I'm done. DONE! I've learned my lesson...

[mike.stavlund]

Those of us in Bman's considerable CL shadow applaud his impending retirement. The dude has bought every CL kettle in the greater DC area in the last week.  It's hardly fair.

Buckie.... It's an honor for you to coin my phrase as a tagline
By the way I used one of your old taglines on another forum

[1buckie]

Which one ya sportin'?

[Hogsy]

Im not sure you had it as a tagline , but I remember you telling the story of-

I had one guy on another forum tell me: "Don't worry, you're still 4 or 5 kettles away from being  'That creepy guy down the street with all the Webers' "

[1buckie]

Yeah, that was Awning Guy over at Smoke Ring, I'm also using that one there, currently....

He's also the guy who built that center of the kettle tube modification.....

See "This One's for Cookingmama......", I think in "Grilling & BBQing"....Good guy, I invited him here, but I think he's pretty busy
He was gracious enough to let me borrow his pics to use here....

He was also the guy me & Ray (HellFireGrill) were talking about, that was asking for video, if the wife ever beat me with one of the Webers I brought home !!!!



Here's that mod thread....

Thanks Buckie , I just went searching for the thread and you posted it
I'd forgotten about that thread....looks like another project
Did the inventor just cut a hole out of a regular grill?
Might have to get cookingmama to give us some feedback on it

[1buckie]

Yeah, he just cut out a regular, non-flipup, I believe....

Great metalworking skills he has !!!!

Me, I've just last week found a suitable tube & will have to really work at it to get something to come out that good.....

She's not actually used the thing,I just thought it was interesting, as in a thread right around that same time, she was talking about piling coals in the middle & using the outside edge as grill space....

FinkFarm did some grate cookups using that array, too.....

[Hogsy]

I like the idea, especially how the tube sits higher than the grate, it means there's no direct heat and it frees up more space for cooking

[1buckie]

Appearently it works really good, his brother or some relation has one & did even better than him on fuel useage, etc.....

I think it's worth a fixup, would work grate for certain items....
