New SJ Family Members- The Galley Q and the Blue Wave
« on: April 10, 2014, 09:55:17 AM »
Got two new SJs these past weeks from an epic WKC trade. One was a long time grail, the other its perfect partner. I love this place!



That is one beefy handle on the Q


Side shot of ash pan


Awesome backwards C stamped


And of course the European tour continues with this blue wave...


They just came out with Crimson red SJs in Europe and Canada, so keep your eyes open for them! In fact HD in Toronto carries them.

Hey Tattooedant,
That beefy handle on the Galley Que could be used to carry the grill around, but that small slot in the metal swing handle was meant for a special bracket (from Weber) to fit into there.  That bracket in turn was meant to clamp to a pole off the side of the boat.  The grill was secured by this at the metal handle and the kettle itself stayed level while the boat rocked back and forth.

Here is a photo of that bracket


Here is what its supposed to look like when mounted up.

Those galley ques are very cool looking with that dome on the bottom.  Is the handle stainless steel?  It does look very beefed up.

OH, thanks for that Jeff! That makes perfect sense. I see you're rocking both of yours in the pics. I may need to hit you up for some dimensions on that bracket...currently looking for a boat to mount it on... 8)

tattooedant, those are a pair of great-looking grills. The non-U.S. grills don't get much play here, so they intrigue me. You mentioned HD in Toronto; I briefly looked instead at amazon.ca but only saw "regular" models. Seems odd that the home team can't support more colors, but I suppose we never really did overall.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Nice looking SJs, tattooedant!

I am curious ... How many members believe that Canada is part of Europe?
Well, we are not. We do not get the European colours up here. In fact, we're lucky if we see anything other than black.
I have been lucky enough to stumble upon a few red kettles, and a blue.

Sorry for the short rant ... keeping my eyes peeled for some coloured kettles in the GWN.  :) 8)

Nice grills. Don't forget to hook the cable to the lid.

Amazing score tattoo!  Either one of those would be a grail for many folks here and you got them both.   Nice work! :o

P.S.  Thanks for the tip on the 'crimson' SJs!
Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.
