just yet

Thanks mate! Yeah real happy, I'm going to temporarily house the beast under the pergola which means moving brownie and 26 out the way for now, took lots of deciding to commit

Wife says thank you!

Thanks man, everyone was very happy, the ranch sure was a topic of interest, funnily enough my wife didn't even mention it, as if it was always there!

Quote from: bgilbert44 on April 28, 2026, 11:16:12 AMVery nice score, Tommie! Just a heads up, the date code for the Ranch is located on the bottom vents on the bowl. You should be able to determine the exact year from there. The Ranch was re-designed to it's modern configuration around 1992 IIRC, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's from 1992-99.

Spot on by the way, 1995. I obviously heard wrong before so thanks for the info

Ah, one year older than my '96.... looks amazing.  Glad the cookout went well!  Looked like a grate time with some grate food.  Nice job!

Cheers

Tommie

Goodies turned up from Brian Saturday and I had no idea my Neigbour had taken them in for me until today, so missed out on them for the first cook, doh! Never mind, very pleased with the haul. Black ones are for my 26
