2006 DR-code Smokey Joe Platinum (Jumbo Joe)

MartyG’s NIB Smokey Joe Platinum (Original Jumbo-Joe) that was taken in on a trade for a very clean redhead a while back.

The Rescue Mission – A MartyG Kettle Adventure Story

As many rescues begin, this started with a Craig’s List search. Two simple words: Weber Grill. It’s my go-to search although I realize there are many ways a grill can show up. I don’t have a fancy alert technology. No apps. I don’t even have a cell phone. I rely on luck alone, and it’s [...]
