Great now you have added to  my "gotta have list' I didn't know they made 26" that early. Great find that's for sure.

Congrats, that Fleetwood is a beauty, as is the 18. 

"I'm done, no need to look for any more grills."  I've told myself this one a number of times, then the next one pops up and I can't say no...

[Mr.CPHo]

Great post Charlie. I'm looking forward to seeing your awesome cooks on that Fleetwood.

Travis, I gotta thank you personally, because as I waited for the Fleetwood to arrive, I scoured the WKC site for more pics of Fleetwoods; and the only ones that weren't Photo-Phucked were yours.

This size is perfectly adequate for majority of my cooks, and if I need more space for sides etc, I just double down with another 18".  Sometimes I'll pull out a SSP or 22" midget, but like I said, the 18" is perfect for just my wife and I.

I do a lot of cooks on our 18". If I'm just throwing on something quick for just my wife, daughter and I, the 18" gets used. It's a good size. If we have friends over or I'm smoking something I fire up the 22". Like you, I prefer the MBH's.

Congrats on the vintage 26r!

I'll pick this up next month when I go down to see Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade in concert.

Jealous. Very jealous.

Oh... and congrats on the 26 and 18...

Beautiful grills Charlie. I too am really starting to like the 18's.

Very nice!!!!!

Glad that completes your collection :-)

The tiniest bit of progress is still a step in the right direction.

What are you using to clean up your wheels?

[Mr.CPHo]

White vinegar, 0000 wool, perseverance.

So far so good. The best things take patience.

Looks like you do very well at preserving the whitewall. Well done, Charlie.

I don't know if you have ever heard of evapo rust.  I tried it out on my old brownies steel wheels. Pretty good stuff just soak and rinse. I soaked them for days. Removes rust, leaves the paint behind, rinses with water and reusable. Works great on triangles too. Didn't hurt the rubber on the wheels either.

[Mr.CPHo]

Thank you for that tip, @Kneab.  I will go back and try that.  This is my first time working on steel wheels and I'm being extra cautious around the rubber tread.
