Got a big box from Stu. I did not wait very long for it, but it felt like it took years to arrive.
That big box just had a hat!? I didn't even ask for a hat from him! Stu, what are you doing to me? (Also, THANKS for the hat Stu!)
There were a few other goodies I did not know about in the box. For those wondering, the white sheet is white wall decals! (Thanks for the surprise goodies Stu!)
In addition to the goodies, there was what I will call "extras". More legs and wheels and ash pans than I asked for, but some how he knew I needed them! And look how they were protected! (Thanks for the extras Stu! I really did need them!)
These are a couple more shots of some good shipping protection. I have never protected the bowl rim like this using pipe insulation. it is a terrific idea and protects both the bowl and lid during proper shipping, and I hope you can make it out:
and an innovative solution to keep the kettle secure on the bottom:
Yes, there was a kettle. Check out the handle protection system.
Lastly, have you ever found such a nice vent? No cleaning needed for once! Stu, Thank you for sending a clean grill!
